American Citizen Stranded in Afghanistan Speaks to CNN
https://www.barrettsportsmedia.com ^ | Aug 31, 2021 | Eduardo Razo

On Monday’s edition of “Cuomo Primetime,” CNN’s Chris Cuomo interviewed a United States citizen who remains stranded in Afghanistan following the last American soldiers departed from the country.

The American citizen used the name “Sara” during the interview, and she’s a former interpreter for the U.S. military and is seeking to get several families out of Afghanistan.

“I just found out that they left, and I was just silent for a while. And I just went, walked around the rooms, and I saw the young kids are sleeping, and they have no clue what happened this morning, that the last flight is gone and we’re left behind,” Sara said to Cuomo.

“It’s heartbreaking. I just don’t even know what to say to you. Whoever was trying to help me and support me, even they did not tell me that… this was the last flight. So I still had hope that we would leave. If not all of them, at least some kids and some mothers who had disabled kids. I had hope for them.”

Cuomo proceeded by asking what’s her biggest fear as she remains in the country. Sara followed by answering that she’s not only afraid for her life but those she’s helping.

“I went to so many different missions with military, so many different missions in different provinces,” Sara said. “I never had that heartbeat like I have it today, this morning when they told me the Americans left.”

“They left us to whom? To those people who were always wanting to kill us? And now I am by myself here with 37 people. This is my fear that if Americans could not help me when they were on the ground, how will they help me now when no one is here? That’s my question.”

CNN sees the wind shifting, and is looking to get out ahead of the storm so they can shrug and claim, “Wasn’t US.”

Another Cuomo is gonna bite the dust . . . you just know that CNN doesn’t want that kind of truth to get out. After, of course, inventing a tale that the woman wasn’t really in Kabul at all but was a prank caller.

That is only one story out of many thousands. It is so heartbreaking.

I hope Biden and Milley and the rest of them have nightmares every night for the rest of their miserable lives.

There is absolutely no hope for a good outcome...
They are all toast... Discarded by our communist masters...

In those parts of Afghanistan the Taliban first overran recently, the Taliban showed how they treat their prisoners...
Females between 12 and 30 are converted to sex slaves for the troops...
All the rest were lined up and shot...
The menfolk were burned or decapitated...

You can imagine what they have in store for all the Christians and/or Americans left in Afghanistan...

We’ll be seeing this butchery on Taliban TV for the next year or so...

Basically, the American people do not care... They have the pandemic to worry about...

I see it like this. Their ratings are very low. By doing this they are just trying to regain Dem viewers.....be popular. They are reporting news, not fake but they are faking their true colors.

That’s it Sara...

If they wouldnt help you leave when they were there how was it suddenly going to be different and you could now be taken out when THERE WAS NOBODY TO HELP YOU WHEN ALL THE PLANES WERE GONE...

"I hope Biden and Milley and the rest of them have nightmares every night for the rest of their miserable lives."

I don't know how military officers can live with themselves after following these unlawful and immoral orders to leave Americans behind in a denied area. I never heard of anything like this and I spent 2/3s of my adult life in the military. You can imagine how angry, disappointed, disillusioned, and disgusted I am!

Biden & the people around him all seem so sure that they’re going to get these Americans out, it makes me wonder if they made arrangements already with the Qataris and that maybe it will start happening in the next few days.
I hope so, but not betting on it.
The Afghanis are another story....I don’t think they’ll get out without clandestine rescue missions or they escape to a neighboring country.

CNN doesn’t give a crap about this woman. They’ll do the same thing they did when Saddam was in power in Iraq, and turn their head, and ignore the atrocities they have first-hand knowledge of, in order to be able to keep their bureau office open in Kabul. Guaran-f-ing-teed.

I understand. I’m a Vietnam combat vet. You might be a Nam vet yourself.

Yes, this is beyond disgusting and disturbing in so many ways.

CNN did a similar thing in Cuba. The price they paid for keeping a bureau there was to broadcast Fidel's propaganda. A price the seemed to pay with considerable enthusiasm.

Look what I’ve been missing by boycotting TV news. An honored prime time placement for that moron.

Cuomo: “For our purposes may I call you Sara?”

Woman in Afghanistan: “Okay. And I’ll call you Fredo. People all over this country call you that.”
