Today, Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA), President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and a senior member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, released the following statement regarding the ongoing situation in Afghanistan.
"What we are witnessing in Afghanistan is deeply concerning. As I said in May, the situation has an eerie resemblance to the end of the Vietnam war. The Biden administration must use all possible means to ensure diplomatic and military personnel, as well as Afghan allies, especially our brave interpreters, are evacuated safely." |
