Congress should call for an Afghanistan War Commission immediately. It is time for the politicians, contractors, and military officers who planned and executed the war in Afghanistan to face the music. For too long, Congress has neglected its duty to hold the executive branch accountable for the policies it is charged with enforcing.
The American withdrawal from Afghanistan was a debacle. Afghans falling from aircraft, haphazard withdrawal from Kabul and Bagram Air Force Base, and the suicide bombing that killed a dozen Marines, a soldier, and a Navy corpsman—to say nothing of the total implosion of the Afghan National Army—demand a full accounting from those in charge of these operations.
But a review of the retreat from Afghanistan is, ultimately, of only secondary importance. The American people deserve a full recounting of the war itself.
Why did America invade Afghanistan? Why didn’t the Bush Administration take the Taliban’s offer to turn over Osama bin Laden to a third party? Why did American forces stay even when it was obvious Bin Laden had fled after the battle of Tora Bora? Why couldn’t the CIA find Mullah Omar, the leader of the Taliban, in a decade and a half of searching? Why did more than 40 percent of the reconstruction funds spent in Afghanistan simply get laundered into the hands of local warlords and even to the Taliban itself?
Instead of asking why Americans were denied first priority in the evacuation out of Afghanistan, or why America took in tens of thousands of Afghan “refugees” even after the Taliban announced a general amnesty , Congress has gone completely silent. This is unacceptable.
The era of congressional acquiescence to an “invade the world, invite the world” foreign policy needs to end. So, too, does the era of quiet compliance in the face of outright corruption. Our generals can’t win wars, but they never have any difficulty winning seats on corporate boards. According to the Washington Post , the eight generals who commanded American forces in Afghanistan between 2008 and 2018 have gone on to serve on more than 20 corporate boards.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
