Murphy Reacts to Deadly Afghanistan Bombings, Killing U.S. Servicemembers
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) released the following statement after a series of targeted explosions killed numerous U.S. servicemembers and wounded dozens more in Kabul, Afghanistan:
"I want to express my most heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of the U.S. servicemembers who lost their lives in today's attack. This unspeakable tragedy is a reminder of the tremendous sacrifices displayed by our nation's heroes.
Our worst fears are now being realized, as we are witnessing the brutal consequences of President Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. I worry that the violence will only escalate. For reasons beyond comprehension, the Biden Administration continues to trust the Taliban. They and other Islamic terrorist groups, including ISIS-K and Al Qaeda, have sworn death to America – and they must be held accountable for their crimes against the United States.
I join all Americans, and our friends and allies around the world, in praying for the peace and safety of our servicemembers, fellow citizens, trusted allies, and all innocents harmed in this tragic terrorist attack. Despite Biden's capitulation to the Taliban's August 31st withdrawal deadline, the mission is not complete until every American is back on friendly soil."
