Several hundred American decisions are yet to decide whether to leave Afghanistan, the State Department said on Friday - despite the deadline for U.S. military withdrawal being only four days away.

Ned Price, the State Department spokesman, said that some people were changing their minds every time they were asked, as they agonized over their decision.

He said that since August 14 – the day before Kabul fell to the Taliban – at least 5,100 American citizens have been evacuated, including 300 in the previous 24 hours.

'There are approximately 500 American citizens we are currently working with who want to leave and with whom we are communicating directly to facilitate their evacuations,' Price said.

The only ones who aren’t sure if they want to leave may have American passports, but they are Afghans.

And here is the cover up. “They didn’t want to leave.”

With today’s social media, the truth will be known.

I suspect after 20 yrs Americans married Afghanistans so they likely would not want to leave their families there.

Further I’m not convinced the Biden administration doesn’t want a certain number of Americans remaining there. Things are never what this administration would have us believe.

500 American citizens ....... so, are they Afghani’s that were able to finagle citizenship or a green card over the last 2 decades and still have family there?

BS.

The Biden Administration is putting in place their excuse for why countless Americans have been abandoned. “They wanted to stay!”

Don’t believe this for a minute.

This coming from the woke pentagon.....hogwash! Believe nothing that comes out of cheating Jo’s administration and liberal generals and the mediapukes. Sure...That’s why we have hundreds of thousands of refugees being flown out because they love the Taliban and want to stay there. This is insanity!!

Let me translate this article for you, there are a bunch of Americans that want to get out but think our state department’s instructions on how to get out are suicidal

Biden is now blaming the Americans there, claiming they don’t want to leave. They said so yesterday too.

I don’t buy that for a minute.

I’ll bet most of these are pajama-clad dual citizens who have never set foot in the U.S.

What? Tape an American flag to your window, get in your car with your family and drive the the airport. The nice guards will escort you to your plane.
