Where are All the Americans Returning Home from Afghanistan?
American Thinker.com ^ | September 10, 2021 | Brian C. Joondeph

resident Joe Biden and his team of military, intelligence, and diplomatic advisors oversaw America’s most epic surrender, on the world stage, under the lights and cameras of international media recording it for posterity, spinning the news to mitigate American failure.

One of many failures was the abrupt departure of American military and security forces, necessary to evacuate thousands of Americans and Afghan allies who placed themselves and their families at great risk by helping the Great Satan against the Taliban, the latter being the new boss, replacing the old boss.

How many Americans were left behind? Official government numbers are all over the map. The military, tasked with evacuating stranded Americans, was vague on the exact number.

--snip--

Regardless of the exact number, it is safe to assume that there are many thousands of Americans, perhaps tens of thousands, still in Afghanistan, no longer protected by American soldiers or contractors, instead at the whims of a fickle and hostile bunch of militant Taliban.

How many have made it back to America? Where are the interviews of returning Americans, telling their stories to Oprah or Ellen, or any of myriad cable news anchors and hosts? Where are the feel-good stories in People Magazine?

What about Oval Office or Rose Garden photos of grateful rescued Americans, posing alongside Biden with their relieved families? Remember President Obama with Bo Bergdhal and family in the Rose Garden? What the Washington Post described as a “sickening spectacle,” showing off a prisoner swap, Bergdahl for five Gitmo terrorists, four of whom are now senior Taliban leaders. Great trade, but Obama wanted the show. Yet no similar Biden show for rescued Americans?

I’ve seen a couple of people greeted at airports or interviewed while they were waiting in a 2nd country to be transported here. But there should be many more.

They are being debriefed at a secret location by Kamala Harris.

Been wondering this from the start.
Very odd.

Reminds me of the phrase WAG THE DOG (or something like that) - Maybe there are not as many as they say - just more BS from the biden administration. Scary that no media have broadcast any interviews.

Makes one want to look up the word COLLUSION to see what it means.

I wonder if the Afghans evac’ed paid a bribe to get on the plane.

Also, we haven’t heard about wholesale slaughter of Americans still on country. That’s a good thing, but probably means the Tolly-Bon are holding our for more prisoners being released.

What I don’t get is that in this age of exacting technology, where passports are scanned as we leave and enter each country, why isn’t there an exact count of who is abroad and where? Including Afghanistan.
What am I missing? Especially as they want to keep track of each and every vaccination.

COVID daily death numbers from every city in America they can count, Afghan evacuees they can’t. Hey maybe they should declare it a national health emergency and get the cdc to conjure up some fake deaths.
