With tens of thousands of U.S. nationals, legal residents, their families and untold numbers of Afghans all desperate for a way out of the Taliban's Afghanistan, the U.S. military was forced on Friday to pause its evacuation flights out of Kabul. The suspension, hopefully to be quickly reversed by the opening of a new flight option to a base in Bahrain, was due to the current processing facility in Qatar hitting capacity.

Take them to Mexico, no problemo................
Processing?
When did that start?
They don’t do that in Texas that’s for sure
Obozo Island is looking good—well, except for a gay kiss from Henri....
We need to get every American out, but NO MORE MUSLIM REFUGEES!
Unless they can prove beyond shadow of doubt that they were working for the American military. We should protect them.
I suggest we open a refugee camp and document the daily activities.

Soldiers by the runway at Kabul airport tell me that there are 10,000 people here processed and ready to go… but nowhere to fly them to because Qatar is refusing to accept more Afghans because they’ve reached capacity. “It’s abysmal… someone needs to step up.”
This is insane! Have we no bases in the region that can be used in a pinch? I guess the good news is when flights resume, they will be closer to full.
Can't wait to see how many arrive here that can't speak a word of English.
It sounds like the Pentagon and State Department planning was a touch sub-par....
Surprise, surprise, surprise!
(Virtue signaling usually hides gross incompetence.)
There are thousands of languages around the word—the “interpreters” might be able to speak one of them...

Not one of those 800 Afghans we flew to safety brought an American with them to the airport to help them escape.
Most of them not only did NOT bring an American - they were unvetted.
And they left their wives and children and flew to safety and the US gravy train without them.
Who are they?

Activist Imam Fundraising For Afghan Refugees Spoke With
VA DEMOCRAT GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE TERRY McAULIFFE
Discussed ‘Good Purpose’ Of 9/11, Hosted Holocaust Denier

As refugees from Afghanistan pour into the Fort Lee U.S. military base in Virginia, an imam named Ammar Amonette is leading the fundraising drive for the Afghan refugees. Ammar Amonette, Imam of the Islamic Center of Virginia, is a left-wing activist who has spoken alongside Democrat then-Governor Terry McAuliffe, worked with the state’s Democrat attorney general to push hate crime legislation, held a press conference with Democrat Senator Mark Warner, and protested President Donald Trump’s travel ban on terrorism-rich countries.
In a 2004 interview unearthed by NATIONAL FILE, Amonette discussed the 9/11 attackers, saying, “Terrorism is about symbolic targets. It’s sending a political message. The World Trade Center sounds in Arabic like ‘center for globalization.’ I think they took it literally, and globalism may be a threat. But in Islamic law, even if you have a good purpose or goal, you have to follow the rules.” Amonette previously served as imam of the Colorado Muslim Society which, during his tenure, hosted an event with then-Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine Ekrima Sabry, who has said that it is a “fairytale” that six million Jews died in the Holocaust.
Ammar Amonette’s Islamic Center of Virginia is raising money and supplies for the Afghan refugees at Fort Lee. DiscoveringIslam.org describes Michigan-born Amonette as “an American Islamic scholar who is a convert to Islam. He spent 12 years studying in Saudi Arabia. He initially studied at Umm Al-Qura University in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. He later earned a Masters at the Graduate Institute for Preparation of Imams in Mecca.” Amonette’s efforts to help the migrants was profiled this week by CBS 6 Richmond in which he stated that “It’s going to be a long process and it’s only beginning” and said “a new plane is arriving every day” to take refugees to Fort Lee.

Why not just fly into Bagram? Did they destroy the runways or something that will prevent planes from landing and taking off?
The proof is that Bagram was literally abandoned under the cover of darkness, to which I am sure was a sucker punch to the morale of our rank and file military members.
Methinks this pernicious act has Obama's fingerprints all over it ...
I don’t understand. What are we calling them about?
Someone tell me if I am wrong
.but the Taliban haven’t killed any Americans?
This is a blunder of epic proportions..but the French and the UK taking US citizens out makes it seem like our allies are helping us out.
And at the same time making team biden seem totally inept on the world stage.
Which they are.
Or, worse..heartless?
Who are they? Taliban? Spies? Paki agents?
