Background:

As we head into the 20th Anniversay of the 9/11 attack on America, we stop to honor the memory of the three thousand that perished in the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and Shanksville. We will Never Forget. But on this day of all days, Joe Biden surrenders Afghanistan to to Taliban. As events unfold Americas saw the televised withdrawl of our military before our citizens and our Afghan  partners. Thirteen American soliders were murdered at Abbey Gate in Kabul. As their bodies in flag draped caskets arrived for the Dignified Transfer, Biden was seen checking his watch numerous times to the disgust and anger of the new Gold Star families. Nancy Pelosi blocked the reading of the names into the Congressional Record as Americans watched in horror the Biden Administration leave Billions of dollars of military equiptment and weaponry including Bagram Air Force Base in Taliban hands. Afghanistan is now a safe haven for Al Queda, Taliban, ISIS-K and the Haqqani Network. This will go down in history as one of the worst decisions  a President  of the United States could have made. Our allies don't trust us and the state of the world is in a higher state danger. Also we must mention on September 11, 2012 the attack on Benghazi occurred killing 4 including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Joe Biden was Vice President. Who will be held accountable? Is America in danger of another terrorist attack because of this botched withdrawl?
