I disagree with Joe.The card Kitchen debadtes does not have a prerequisite to be played, like "Warsava Pact or Marshal plan must be played before", the condition on kitchen debates is a part of the conditions.
Just like the Che card say that "... If you succeded with the first coup roll, make anotherone.". That doesn't mean that the card isn't deamed played if you cant do the secound If clause. In the same way each part of a card is resolved. There is a difference between a preriquisite for a card and a conditional effect of the card, sure if that effect is the only part of the card then its quite bad if not satisfied, but thats war for you.
Hence I'd say that it gets removed from play, since it is actually played and resolved fully.
