Sen. Blackburn argues situation in Afghanistan 'could have been avoided'
Fox News
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., argued on Sunday that the situation in Afghanistan “could have been avoided,” saying that the plan former President Trump and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had in place was “the right way” to handle the region.
"We know that the sacrifice there [in Afghanistan] has given us a period where we were not hearing about ISIS attacks and beheadings on the news every night," she said. "The steps that Secretary Pompeo and President Trump made were able to send the message, ‘If you cross us, there is a price to pay,’" Blackburn continued. "But Joe Biden is weak and they [the Taliban is] are not fearing him."More Related News
