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

A scenario: The CIA/Taliban meeting yesterday was to cut a deal:

Taliban will graciously let all Americans out of the country so Biden won't have a Jimmy Carter hostage crisis going into the 2022 midterm elections

Biden will abandon all Afghans allies to their torture and death at the hands of the Taliban (but please no photos thank you).

This would be the same thing he insisted on in 1975 "As a senator, the future vice president, now 76, was adamant that the U.S. had "no obligation, moral or otherwise, to evacuate foreign nationals," dismissing concerns for their safety as the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong swept south toward Saigon in 1975."

The Washington Examiner saw this coming in 2019:

And you gotta give Biden credit for consistency:

Holbrooke, who was the Obama administration's special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan in 2010, asked Biden whether the US had a moral obligation to remain in Afghanistan to protect people like that little girl.

"F--- that, we don't have to worry about that. We did it in Vietnam, Nixon and Kissinger got away with it," Biden replied, according to Holbrooke's diary, as cited by the Atlantic.

biden is sole responsible for this. He gets 100% of the blame.

This was foreseen, and allowed, and therefore intended.

Anytime the US government has a large presence it takes a lot of people. I’m sure many of these Americans are DoD, government contractors etc.

LOL. Yeah, there are about as many Catholic Fatima's as there are Roman Missals in Mecca.

Are we sure about this? The Biden administration stated that no Americans were stranded in Afghanistan and they would never lie. /s

Joe is busy with his pudding right now.
But Kamala is available to cackle at this plea for help.

Folks have no idea how large the contractor community is both in the US and all over the world.

It is in the politicians’ interest to keep quiet about it.

However, abandoning contractors to the clutches of the Taliban may have some very interesting consequences.

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

I knew a Fatima in college who was a Coptic Christian. She was born in Egypt. It’s not impossible.

She thinks Biden has the mental ability to worry about her and the thousands of other Americans locked behind the Taliban? Or that he even cares?

#17: "I knew a Fatima in college who was a Coptic Christian. She was born in Egypt."

Ah, that makes perfect sense. Thanks for pointing that out. The poor Coptics bear the brunt of Islamic hatred and persecution.

I’m guessing you’re not Catholic. Fatima is a pretty common Catholic name. It’s a town in Portugal.
