General McKenzie: Here's What/Who to Blame for the Suicide Bombing at Abbey Gate

Testifying in front of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Tuesday afternoon, former U.S. Central Command Commander General Kenneth McKenzie claimed a policy directive, not defensive decisions made by the Department of Defense or military on the ground, led to the suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members in August 2021.

U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Tyler Vargas-Andrews, a sniper, testified last year that he asked for authorization to take out the suicide bomber and was denied. 

The Biden administration maintains that the catastrophic and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was a "success" and the "greatest airlift in history." President Joe Biden has said he was no regrets about the way things happened. Biden also denies rejecting advice given to him by Generals to keep a small force of U.S. troops in the country.

The families of the fallen have been ignored by the White House. Gold Star father Steve Nikoui was arrested and charged after shouting out "Remember Abbey Gate" during Biden's State of the Union address on Capitol Hill.
