<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Friday released <a href="https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ID=A3CBAC53-6393-49A6-AE5A-236059C9ADC9">a statement</a> regarding his conversation with Afghanistan’s Ambassador to the U.S., Adela Raz, and the ongoing situation relating to the Biden administration’s disastrous troop withdrawal.</p>
<p>“This debacle was not only foreseeable, it was foreseen. The President and his team actively decided against a far more responsible approach to preserving our national security interests and protecting our Afghan partners,” McConnell said. “With that said, it is not too late to prevent the Taliban from overrunning Kabul. The Administration should move quickly to hammer Taliban advances with air strikes, provide critical support to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) defending the capital, and prevent the seemingly imminent fall of the city.”</p>
