There are scenes of utter panic and chaos at Kabul's Hamid Karzai international airport as tens of thousands of people try to fly out of the country.
People have been flocking there since last evening in a last desperate effort to escape the Taliban.
There were earlier reports that civilians had been injured on the tarmac as the attempts to flee at times resembled a stampede.
The 6,000 US troops tasked for security duty in Kabul will now instead be sent to secure the entire perimeter of the airport, reports say.
The US Department of State and Department of Defense on Afghanistan have said they are "completing a series of steps to secure the airport... to enable the safe departure of US and allied personnel from Afghanistan via civilian and military flights".

What an absolute clusterf*ck.
60,000+ at the airport. No food. No water. No sanitation. No where to sleep. Shades of the Super Dome at Katrina.
Don’t worry. They’re just the Junior Varsity.
Another Benghazi, but “What difference does it make?”
Will they resort to cannibalism like the MSM reported?
See, see! Trump’s racist and homophobic tweets again!!
Biden paid the ransom money.
The Democrat Party Crime Syndicate will receive a cut of the ransom money provided by US taxpayers.
WHAT THE F*CK

Hopefully, we send our hardened, woke transgender troops there.
The wily Taliban waited until the fearsome Joe Biden went on vacation.
Funny, if it weren’t so sad.
Except those people in New Orleans were told and told to leave way ahead of time.
They poo-pooed the idea.
can we send shep there??
Sounds like a case for those vaunted social workers!
Who is shep?
shephard smith....he wet his pants covering katrina.
Non entity. I haven’t watch Fox News in years. I don’t think in those terms
Ironically, if we all remember, Obama was unavailable during Benghazi. In fact, to this day it has never been disclosed where he was during the attack.
This catastrophe is a direct result of the stolen 2020 election and the astounding success of Marxist ideological indoctrination of the imbeciles who comprise the Democrat Party and others on the American Left.
