Breaking: British Para Troops Are Running Vehicle Patrols Through Center of Kabul to Extract Trapped UK Citizens — While Biden Abandons Trapped Americans
GP ^ | August 18, 2021 | Jim Hoft

The US Embassy in Afghanistan under the direction of Joe Biden on Wednesday sent out a second security alert to stranded Americans in Kabul:

“THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT CANNOT ENSURE SAFE PASSAGE TO THE HAMID KARZAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.”

You are on your own.

.... Snip....

Joe Biden and Lloyd Austin have abandoned over 10,000 Americans trapped inside Kabul who are not able to leave their homes.

But not the UK. The British Government is sending Para Troops in vehicles through the center of Kabul to rescue their citizens

This is unfathomable. Biden must resign. When reports of actual American citizens being killed (and it's going to happen) start to come in then he will have no choice.

We could do what the Brits are doing - and better. The choice NOT to get Americans out is intentional.

When Biden wants out, he can click his his heels and say he was just kidding and Trump really did win.

“THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT CANNOT ENSURE SAFE PASSAGE TO THE HAMID KARZAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.”

If that isn't grounds for impeachment -- no, immediate removal -- I don't know what is.

The British Ambassador also stayed behind (not sure if he is still there) to make sure his people at the Embassy got out, and o work on Consular affairs for people. The US Ambassador split ASAP.

This deserves resignation

If he wont it deserves impeachment and removal

Whether anything will happen is a different issue

I am saying what it deserves

I would say he deserves five unprotected minutes with all the families of those he abandoned over there

U.S. DoD said "We have no such capability..."

What he really meant was the HE lacked the WILL!

The UK will double its humanitarian aid to Afghanistan to £286m ($393m) this year, says foreign secretary Dominic Raab.

If the 10,000 Americans are killed by the Taliban, but the media never reports it, did they ever really exist?

The Telegraph out of the UK is reporting a British paratrooper operation. Unfortunately, most of the story is behind a paywall.

The media would rather focus on Afghans killed by the Taliban, or I would even say make up atrocity stories to convince people we need to take in as many Afghani Refugees as possible.

Yes he will have a choice and he will choose to stay until someone throws him out.

In the words of the great one:
Don’t doubt me on this.

This is beyond disgusting that the brits are doing for theirs and we will not. That said though, I’m not sure it is worth our troops risk. They have done their jobs.

Anyone staying in this chit hole watching the taliban take over area after area in rapid succession needs their head examined. They did not choose wisely and there are consequences for that.

I DAMN sure don’t want to see out troops out scouring the city for Afghanis.

What happened all of a sudden to Freepers who are usually hating on Gateway Pundit? Do the doom-and-gloom trolls only get paid to belittle them when it comes to audits and elections?

After Benghazi, what American ambassador would stay behind in any country with a State department lead by Obama administration retreads.

“ When reports of actual American citizens being killed come in”, the entire news media will switch to 24/7 live reports of piles of burning covid bodies visible from space, but always from the next town over

Joseph Stolen just wants to be sure that we know that he is done with Americans and the sooner we all die, the better.
