Moulton Slams State Department for Only Sending 40 Consular Officers to Afghanistan: ‘That’s Absurd’
‘This is the greatest foreign policy disaster that we’ve seen in a very long time, and they’re sending 40 people to deal with it?’
(via Just the News)
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) on Thursday slammed the State Department for sending only 40 consular officers to Afghanistan as thousands of U.S. citizens and Afghan allies try to flee the country now under Taliban control.
Moulton, a former Marine Corps officer who served in Iraq, said there are 20 consular offices on the ground in Afghanistan and he recently learned the department is doubling that number.
