a deal with the taliban to take troops out, or president biden, who set the date for removal. anyone who since the last few months were a failure. but everything before that was great. clearly hasn't been paying attention because of the date, certain rather than a conditions based withdrawal. because of a decision that was made by our president. because of that, we left the american citizens behind there. so what went wrong this year and didn't produce any real answers, but the military admitted here something did we help build the state, mr. chairman, but we could not for donation the fact that the afghan army that we in our partner strain simply melted away in many cases without firing a shot, took us all by surprise and it would be just honest a claim. otherwise, the pentagon is conducting its own review of its action, but some sen say that's not enough. they're calling for the creation of an independent commission that can look at what went wrong, not just at the end,
