This review is for the lawmakers who fund the military operations currently destabilizing the Middle East but provide zero accountability for the Americans caught in the crossfire. As of March 3rd, thousands of U.S. citizens, including my wife and I, are stranded in the UAE with no safe way out, while this committee oversees a State Department that has shuttered its doors and told us to fend for ourselves.
It is shameful that Congress allows the 'Self-Evacuation' policy to stand during a total regional aviation shutdown. We are seeing Italian, German, and Asian citizens being guided to safety by their governments, while U.S. citizens receive automated emails telling them to 'stay away from windows.'
The House Foreign Affairs Committee needs to stop prioritizing bureaucratic 'shelter-in-place' orders and start demanding real logistical extractions for Americans. You cannot be the architect of a conflict and then wash your hands of the citizens stranded by it.
