President Biden's PROMOTES Official Who Was IN Charge Of Disastrous Exit From Afghanistan

Jacobson was responsible for the program designed to evacuate Afghan allies during the Taliban's takeover in 2021. However, the program was widely regarded as a failure, leaving thousands of allies stranded under Taliban rule, with many losing their lives.

"The nomination of Tracey Jacobson as the new ambassador to Iraq raises serious concerns, given her involvement in the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal. Jacobson failed to ensure promised visas for thousands of allies, leaving them vulnerable to persecution by the Taliban," stated Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla.

Mills further expressed his apprehension about the potential repercussions of Jacobson's appointment on America's international standing and national security. He voiced fears about the potential for increased Iranian military attacks and political discord in Iraq under her leadership, drawing parallels with the situation in Afghanistan.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that will vote on Jacobson's nomination, has already expressed doubts about her suitability for the role. "Tracey Jacobson played a central role in one of the most unforgivable of those failures, the abandonment of vetted Afghans who had risked their lives for our security, and it will undoubtedly mar and endanger her nomination," Cruz told the Free Press.

Despite the criticism, a State Department spokesman lauded Jacobson's leadership and her role in overseeing the Afghanistan program. "Ambassador Jacobson is proud of the Afghanistan task force she led from mid-July to mid-August 2021, which created streamlined processes from bringing SIV applicants to the United States. As a result of her work and the work of others, we have been able to issue nearly 38,000 SIVs to principal applicants and their eligible family members since January 2021," spokesman Vedant Patel said.

Patel also emphasized the ongoing commitment of the Department to the brave Afghans who stood side-by-side with the United States and the steps taken to improve the SIV program.

President Biden announced Jacobson's nomination last week. The date for the Senate vote on the nomination remains uncertain.
