Great rescue of a great asset. Glad he and his family are safe now.

A fluffer story to distract from the abysmal horror shows elsewhere.

Nice humanitarian piece, what about the 15000 or so Americans

Actually, he’s an Afghan, so back to 15,000 Americans.

If 1% of the population does NOT want Sharia to be the law of the land (as the Pew poll reported), that’s roughly 380,000 Afghans who still need to be rescued.

True but we need to hear a good story about an Afghan ally saved.
We’re hearing and will hear a lot of bad ones ahead. A lot.

No, that’s 328,000 people who need to shoot one Taliban.

I read yesterday that there was a plan for ‘alternate routes’ to the airport
struck me as a bit odd - say they opened a gate on the military side - the afghanis will all just crowd that gate, too. So I asked myself, self - does that maybe mean the airport might not mean THE airport?
Gotta be a plan B. and C. right? maybe? hopefully?

Anyone else wondering if Deep State certain personnel in Afghanistan so that they could be left there on purpose...

You may be right, I thought the 15,000 was Americans and Afghanis who actually worked and fought beside us. Not the ones who were janitors in the embassy but ones who actually helped

Are we sure current US was responsible. Sounds like British helped some people that were former US employees
This doesnt read like it was a Woke Milley operation

“Not the ones who were janitors in the embassy but ones who actually helped”
That distinction is meaningless to the Taliban.

I wonder if he spoke the truth about what was the real state of the afghan military?

So Americans await a possibly uglier fate while the military rescues foriegn assets. Now we know what the priorities are, after seeing planes packed with Afghans while Americans are told to stay away and finish their paperwork.

Shouldn't these Afghani's be fighting for their country instead of running way from it?
