Eight American senators led by the representative of Illinois from the Democratic Party of the United States TEMMI DAKVORT proposed to create a commission to study political mistakes admitted during the war in Afghanistan. It is reported by resource Military.com.
“I want to truly comprehensively take a look at 20 years of war. I think we are indebted to the American people,” Dakworth said. According to her, the death of US citizens during the Afghan campaign from 2001 to 2021 deserves an independent investigation.
On September 30, the senator openly accused the American government in disabilities to properly support democracy in Afghanistan. In her opinion, a huge amount of cash was wasted on unsuccessful contracting projects. Without a smaller part excised the corruption of Afghan officials. Dakworth said he wants to understand why the United States could not do anything with corruption in the government of Afghanistan.
From the work of the Commission, in case of its creation, the current congressmen and employees of the four previous administrations of the White House will be removed. In the investigation, they will be banned to participate to everyone who accepted or discussed at the official level of decision on Afghanistan.
As an example of possible members of the Commission, Dakworth proposed people who held posts in the Ministry of Defense until September 9, 2001. According to senators, this will make it possible to investigate independent of the political process. The Commission will have to analyze the decisions taken in the Ministry of Defense and other authorities and estimate the effectiveness of the oversight of the Congress.
