U.S. Government to Americans Trapped in Afghanistan: We ‘Cannot Guarantee Your Security’
Breitbart ^ | 17 Aug 2021 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 08/17/2021 3:52:33 PM PDT by Hojczyk

The U.S. government sent a notice to Americans trying to escape Afghanistan after a rapid takeover by the Taliban over the weekend, telling them to make their way to the airport in Kabul, but that it could not guarantee their security on the way there.

A congressional aide told CBS News there were no partners left in Afghanistan to safely get the 10- to 15,000 Americans trapped around the country to the capital of Kabul.

Instead, a note went out to American citizens requesting to be evacuated from Afghanistan that said:

To American Citizens,

Thank you for registering your request to be evacuated from Afghanistan. The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan has confirmed that an undefined number of U.S. government-provided flights will begin soon. Please make your way to Hamid Karzai International Airport at this time.

It said in bold and capitalized letters:

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR SECURITTY AS YOU MAKE THIS TRIP.

According to White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday, there are more than 11,000 American citizens trapped in the country. However, this was “self-identifying” Americans only.

A number one job of an American president and government is to protect American Americans wherever they might be, especially if they work for the US government or US government contractors. Abandoning them in Afghanistan should be impeachable treason.

I would think the Taliban wants Americans out alive...as for the Afghans there who want out I say it is probably zero

Some Americans could get killed on the way to the airport...there all kinds of crazies running around

The special Forces got my cousins daughter out of Sudan a few years ago..she was working for an NGO there..

If they go off and leave American citizens trapped in Kabul that’s the last straw. Somebody will need to hang from a light post on Pennsylvania Ave. 😣

These words of failure will be Bidens Waterloo. He's done. Even the Dimocrats recognize this.

This is actually not new. When i lived in China I was told if I got crossways with the PRC there would be nothing they could do.

Final Soviet Withdrawal from Afghanistan - February 15, 1989 - CBS Evening News

How a professional military should execute an orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan.
> 4 minute video from 1989
Soviet Army APCs cross a bridge. The last man across, walking, is the Russian general.

The US Army doesn’t have a bridge, but we did have Bagram Air Base, which, unbelievably, we abandoned with no notice on July 2, leaving us with only an urban air strip in the middle of Kabul.

Considering Khadaffi loyalists got the American’s out of Benghazi, I wouldn’t count on anyone in this administration to get them out.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR SECURITY AS YOU MAKE THIS TRIP.


because we have already used up our guarantees for our heroic Afghan workers being directly resettled in the US at taxpayer expense. Please shelter in place, and when the Jihadis come for you, convert to Islam.

Someone please tell me again, why do we have a military? This was the simplest thing in the world from one aspect: Civilians out first, protected by U.S. military, military then out last. Is that really hard to figure out?

Sure, we know that the Biden regime royally screwed this whole thing up, but if I were commanding forces in Afghanistan during this time and a complete joke of a “president” such as Biden issued such idiotic orders, I would do what was right first and foremost and slow-walk the military withdrawal long enough to protect the civilians trying to flee.

But then again, after witnessing the antics and outright cowardice of many of our military “leaders”, I’m not sure we really have a functioning military anymore.

Poor poor Joe. He was just so boxed in by Trump’s “timeline.” Trump’s timeline. Trump’s timeline. Trump’s fault. Trump’s fault. Trump’s fault.

At least they can rest assured that their survivors will be able to collect a rather substantial settlement seeing as how they are there as government hires.

Heck, the survivors might even get damages once they show negligence on America’s part. It shouldn’t be too hard to do.

Heavenly Father, we come together before You today with praise and worship in our hearts for You are so good and so faithful. We proclaim this day that You are the King of our hearts. Thank You for hearing our prayers.
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
We ask You to please protect our men and women in the military who are in harm’s way in Afghanistan and all those in that country who are suffering under this tyranny.
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Lord, we ask, too, that You make a way for this country to restore voting system integrity. We ask, Lord, that the politicians who are in office illegally be ousted from their positions. Shine a light on all the fraud that has taken place so that there is absolutely no doubt about the cheating and stealing that took place. Bring forth the whistleblowers. Raise up Godly men and women to take hold of their local communities and state offices. Give them courage and protection as they share the truth about the election scam. Help us, Lord. We put all our trust in You. Only You can right this ship.

Father, we cry out to You to restore order to this nation that is rapidly becoming lawless. We pray for You to uncover the truths of Covid. Give us discernment and wisdom.to expose the lies. Help us weather this storm of propaganda and deceit that is flooding our lives.

We need You now more than ever, Lord. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
