Lara Logan @laralogan · 5h Most Americans don’t understand what’s happening in Kabul - been on this all night again w no end. US citizens are fighting through enemy lines to get to the airport. When they show their blue passport to 82nd soldiers at the gate, many are turned away & sent back to the Taliban.
“I’m not being flippant when I say they have probably been instructed to ask those trying to flee how they voted in Nov”.
You are being flippant. That’s a silly thing to say in those circumstances.
I don’t get it
yesterday they said 5K on the flightline waiting for planes. At 39 minutes wheels up or wheels down intervals, at 250 per plane conservative, that’s 20 flights or about 12 hours of grinding. That means almost all of the 5K should be inflight or gone.
So why aren’t they letting citizens in? They still have some of the biometric stuff so stolen passports aren’t going to get thru Qatar double-check.
That is the only one I’m aware of. Part of the old Silk Road.

Fedgov knows exactly who’s left. MIL and GOV keep tabs on everything. The only people left behind are being left behind on purpose.
I don’t believe that the military has access to passport or visa records.
“We need the military coup the left always fantasized about doing to Trump.”
The TOP MEN in the Military have their fingerprints all over this debacle. We don’t need them to take over (and quite frankly they seem incapable of taking over a lemonade stand), we need them to GTFO.
Biden should be turned away from Marine One.
I think these are afghan pretending to be Americans with fake ids or fake blank visas that Kabal US embassy emailed out .
Afghan are notorious crooks and liars .
The Bidenistas have ram thru 115000 afghan invaders .
These invaders are not vetted or vaccinated and no ids .
I believe China has 70 CCP officials on Pfizer’s investment board because Pfizer is the ‘Face’ of Chinese imperialism.
The Pfizer contracts specify that if specific vaccine administration goals are not met, the country signing the contract will grant ownership of specific soveriegn assets, including military bases.
China wanted Afghanistan for it’s “Silk Road Initiative” and, no doubt, wants to take away the CIA’s opium production for itself.
Biden missed his July goal of 70% of the US population vaccinated, and therefore China Joe seems to have given China Baghram airbase, some unknown amount of tax payer dollars, billions in military hardware, and sadly, it looks like China is insistent upon having a certain number of hostages. Joe is working to make that happen, he doesn’t want to ‘lose’ too many hostages already promised to China.
I’d bet something akin to ROE from State on admittance through the gates. This isn’t a military operation per se, but a State Dept operation supported by the Pentagon.
The military mission technically ended when Bagram was abandoned. I bet the commander in-country is taking his/her/its orders from Blinken, so to speak.
Outrageous on many levels.
I’d think if they work with processing Americans thru an airport, then they do. I have worked with the technology. It’s not like you can look people up. There is technology for verification of both military and civilians. No doubt Our embassy has used that terminal and they are verified there when going thru. As well as military verification as it’s a terminal for military.
There are lists. There are people who are on this list or that list, or on none of them. If you aren’t on the right list, you aren’t getting a ride home. If you are on a special list, the Taliban have been tasked to dispose of you.
Afghanistan is/was a criminal drug operation with military protection. Such a thing does not change hands neatly and painlessly.
This is Obama’s doing.....
Where are they to go!
Where are they to go!

Well, that’s funny. But even if they were, they are Americans.
Anyway, I bet dollars to donuts that most of the Americans there are patriotic, conservative to some degree or another, who wanted to serve their country. Even if they are Democrats, does it really matter? I don’t think so.
As some great person (president? Can’t remember) once said, “Politics stops at the border.” I think that’s true. We must stand united.
I would love to hear your perspective. Please see my previous post. :)
“No Jen is right not stranded...
ABANDONED”
________________________________
You are so right. That is what we are doing. As of next Tuesday, they will have been ABANDONED. Something that goes against every fiber of the being of any Marine or soldier or any other member of the military.
We need to reach out to Afghanistan and Iraq vets. I remember shortly after 9/11, we had some sort of gift-giving circle here; the addresses of the military bases were posted and we sent packages of goodies.
It would be nice to begin with the thirteen lost and then, with the Lord’s help, maybe we could reach everyone.
Perhaps magazines, candy, sunglasses, First Aid kit supplies (I say that because I have finally started to assemble one today, lol). I don’t know.
Anyway, I want to visit Tennessee. What are your recommendations about where to go?
Thanks!
Take care, FRiend!

“Our American citizen passport has no value any more ???”
This past year, we decided not to renew our passports and to forget trying to get the real Driver’s license in California.
We stopped going to Mexico during Jan/Feb about a decade ago.
Our last cruise to Mexico about 10 years ago had shore tours/functions cancelled due to potential problems. We were whale watching in a smaller boat off of Cabo. The skipper of that function asked me to inform the other passengers, that we would be meeting our ship out in the harbor and the tour was over.
So we met our ship a few miles out of port with a couple of other smaller tour boats. The ship had lowered an at sea loading dock, so we had the joy of bouncing off and back on the dock while departing the whale watching boat.
As soon as everyone was on board the ship headed north at a very fast rate of speed to get into American waters.
We spent an unplanned night docked in San Diego. The next day we returned to San Francisco. Some people rented cars and drove back to San Francisco.
On 2 previous cruises, a couple of shore excursions had been cancelled.
Canada is now a no go country for Americans. Australia and New Zealand are no goes.
We have friends with time shares in Hawaii for most of September. That is apparently a no go at this time. Passports are not needed, but the governor is the problem.
So we don’t need any stinking passports!
Now some Congressmen are saying similar, Dan Crenshaw & Michael Waltz
