The neocons won't be happy. They've been screaming about "hostages" the last few days.

Taliban 2.0 can be quite reasonable due to the channels opened originally by President Trump!

What did Biden and Harris promise or give them to gain release of these hostages?

The pallets of cash arrive, some are let go.Many hostages remain. A deal is a deal.Notice the number is 200. Soon Biden cabal propagandists will be claiming that few if any American remain behind.

What good is a foreign policy when the door swings every 4 years? Finishing the wall is going to fix the border? Think again.

I bet these “Americans” are going to be so happy to get back to USA, where they can have a ham sandwich, and start shopping for Christmas.

That's my guess. They don't want to end up like ISIS, burning people alive in cages one day and then getting annihilated the next. They want to be more like IRAN, treated like a legit nation while they brutally oppress their people and fund worldwide terrorism. In their case add "pedal opium worldwide".

these are not the ones from the planes reported over the weekend. This is a Qatar charter flight. The 4 - 6 airplanes (including the ones from The Nazarene Fund) are still grounded - by the State Dept. The passengers were removed from the plane and are now in hiding thanks to the State Dept turning over the passenger manifests to the Taliban.

This also puts the lie to bed about 100 or less Americans left in Afghanistan.

Will the US State Department let them land anywhere? It does no goof to get these people of the ground at Kabul is there is nowhere for them to land. At least, I had understood that is the limitation for not allowing hundreds if not thousands to leave Afghanistan.
