    if Trump is trying to steal credit for the withdrawal already, then you know it went pretty well

    Yes they are behind enemy lines, I am astounded you would be deluded enough to think otherwise given they have already initiated kill lists and beheadings.

    Where does that say the Taliban is letting to get to the airport and fly out? Why is the state department working day and night to try and evacuate Americans?


    Department Press Briefing – August 20, 2021
    First, of course, an update on Afghanistan. As you’ve heard, we have evacuated approximately 13,000 people on U.S. military aircraft since August 14th, and we have relocated more than 18,000 since the end of last month. The U.S. military evacuated 5,700 people in the last 24 hours alone.

    Our diplomats – whether in Kabul, here in Washington, elsewhere around the world – have been working around the clock – and I mean that literally – to coordinate thousands of evacuations; line up partner countries to help with the effort, including transit and resettlement; and lay the groundwork for a diplomatic approach moving forward.

    That’s from two months ago.

    The airport is now open. Commercial flights are coming and going several times per day. The country is open for people to come and go.
    I posted a link showing that Afghanistan is open for Americans to come and go.

    If you can show that is not the case, go ahead.

    So where are THEY? Still waiting for your proof the Taliban has guarantied open access to the airport and exit visa's for all.

    Nearly 200 Americans want to leave Afghanistan, State Department tells Congress
    BY ELLEN MITCHELL - 10/22/21 05:00 PM EDT
    The Biden administration told Congress that more than 300 U.S. citizens are still in Afghanistan, 176 of whom want to leave.
    https://thehill.com/policy/internat...t-to-leave-afghanistan-state-department-tells

    And that's not counting those with green cards and were our allies who want to get out.

    Biden says U.S. will stay in Afghanistan until all Americans who want to leave can do so

    Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe some of these Americans don't want to leave the non-American family members they are there with behind because they do not have the proper paperwork to leave and come with them to the United States?

    You do realize many folks chose to stay for that reason alone, right?

    They took their children into a fail state and war zone.
    And somehow it's the responsible of their government to be this dumb?


    How about that them people are responsible for their own dumb choices?

    Read what I posted, it talks of those who WANT to get out. The government admits it is trying to evacuate.

    Biden has abandoned Americans stuck in a defacto Islamist terror state.

    It was announced in the summer of 2019 that the US would leave Afghanistan in May 2021.
    So it's the fault of dumb and dumber to remain there in October when it all went fubar.

    They were told in the summer of 2019 that the US would leave Afghanistan in May 2021.
    So indeed.. that's when THEY KNEW the US would have nothing to say about their safety at all, but it's up to Afghanistan itself.
    And they did nothing with that.

    Where did I deny what you said? Do you think that there are those that want to get out with a foreign loved one too? Do we tell them tough ****? Only you can vote back but your Afghanistan born loved one can't come?

    The problem is that your boy lost and failed to do what he said he would do.

    So they want to leave, but won’t leave without their Afghan family members. Do you want to allow those Afghans into America?

    Biden said the withdrawal wouldn't look like Saigon and that we wouldn't leave Americans behind.

    It looked exactly like Saigon and he left Americans behind.

    Plus Americans killed.

    exactly and why did they stay to begin with, we read that some refused to leave cause they had family or loved ones there

    they are just going to have to go the diplomatic way now, they missed the bus per their own making, we are not going back to war now

    I think some want the USA back at war, so they feel safer while still staying there

    if they are applying for immigrant visa's, are they really Americans?

    what Biden should do is ask congress to approve all their visa's, then dems draft up a bill and see how many republicans give them citizenship, if republicans refuse, then blame it on republicans

    Visa's to leave......travel visa's to get to the airport and to leave without being taken into custody. You know who they are and that they are still trapped Biden's lie's notwithstanding.

    Prove all those Amreicans wanting to leave are choosing not to leave because of family members.

    The reporting is quite clear as much as you and others are desperate to add qualifiers not stated.

    The US having to try and evacuate them through other means. Now prove that the airport is fully open to ANYONE who wants to leave as you claimed.

    I provided links.

    Your links to America trying to evacuate people are weeks old.

    Obviously the country is not as open as flying out of Germany or Japan. But the airport is open, commercial flights are operating, and I haven’t seen a single story of Americans being prevented from leaving.
