An American woman identified as Fatima is begging the Biden Administration to help citizens trapped in Afghanistan get home

She pleaded: 'We are in danger. We are in danger Mr. President, please help us'

Fatima, whose children are currently in the United States, is just one of an unknown number of Americans who remain trapped in Afghanistan

She said it is nearly impossible to get to the Kabul airport and that the evacuation process has lacked guidance with 'a lot of miscommunication'

The U.S. ramped up airlifts to evacuate more than 23,000 people in the last 48 hours from Kabul airport However, officials recently revealed it is 'unlikely' that everyone who needs to be rescued would leave the Taliban-run country before Biden's Aug. 31 deadline

I wonder how the people left behind will live. Do they still get paychecks? Do they dare come out of hiding to cash them or buy anything?

Any American left in Afghanistan is doomed to death more than likely...

I’m sure she’s one of the Catholic Fatimas./s

It's true, in this country, I don't think I know any. But it wouldn't be illogical or inappropriate.

When Our Lady appeared in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, she rearranged the Catholic Names encyclopedia a bit, eh?

“The contractor community sticks together and they have a lot of hidden power.”

Think of the potential truckers strike in Australia. There are a lot hidden power centers.

It's sad that we have to rely on the foreign press to read about this, and they'll likely have to rely on the British and French to get the out of there.

This country really has fallen. I pray God hasn't given up on us.

They’re a not insignificant population in Egypt. They’re one of the few places in the world where there’s a modicum of stability between faiths.

Biden

“We, the United States, have surrendered to the Taliban and will give them everything they demand, because that is the only way to prove to the Taliban who is boss!”

Americans to the back of the line.

Terrorists, the real ones, to the front.

Im struggling with the same questions. Mainly, how much should I really care about who is left? Id feel the same if Hollywood slipped into the ocean.

biden’s abandoning the Americans in afghanistan takes the democrat party’s disdain of the American people to a whole new level.

Pretty sure Fatima is a Muslim name, made famous by the Fatima, Portugal, apparitions in 1917. Now Catholics use it too. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Actually, I know of one immigrant from Angola whose daughter’s name is Fatima. She was probably named after the village in Portugal where six Marian apparitions in 1917 are said to have happened.

Fatimah al-Zahra was Muhammad’s daughter.

Are we allowed to ask why “Fatima” is in Afghanistan? With “children” in the US? Big long story with four authors, but left unsaid.

We’re being screwed over so many different ways now that none of this matters.

Shore up your immediate areas.

So the media has finally found a trapped American, an accented woman who calls herself Fatima. She could be in Kansas for all I know. Don’t be manipulated

I remember reading a short story by Kipling of two English women from Afghanistan who turned up in India.

They were English women, left behind in the disastrous British withdrawal in 1842.
Forced to marry Afghan warriors they were now so integrated in their society they later returned to Afghanistan after letting the British know they had been left behind.

Wonder how many will show up in the next 20 or 30 years who were left behind by BIDEN!
