    The whitehouse just stated that they cant commit to getting all Americans out of Afghanistan.

    In that case Biden should resign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Why should Biden care about them? He's importing far more compliant "Americans" on the southern border.

    Taliban, if they're smart, will hold them for ransom. But, they might just start mass beheadings.

    I believe the statment was they couldn't guarantee getting Americans out after August 31.

    Just what I thought. She didn't actually say they can't commit to getting all Americans out of Afghanistan like the OP tried to claim. She just didn't answer the question with a direct answer. Something all press secretaries and pretty much everyone else in politics does.

    In other words, she would not commit to getting all Americans out of Afghanistan.

    Yes, she refused to commit. Why? Is that such a hard thing to do?

    Same reason past press secretaries and politicians always refuse to commit to something to the press. Keeps options open. Not saying it’s right. But it’s what they ALL do.

    How many foreigners have they targeted so far?

    Have they done anything to violate the peace accords signed by them and Trump?

    That is what she is paid to do. If she commits to getting every single American out and one chooses to stay then folks like you would be "See. the Press Sec lied, they did not get them all out".

    Lets face it, if she came out tomorrow and said that cancer has been cured you would be attacking her for putting doctors out of a job. Why do you pretend otherwise?

    That's not known. I would think preventing them from getting to the airport isn't a good thing, though.

    Considering they pledged to make peace with the Afghan government, but instead have assassinated members of it and the Afghan forces, I'd say sure, they've broken the agreement.

    Psucki spins and lies. That's what she's paid to do. It must be, since it's all she does. As for Americans that choose to stay, that's easy - we commit to getting all Americans out who want to get out.

    There, not too hard, right?

    Did they?

    Here is a link to the accords that agreement that comes from state.gov....chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/viewer.html?pdfurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.state.gov%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F02%2FAgreement-For-Bringing-Peace-to-Afghanistan-02.29.20.pdf&clen=93491&chunk=true

    I read it and there is nothing about making peace with the Afghan government.

    this is true, you are oddly proud of your blind partisanship.

    But hey, good on you.
