Press Releases

U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL), Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement on the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.

"When President Biden and Vice President Harris took office they declared ‘America is back' but all we're seeing from the Biden-Harris administration is that America has turned its back on the women and children in Afghanistan.

"Naively and without a plan, President Biden announced that he would withdraw from Afghanistan by September 11th, the 20th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on American soil. Because of President Biden's failure to plan, more troops are heading back into Afghanistan, our embassy is being evacuated, and the Taliban are rapidly advancing across the country.

"The Biden-Harris withdrawal date will be missed – marked with additional troops in Afghanistan and the Taliban moving in on Kabul.
"Mr. President, I ask again: what is your plan?"
