worst of all, 13 brave americans were killed in the evacuation effort.ee days later the biden administration said it was struck and isis operative. in fact, it killed ten afghan civilians including seven children. and then president biden concluded the withdraw -- the drawdown by doing the unthinkable, he left the americans behind. the men and women who served in uniform, their heroic families and american people deserve answers. how did this avoidable disaster happen? why were americans left behind? president biden's decision to withdraw has expanded the threat of terrorism, and increased the likelihood of an attack on the homeland. the administration is telling the american people that the plan to deal with this -- these threats is something called over the horizon counterterrorism and that we do these types of operations elsewhere in the world. that's misleading at best, and dishonest at worst. there is no plan. we have no reliable partners on the ground. we have no basis nearby. the afghan government is now led by terrorists with long ties to al qaed

now, some of those brave afghans will be coming to make new lives in america. after's -- after's careful screening by our partners, we will temporarily shelter these evacuees in facilities at home. i am proud of the way that our military communities have welcomed them. some of these courageous afghans have fought alongside us. they and their families have more than earned their places in the land of the three -- free and home of the brave. in welcoming these afghans, it is not just about what they have done, it is about who they are. as one mission ends, others must go on. even during our afghan retrograde, this department was racing to help victims of natural disasters at home and abroad, and we still are. we have been driving to and the pandemic. we continue to tackle security challenges from china and russia , iran and north korea. it is our duty to defend his nation. we will not take our eye off the ball. that means relentless counterterrorism efforts against any threat against the american people from anyplace. it means working with our partners to ensure
