U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL), Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee, released a statement following President Joe Biden's speech on the situation in Afghanistan.

"President Biden's address on Afghanistan once again ignored reality. This catastrophe was completely avoidable had the Biden-Harris administration bothered to produce a plan. There are thousands of Americans in Taliban-controlled territories around the country and the Biden-Harris administration cannot provide an accurate accounting of how many Americans are left. We are seeing heartbreaking video of parents handing off their children to American soldiers as Afghan allies, women, and children fearing for their lives are trying desperately to flee the Taliban. This is the so called 'America is Back' foreign policy of President Biden and Vice President Harris.

"It's time for the Biden-Harris administration to take ownership of their failure and do everything in their power to get every American home safely. It's time for President Biden and Vice President Harris to stop shirking the responsibilities of the offices they occupy.

"I will ask again, President Biden and Vice President Harris: where is your plan for Afghanistan?"
