Up to 1,500 Americans are still trapped in Afghanistan and the U.S. is still relying on the Taliban to allow safe passage to Kabul airport with just six days before the August 31 deadline, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in a press conference on Wednesday.
Blinken gave an updated on the airlift operation and the bid to get all citizens and Afghan allies out amid reports the CIA has joined U.S. troops in rescue missions outside the airport perimeter.
Thousands of people are still trying to leave Afghanistan as U.S. troops start leaving and evacuation flights begin to wrap up, but are being stopped and beaten by insurgents on their way.
Among those left are 24 school children from California who visited on a summer trip and haven't been able to leave.
Blinken appeared to blame Americans still on the ground for not leaving fast enough after first being warned earlier this year to leave Afghanistan as soon as possible.

Stay in place order ? When was that lifted ?
“That way they can declare victory”
They’re gonna do that regardless of what happens.
What I did on my summer vacation...
California students? On one hand they could get shot and killed in Oakland, on the other they could get shot and killed in Kabul.
What, no thermite grenades to burn through the engine blocks? Leave the raghead bastards burnt junk.
But don't you dare say they are stranded.
we may never know until the beheading videos are published
Yeah but it is harder if you admit to leaving 8,500 to 13,500 behind.
Now it’s only 1500?
These are Afghan Muslim Cons who are NOT Americans.
Sounds like a online school scam and the Afghan are trying to
get US visas and the family wins the Chain migration lottery .
I am sick of these LYING Afghans and Dem media pr scams .
Michael Yon, interviewed on War Room, made the same comment - no planes flying. Fighters don’t show up, but the big military cargo planes do ... if flying, they should be showing up.
Both Yon & Eric Prince said things are going to get bad quickly. Yon said one thing the Taliban/Isis et all likes to do with someone they want to torture/kill is get their phone, beat the password out of them, then film the torture/rape/killing & send it to all the victim’s contacts in the phone. When these go viral, it will be hard for “the Regime” (Baghdad Bertha aka Peppermint Patty, Pencil Neck Sullivan, et al) to say ‘nothing to see here, move along’.
They are Afghan-Americans visiting relatives over summer break. Genius. Sorry, call me hard-hearted, but I don’t feel much of an obligation to rescue people who are In a situation because they have gone out of their way to act like total jack-wagons.
“..Ridin’ with Biden will leave countless american’s stranded mostly civilians....”
Yep. Without a doubt at this point.
Only the Taliban is “Ridin’ with Biden”. Everyone else has to walk.
“How did it magically go from we don’t know @ 20,000 to 1,500?”
20,000 were evacuated yesterday alone. That is a confirmed number the military gave out today. I always thought the original numbers were inflated.
Who in hell has any authority to remove this moronic blight
From this seat of power?
And why in hell have they not done so!!!!!!!!!!
Wait...WHAT? Who thought sending kids to a war zone was a good idea?
Afghan nationals with dual citizenship. They are not blonde haired blue eyed aryans.
It sure as shit wasn’t 20,000 Americans.
Mostly more inbred savages.
Go to Afghanistan they said. It’s a nice time of year there they said. It will be educational they said. But what they didn’t say is that the education may be a crash course in protecting one’s own @$$.
“The story that high-school students just took a trip to Afghanistan, like they are visiting Disney World, is nonsense. There is a lot more to this than the fake media is reporting.”
Indeed. Yet thousands of morons will fall for this fake news.
