If this could only be won diplomatically then there is no other conclusion than the withdrawal was a complete and total loss.

the President disregarded that--ignored that.

If you fail to plan you plan to fail.

I do not think there is any doubt that Russia at this hour is a global pariah whose brutal war against Ukraine has killed hundreds of thousands of people.

There's no force in the world that have executed such a chaotic and difficult mission better than our U.S. and coalition forces did under the direst of circumstances.

This Administration said time and time again that Afghanistan was not a war that could be won militarily.

I hope that we can continue that tradition in pursuit of a relationship that is based on mutual respect for democracy, human rights, economic prosperity, and regional security.

The President's withdrawal was a complete and utter catastrophe.

I will not rest until we get that.

I'm glad that President Petro has committed to fully implementing this agreement and the United States as Colombia's ally should support these efforts.

I will hold people accountable and we will on this committee ensure that something like this never, ever happens again in the United States of America.
