State Department trying to steal credit for rescue of 4 Americans from Afghanistan, organizer says: 'Total lie' The organizer of a private mission to rescue an American mom, Mariam, and her three children from Afghanistan says the U.S. State Department is now trying to insert itself into the story of her evacuation, despite playing little to no role for much of the rescue effort.

Senior State Department officials on Monday announced that the "U.S. has facilitated the safe departure of four US citizens by overland route from Afghanistan. Embassy staff was present upon their arrival."

But those actually involved in the dangerous rescue operation say the State Department deserves little to no credit for Mariam's escape from Afghanistan. Video

The living creed of the bureaucrat since the time of the Sumerians - do nothing, steal credit, deflect blame.

Joe McCarthy was RIGHT. The State Department is full of vermin.

The word “McCarthyism” should forever be an honorific!

My old employer.... some things never change at State, they will climb over your back with cleats for a promotion, or award they don’t deserve - the higher the rank, the more invested in stealing valor.

Cory Mills and a private team of military veterans, drawing on funding by private donors including the Sentinel Foundation, led the effort to rescue Mariam and her three children from Afghanistan, where they had been left behind by the Biden administration, multiple sources with knowledge of Mariam's evacuation confirmed to Fox News.

Mills and his team worked for weeks to get Mariam's family out of Afghanistan after Republican Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson alerted him to the family's plight.

So the calls for help started with the State Dept, who ignored it or gave bad info, and finally was heard by a congressman that actually did something.

He called a rescue group outside of the government who actually did the hard work.

We can surely give Biden and the State Dept 100% of the credit for Glen Beck’s planes stuck in Kabul.

“the credit belongs to a “team of patriots who worked around the clock for two weeks to get them out, despite the many roadblocks from the State Department.” “

I thought this story about the State Dept getting 4 people out sounded too much like a story I’d heard about a few days earlier.

Now waiting to see if Biden takes credit for it

There are retired spec ops teams inserting into Afghanistan right now to get people out. We know one of them.

Hey State Dept... I thought no-one was being held hostage, and that your new bestest buddies the Tali-whackers over there were going to let anyone leave that wanted to leave. So if no-one is actually being held against their will, why would you, State Dept, need to help "rescue" anyone???

You can't have it both ways.

If Biden is left to talk without explicit, comprehensive notes or a teleprompter he'll claim he was not only involved, he was there. In fact he flew the plane in & out, and "...gosh let me tell you about how that reminds me of my son..."
