House Using Shaky Russian Bounty Story To Keep U.S. Troops in Afghanistan - The American Conservative

preview

The House Armed Services Committee voted Wednesday night to put roadblocks onbombshell published by The New York Times Friday that alleges Russia paid&nbsp;dollar bounties to the Taliban in Afghanistan&nbsp;to kill U.S troops., the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) amendment was approved 45-11.The Crow amendment would&nbsp;block funding if the U.S. draws down below 8,000 troops and again below 4,000 troops “unless the administration certifies that doing so would not compromise the U.S. counterterrorism mission in Afghanistan, not increase risk for U.S. personnel there, be done in consultation with allies, and is in the best interest of the United States,” reports The Hill. “It would also require an analysis on the effects of a drawdown on the threat from the Taliban, the status of human and civil rights, an inclusive Afghan peace process, the capacity of Afghan forces and the effect of malign actors on Afghan sovereignty.”Rep.

Trump is said to be eager to deliver on his campaign promise and further draw down the U.S. presence after the 19-year war in Afghanistan.“A great nation does not force the next generation to fight their wars, and that’s what we’ve done in Afghanistan,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fl.) “I think the best day to have not had the war in Afghanistan was when we started it, and the next best day is tomorrow.&nbsp;I don’t think there’s ever a bad day to end the war in Afghanistan. Our generation is weary of this and tired of this.”Crow’s amendment adds several layers of policy goals to the U.S. mission in Afghanistan, which has already stretched on for 19 years and cost over a trillion dollars. As made clear in th, and were haphazardly added after the defeat of al Qaeda. With no clear vision for what achieving these fuzzy goals would look like, the mission stretches on indefinitely, an unarticulated victory unachievable.&nbsp;Become a Member today for a growing stake in the conservative movement.Join here!Florida governor's speech at NatCon3 shows that common-sense populism is where the GOP must standDemocrats should not be allowed to bury recent history so easily.Our cities are still littered with relics of pandemic tyranny, and the effects of such reminders will be lasting.
