Iran Press/ America: Between waves of calls for prayers in response to explosions in Kabul, Afghanistan, that killed four US Marines and 90 Afghans, some Republicans pointed the finger squarely at President Joe Biden and his administration.
They also renewed calls for Biden to extend the Aug 31 deadline to withdraw remaining troops from Afghanistan or to reestablish a military presence at Bagram Air Base, Yahoo News reported.
“Joe Biden has blood on his hands,” said New York Rep Elise Stefanik, the third-ranking Republican in the House. “This horrific national security and humanitarian disaster is solely the result of Joe Biden’s weak and incompetent leadership. He is unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.”
“The responsibility for this tragedy rests squarely on the shoulders of Joe Biden. His incompetence means American blood has been shed,” Indiana Rep Jim Banks, a Navy Reserve veteran who deployed to Afghanistan, said in a statement, adding: “This was avoidable and is unforgivable!”
Georgia Rep Jody Hice called on Biden to “RESIGN NOW” and predicted that a "hostage situation is about to begin".
“This could NOT have been a worse disaster!” Hice tweeted. “Biden Admin has forsaken America!”
Two bomb blasts at Kabul airport last night killed at least 103 people, including 13 US troops and 90 Afghans, Wall Street Journal reported.
