Back in 2014, the four inmates were swapped for former Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after he deserted his post and was captured by the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/jim-jordan-not-surprising-4-prisoners-obama-exchanged-for-bergdahl-now-in-senior-taliban-posts\">interview<\/a> Wednesday, the Republican congressman said this most recent failure only adds to Joe Biden\u2019s blunders in handling the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. Earlier this month, Jordan called for Biden\u2019s resignation over the U.S. troop withdrawal while suggesting everything Biden touches eventually goes bad.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) issued a dire warning about the situation in Afghanistan. In an interview Wednesday, the Florida lawmaker said the Taliban is quickly becoming a terrorist super-state. He said every time he thinks it can\u2019t get any worse, it does.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">And now we have Siraj Haqqani \u2013 Afghanistan\u2019s most prolific hostage taker \u2013 in charge of which Americans and allies have the \u201cproper documentation\u201d to leave. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lHdZnqzdWb\">https:\/\/t.co\/lHdZnqzdWb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.

The Republican congressman, a veteran himself, also had a message for gold star families, veterans and 9\/11 victims. He wanted to reassure them their sacrifices were not in vain.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/report-trump-to-endorse-attorney-harriet-hageman-in-expected-primary-bid-to-oust-rep-cheney\/\">Report: Trump To Endorse Attorney Harriet Hageman In Expected Primary Bid To Oust Rep.
