Overnight, 12 US Air Force C-17 cargo jets removed 2,000 people from the region - an average of just 160 people per flight, despite the planes being able to carry 600 people - six fewer aircraft than in the previous 24 hours. Since August 14, the US has only removed 7,000 people in total from the region.
Only 300 of those who flew out were American and officials can't give a breakdown of who else was on the planes or whether or not they had the right paperwork to be there.

This flaming screw up and humiliation continues to be a massive failure by a failed administration.
This news has been out for some time today and I have not seen any such thing posted here.
We are living in the twilight zone as 50 spinators call for more Afghan evacuations.
I’m sure Biden left enough high tech toys around to make those F-18 patrols very, very dangerous. Here comes the full-on fuster cluck.
Reuters has not updated for today. This is yesterday’s news.

It looks like I expected, a cover-up and trickle of news. They are trying to back page this story. Even the Daily Mail has it far down the page way below the most important news of the day, some woman’s butt.
plus overflight of pook-i-stan. It is a very long trip from the south.
Yeah, I’d say it is a full up nine line free fall fluster cluck and will probably get worse if we ever know the truth. It is being suppressed by the press as we write.
Those F-18s had to have permission to fly over somebody’s country to get there.
Who else are we paying?
This stupid son of a bitch Biden.
Might be interesting to post:

Gen. Milley Says ‘There Was Nothing That I or Anyone Else Saw’ in Intel Indicating Afghanistan Would Collapse in 11 Days
But JoeJoe says that they planned for EVERY contingency. A pack of lying SOBs.
So they’re incompetent and need to be fired. OK by me.
That’s the good question for the day.
Absolute fluster cuck. Don’t blame US Troops. Blame the generals and Biden Administration.
Has to be Pakistan.
You're absolutely right. We'll never know how many Biden will leave behind. What won't be missed, thanks to the international media leaking out the truth, is the soon-to-be desperation of our hostages. I suspect they will be looking for ways out of country, perhaps to the north or the east, in Pakistan. We'll never know the true horror that's taking place thanks to our controlled, state media.

After how many days did they let the Taliban alone????
Thanks for posting.
A lot of information in article. abc journalists are not being let through to airport. Pictures and more information at link.
Wow. Phil Mudd. Cnn
None of this woulda happened if we followed my emBASEeee strategee. from my home page
I have been advocating for several years a policy I call ‘embaseees’. Embassy + AirBase —> EmBASEeees. We go into a terrorist country, clear out their taliban equivalent, then withdraw to very large Embassies, perhaps 3 of them. Have them big enough to encompass a military airbase where we can use it for decades on end to conduct anti-terrorism operations. As long as the ‘host’ country aint killing Americans then we let them have self-sovereignty. Kind of like how we operated in the Phillipines for decades. We could even have an intermediate zone that we patrol but it would be autonomous. Let them have their taste of freedom. A referendum every 10 years to see how large the boundaries of the intermediate autonomous zone should be.
