Cruz Predicts ‘We Will See American Blood Spilled’ Because of Biden’s ‘Mistakes’ During Afghanistan Withdrawal

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is predicting that “foolish mistakes” made during the withdrawal from Afghanistan will lead to the deaths of Americans in the future.

In an op-ed published on Fox News on Thursday, Cruz wrote, “In the past month, we’ve witnessed President 👤Joe Biden and his top officials preside over the worst foreign policy catastrophe in a generation.”

“Americans across the nation are horrified, and our servicemen and women are angry, disillusioned, and frustrated. Our allies are dispirited, and our enemies across the globe are emboldened, which makes the world more dangerous today for America,” he continued.

He added, “Ever since the disaster began unfolding in Afghanistan, we’ve seen the Biden administration display ideological extremism and manifest incompetence, and dodge their responsibility to give the American people answers as to why they failed so catastrophically in Afghanistan.”

Cruz went on to say that is “exactly what happened” when Secretary of State Antony Blinken testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee earlier this week.

The senator also shared what he said were four “utterly indefensible” decisions made related to the withdrawal. The first was the decision to leave the Bagram Airfield.

The second he said was the “decision to leave hundreds and possibly thousands of Americans behind Taliban lines, and tens of thousands of Afghans who assisted the U.S. military.”

“Number three, the Biden administration left behind billions of dollars of American military equipment the Taliban will now use to threaten American lives,” Cruz added.
