We have Americans stranded in countries all the time': Pentagon defends leaving hundreds of citizens in Kabul
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 08/31/2021 6:07:44 PM PDT by algore

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby did a media blitz Tuesday morning to defend the US government's actions in withdrawing from Afghanistan Monday

He said the State Department can handle negotiating for US citizens' return because Americans get 'stranded in countries all the time' and need assistance

He also blamed stranded Americans for waiting until the last minute after the last US jets left the country, despite Biden promising to stay until all were evacuated

Kirby also shrugged off concerns about US weapons left behind in Afghanistan

But he did admit that there is a 'lethality component' to some of what was left

The last US military jet departed Kabul on Monday afternoon eastern time

Blinken said Monday that 100 to 200 Americans who wanted to flee are left

"Americans get 'stranded in countries all the time' and need assistance."

Fact check "TRUE" but mostly because they loose or have their passports stolen..

This guy needs to be pushed out of an airplane over Kabul. (with a parachute and passport of course.)

Perhaps this idiot would like to switch places with one of those Americans stuck in Kabul who doesn’t want to be there

These Leftists could not possibly care less about our fellow Americans they abandoned in Afghanistan. Just like they cared less about our people they abandoned in Libya.
They are Heartless, Godless Leftists who are devoted to their Political Agenda and if innocents are sacrificed to attain their agenda, so be it.

‘lethality component’

Where do they find these people? They are welcome to just keep on talking. Nobody is buying it, despite the media gaslighting.

It’s like this entire administration, from Biden on down, are spouse abusers. They beat you down and then tell you why you’re responsible for the beat down. The angry old man yelling at me on TV this afternoon was doing the same thing.

Stranded in Paris is a little different than in a war zone. For the love of God, what’s wrong with these people???

They are beyond evil, they are demons from the lowest bowels of hell. If Biden checking his watch every time a hero vets coffin was taken off that plane, now we got Pelosi not allowing their names to be read on the house floor...

And my mother and father served in WWII for this? This is nothing more than the set up for the “bigger plan”. We are getting closer to the Tribulation with a capital T and if we as a nation don’t repent and ask God for mercy our country will turn into an also ran.
