House Armed Services GOP demand Biden plan to prevent terror groups from using Afghanistan as 'safe haven'

Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee demanded President Biden provide Congress with a plan to prevent terror groups from using Afghanistan as a "safe haven" after the Taliban takeover, while criticizing his response to the worsening security and humanitarian situation unfolding. 

The top Republican on the committee, Rep. Mike Rogers, along with his GOP colleagues on the panel, wrote a letter to the president on Tuesday, slamming his strategy with regard to Afghanistan. 

"For months, we have been asking you for a plan on your withdrawal from Afghanistan. You failed to provide us with one and based on the horrific events currently unfolding in Afghanistan, we are confident that we never received your plan because you never had one."

The Republicans said that the crisis unfolding in Afghanistan "could have been avoided if you had done any planning."
