Well there was an attack in Feb of 93, under clinton... pointing figures gets you nowhere... bottom line this shit should never had happened. We should praise and thank all the ladies and gentlemen who gave the ultimate sacrifice... I'm not a fan of anyone using our military like pawns on a chessboard , while there pockets get filled with taxpayers money.

Pentagon denies, criticizes viral reports falsely alleging US left service dogs in Afghanistan
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON – The Pentagon is disputing claims that it did not evacuate all dogs that worked with the United States during operations in Afghanistan after viral images and reports to the contrary.
In the closing days of America's longest war, conservative activists, politicians and animal lovers raised alarms online that the U.S. was not evacuating its service dogs.
On Tuesday, the Pentagon denied that any dogs that had worked with the U.S. military were left behind in the country while acknowledging that a series of social media posts about nonmilitary evacuation of Kabul pets caused confusion.
"To correct erroneous reports, the US military did not leave any dogs in cages at Hamid Karzai International Airport, to include the reported 'military working dogs,'" said Eric Pahon, a spokesman for the Defense Department.

Who is dumb enough to leave billions of dollars of first rate weaponry behind..
Before leaving Afghanistan, US military disabled over 150 heavy equipments such as aircrafts according to Washington post. Some equipments are obsolete, destroyed or soon unuseable. Afghanistan lacks qualified pilots and maintenance crew. Without continued US contractors support, many equipments cannot be sustained as combat effective for more than a few months.

Only one purpose - to score political points with the trump-cult base by SMEARING the Biden aadmin with *FALSE* information.

HHS Establishes Office of Climate Change and Health Equity
Protecting Americans’ health and well-being has always been at the heart of fighting climate change, and now for the first time, its importance is being elevated at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HHS is establishing the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity (OCCHE) in response to President Biden’s Executive Order Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad. This is the first office of its kind at the national level to address climate change and health equity. The Office’s mission is to protect vulnerable communities who disproportionately bear the brunt of pollution and climate-driven disasters, such as drought and wildfires, at the expense of public health.

Afghanistan central bank has billions in assets parked in US and other countries. Biden administration doesn't plan to release assets any time soon according to Associated press.
Shah Mehrabi, an economics professor at Montgomery College in Maryland and a member of the bank's board since 2002, told Reuters in a telephone interview on Wednesday that Afghanistan faces an "inevitable economic and humanitarian crisis" if its international reserves remain frozen.
"Having no access will choke off the Afghan economy, and directly hurt the Afghan people, with families pushed further into poverty."
