And there are lessons to be learned out of the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan under President Biden.

These people should not be going on the website for the American embassy in Jerusalem saying, you know, I need to get out of here.

the drone capabilities, and they hadn't gotten that.

So there are loose ends here, to say the least.
