American mom trapped by Taliban describes horrific violence, pleads for Biden to solve evacuation crisis
Fox News ^ | 8/21/2021 | Michael Ruiz , Sara Ballou

An American mom trapped in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan is worried she'll never see her kids again and in hiding with family members and Afghan allies – unable to reach Kabul's U.S.-held airport for a chance at an evacuation, she said Saturday.

"I really have given up hope, given up on the hope of going to the airport," the woman, whose identity is being withheld due to concerns for her safety, told Fox News. "It’s just not possible to make it through all those people."

She said there are as many as 20 Taliban checkpoints between her and the airport – and she’s one of an uncertain number of American citizens trapped behind enemy lines.

Every moment that a car passes by, I feel like they are going to pull in and execute us. I don't know if I'm going to see my children again.

She was whipped by Taliban fighters on one attempt to get through, she said. A man standing near her was shot in the head on another try, leaving his wife and baby in tears. Since then, she's been in hiding.

TALIBAN GOING ‘HOUSE TO HOUSE’ IN AFGHANISTAN ‘HANGING’ PEOPLE WHO WORKED WITH US

"We are devastated," she said. "We're scared for our lives. Every moment that a car passes by, I feel like they are going to pull in and execute us. I don't know if I'm going to see my children again."

She said the situation was dire – even hopeless. She would rather commit suicide than allow the Taliban to capture her. And despite Taliban assurances to the U.S. that Americans would be allowed to pass through the checkpoints surrounding the airport, she said she fears showing her U.S. passport to militants who could be members of other terror groups, including ISIS and al Qaeda.

As far as I’m concerned, the Military should ignore Joseph Stolen, and instead pursue rescue operations independently.

What’s the worst that can happen — get dressed-down by Genital Milley?

How could Biden (rather the people pulling his strings) be so heartless to abandon their fellow Americans to the ruthless Taliban?

This is pure evil.

I would try to dress like a man if possible. Some women can get away with it if they bind their boobs. Heck..i might even try a fake beard by gluing hair on

Were I in Kabul right now I would keep one round for myself.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with that.

Because these are the same heartless, leftist filth who celebrate the murder of babies, the corrupting and mutilating of children and the isolation and torture of 1/6/2021 conservatives arrested on misdemeanor charges

“She would rather commit suicide than allow the Taliban to capture her.”

I’ve heard that AK-47’s are a dime a dozen in Afghanistan. I know that my daughters would go down fighting. (My wife?? Maybe.)

I am torn. Biden screwed this up by pulling our military out before getting the Americans out. OTOH, folks in Kabul had a few weeks to read the writing on the wall while there was still a chance to get out.

Agree. These Americans are, generally speaking, not libs. They are there on their own accord. Biden’s simply taking this opportunity to kill them all. It’s something worthy of Joseph Stalin.

Yes it is, but since Biden and his handlers are evil, how can we expect anything but evil from these skanks? I know it sucks, but that is reality. 🤗

Do not see a worldly solution happening here, so will pray here, as well as on the America Daily Prayer Thread. Thank you.

” . . .In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and according to the authority He gave us in Mt. 16:19, 18:18, and Luke 10:19, we now bind the strongman over all operations and persons in the Taliban, Hamas, and Isis operating in Afghanistan.

We ask You, Father, to loose blindness, confusion, judgement, over and into each and every one of these persons searching out people to kill main, torture, rape and destroy.”.

Salvation for this person and all trapped behind enemy lines, and also for the enemies, that they may turn from death to life through faith in the Son of God, who is God, Christ Jesus.

In whose Name we pray, amen.

They should ask her who she voted for.

Elections have consequences!

I know a woman who has worked for the past 15 years in Kabul for an NGO supporting Afghan women’s rights.

She is a die hard Biden supporter.

I so much want to send her a text saying, “You got what you voted for. HYPOCRITE!”

Good luck with that, Lady. Biden already said Americans won’t be first out. WTH is she doing in that hellhole, anyhow? Weren’t there any flights to Hawaii the day she made travel plans? Sheesh. I thought I Was the Queen Of Bad Decisions.

Led by President Donald J. Trump.

Benghazi was dress rehearsal. This isn’t a failure on Biden’s part; it’s a successful operation. Kill Americans in Shitholistan. Import into the USA thousands of able-bodied Muslim men. Fundamental transformation of America.

Sometimes I watch Joe Cozza on RSBN streaming (via Roku). He had a pretty good show yesterday when he talked about this.
