Security Alert: Repatriation Assistance for U.S. Citizens – August 14, 2021
US Embassy in Afghanistan ^ | August 14, 2021

Posted on 08/15/2021 6:26:29 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan has received reports that international commercial flights are still operating from Kabul, but seats may not be available. The U.S. Embassy is exploring options for U.S. citizens who want to depart and who have not been able to find a seat on commercial flights. This notice is to solicit information from U.S. citizens who may wish to utilize such a options. If you have an existing flight booked, do not cancel that booking.

The Embassy cannot guarantee how many or if charter flights will be available and continues to urge all U.S. citizens in Afghanistan to take advantage of commercial flight options while they are still available as airports could experience unexpected closures with little to no warning.

“The U.S. Embassy is exploring options for U.S. citizens” -— Kind of late. Though to be fair, the USA has a long history of ignoring the safety of US citizens.

Think there’s any regret yet after leaving those Manpads behind for the Taliban to play with?

Wait until a commercial liner full of Americans evacuees gets blown out of the sky at takeoff.

“Abdul, Abdul! Quickly, press the button! Alahu Akbar!”

Dittos. How many of these chartered carriers will be blown out of the air during or just after takeoff before the US State Department gets the message “You are all going to DIE!”

Bloodlust becomes all-consuming.

Biden has agreed to pay the ransom.

Obama paid the ransom at Benghazi.

The Democrats understand payoffs.

Good planning by the Biden regime and his State Department.

Leaving military helicopter and vehicles. to help the enemy capture the country quickly .

Pure Treason .

JUST IN - Afghanistan’s president Ghani is relinquishing power. Interim “government” led by the Taliban to be formed.

Taliban commander Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar to become president of Afghanistan.

It’s over. Now get our people out. He doesn’t have 72 hours. 24 at most.

They had no orders to do so. (If you want to blame someone start at Biden then SecDef and so on !)

In the mad mad world of DOD bureaucracy (actually any bureaucracy !) if someone took on the initiative of destroying that equipment. A government bean counter would try to charge them with destroying government property without authorization. Initiative these days is usually punished not rewarded !

In BureacratWorld only rules matter rational reasoning does not !

Maybe Xiden can borrow a few of the military planes they are using to spread illegal aliens around the country and use them to save American citizens trying to escape Taliban-land.

I remember Biden saying something about helicoptering people off of the Embassy roof. I’m pretty sure I did.

I am blaming the Obama Commie Black Secd of Defense .
He is focused on getting rid of whitey in the military and
Gop hate and appeasing China .

The guy may be a Muslim plant after watching Chinook helicopters being left behind on purpose .

Sigh.

They are not “US citizens” they are embassy personnel. Same as in Benghazi

The State Department has a long history of ignoring its staff’s safety.

The enemy could have easily killed the 100 CIA employees at Benghazi, but suddenly, they stopped and let them fly out.

I guess they stopped out of the goodness of their hearts.

Obama paid the ransom.

You’re comparing the two?

The ambassador was murdered. Three contractors were killed, some wounded.

Obama did not do anything about them

Then he apologized to Libya blaming America
