Rep. Issa claims dissent cable reveals Biden's role in Afghanistan collapse.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has criticized the Afghanistan dissent cable, which Secretary of State Antony Blinken allowed congressional access to, as "embarrassing" and debunking the Biden administration's narrative that it was caught off guard by the country's swift collapse in 2021. The document, signed by 23 staffers and diplomats, warned about the possibility of a rapid Taliban advance as the U.S. left the country, which President Joe Biden and other top officials downplayed at the time. Issa said his next course of action is trying to get the document declassified so that the families of the 13 U.S. service members who were killed during the chaotic withdrawal can get to the bottom of what happened.
