The Latest: Top Republican says Taliban holding Americans
AP via Daily Bulletin ^ | 09-05-21 | Not listed

A worker at the Mazar-e-Sharif airport confirmed several aircraft he believes were chartered by the U.S. are parked at the airport. Taliban have prevented them from leaving, saying they wanted to check the documents of those on board, many of whom do not have passports or visas. The airport official did not want to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject.

McCaul, speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” says the Taliban have made demands. He gave no specifics but said he’s worried “They’re going to demand more and more, whether it be cash or legitimacy as the government of Afghanistan.”

He said the aircraft have been at the airport for “the last couple days.”

It’s interesting that the AP claims that “a Republican Says”, rather than reporting it as news.

Biden is simply occupying the office. Obama and Valerie Jarrett are running the show, and I'm sure that whatever is "negotiated" will be quite lucrative for the Taliban. None of this is accidental.

They want to check to see if the ransom checks have arrived.

I would imagine he knows things we, and the media, can’t given he is on a Committee or two IIRC. Tomorrow should be interesting if the Biden Junta has any briefings.

Americans are Americans... whether they’re someone’s wife, kid or what they eat really doesn’t matter.

So shut your douchehole.

They’re going to be one very well equipped and financed group thanks to U.S. weakness. Lots of money and lots of weapons.

What’s important here is what the Taliban are planning on doing. Of course they have Americans hostage. The Taliban seems to use a mix of false promises of leniency and hands off with street demonstrations of brutal terror and executions to intimidate the people of Kabul. People cave and snitch. And Americans will be captured.

Once Americans are in their control, they can play it so many different ways. They might hold off, and do nothing, keeping details out of the press and off the street. Then hit up Biden for Billions in “Reparations”, or else the video beheadings start.

How much will Biden pay?

These are hard core moslems. And now they are waving the red white and blue trying to guilt out real America into bringing them in.

Back here, they’ll vote in Omar, Tlaib and all other fellow communist moslems.

You've earned the right to be labelled thread-retard. . for taking Biden's position on evacuations and thinking AMERICANS who don't eat ham aren't worthy of life.

Some of these people are not only citizens, but heroes to America. I've met some personally, why do you think so many are risking themselves to get them out?

You don't even realize how dumb you sound.

I don't eat pork chops or sing a Christmas carol either. Are you saying I'm not an American? Do you have to do those things in order to be considered an American? Funny, it's not on my passport.
