Maybe next time you’ll include some critical info in your excerpt, such as the fact that the planes wouldn’t be flying into Afghanistan. :)

And how are they going to get the pilots to show up for work that day? The ones who get the Kabul route and not Albuquerque??

I don’t see how the Taliban could resist taking out an American Airlines plane over Kabul.

How many millions of Afghans do they plan to move?

All of them apparently. They all worked as interpreters.

Where are they going to land?!

Where are they going to get the pilots and crew (many of whom have been sick with covid which is why flights have been cancelled domestically)

Why do WE (as a country) have to pay for Biden’s complete and utter mismanagement of this? This should come directly out of the DNC coffers.

No Afghan refugees here - they had a nation and Biden broke it and they didn’t fight for it. If Biden cares so much then send the military back in and take out the Taliban (should be easy enough now to find them).

The Taliban isn’t letting anyone into the airport. What do they need planes for?


I have been watching the Kabul airport for the past 7 hours and there has been very little activity at the airport. It is 4 in the morning there.

I know we had plans during the Cold War to use civilian passenger jets to ferry troops to Europe if war broke out.

But I don't see how they could have the authority to order civilian aircraft into a combat zone. And who would be dumb enough to do that?

. . . oh, wait.

"Additional military bases in the U.S. also are being designated to provide housing for arriving Afghan evacuees."
