Several U.S. media reports have estimated somewhere between 10,000 to 40,000 American citizens are still in Afghanistan as of Tuesday.

..... Snip.....

“Most are scrambling to escape. Some are dual nationals or children of Americans who may not have the proper passport or visas, but the State Department has not told them how to fix their paperwork.”

The Daily Mail reported 40,000 Americans are stranded in Afghanistan, while a White House official reported only 700 Americans will be evacuated Tuesday. Monday saw 150 Americans evacuated, a Newsy reporter tweeted:

Sources are saying that the biometric database was left behind. This would allow for the Taliban to identify Americans as well as those who worked with Americans.

Even if they have the proper paperwork they won’t be able to get here unless they are covid tested.

But the media is now saying that the Taliban is nice. They like to play on trampolines, drive bumper cars and now support women’s rights. They’re almost as authentic as the FR fake doctors.

This whole thing is a total catastrophe. Now we know that the Taliban will want black mail money to release the American citizens.

So 640 supposedly on the one plane, yet only 150 Americans were evacuated?

didn’t CornPop say the last day or so, that American’s would not get preference over anyone else?

80,000,000 folks voted for this ineptitude and maleficence.

The Governors, legislators, AGs, SOSs of about 5 states should be very proud of what they allowed to happen. And to think, many of them are about to be flooded with thousands and thousands of illiterate Afghani’s that all have to be taken care of. Gonna be a great time America.

People screaming about all the incompetence need to reflect for a moment
on the competent perfection of all of [their] combined moves against our
nation.

It’s not incompetence

It’s Planned warfare.

Just fly to Mexico and walk across the border. Then BCP will send you anywhere you want to go in a nice bus or plane.

They weren’t aware of the State Department’s new “Remain in Afghanistan” policy.

$40,000 US citizens, eh?
How many were on the US government payroll?
Many charitable/missionary too no doubt.
Commercial/businesses NOT on the military-US State dept budget? Not very many compared, for example, to Saudi Arabia, Quatar, UAE or the like.

Yes he did. I have never had a jaw dropping moment in my life. That miserable bastard did it for me, jaw did drop.

I’m now hearing that the afghans were fighting but couldn’;t get supplies. My gut says they sold the supplies to the Taliban and then joined the Taliban. Muslims are muslims.

It’s beyond comprehension that he or anyone else in this administration would say such a thing.

But they did it anyway.

It is truly beyond human comprehension to grasp why the troop withdrawal was done completely bass-ackwards. The only sensible explanation is that it was done on purpose to cause the catastrophe for Afghanistan, a defeat for the United States, and a victory for Islam.

If the Biden and his administration are truly this stupid, then this nation will not survive another six months. Same if they are that evil.

I don’t buy it. 40,000 Americans in Afghanistan?

How many contractors, NGOs, embassy people could there be? Especially since everyone knew this day was eventually coming.
