WALLACE: No, no, no, sir, sir, wait, wait. No, what I’m asking is, since we left the country on Friday, how many Americans have gotten out of Afghanistan?
MCCAUL: I understand. Zero. And, in fact, we have six airplanes at Mazar Sharif Airport, six airplanes with American citizens on them as I speak, also with these interpreters, and the Taliban is holding them hostage for demands right now. They — we — the state has cleared these flights and the Taliban will not let them leave the airport. So, I’m sorry, the answer to your question is zero. And that’s my concern is they’re going to demand more and more, whether it be cash or legitimacy as the government of Afghanistan.
WALLACE: Let me pick up on this because I didn’t know this. You’re saying that there are Americans on airplanes ready to fly out of Afghanistan right now and they’re not being allowed out because Taliban is making demands? What demands are the Taliban making?
MCCAUL: Well, they are not — they are not clearing the airplanes to depart. They’ve sat at the airport for the last couple of days, these planes, and they’re not allowed to leave. We know the reason why is because the Taliban want something in exchange. This is really, Chris, turning into a hostage situation where they’re not going to allow American citizens to leave until they get full recognition from the United States of America.
My concern is that Zalmay Khalilzad or special envoy who’s met with the Taliban, they’re in talks right now and I think — I — I worry his recommendation to the administration will be to recognize the Taliban as the official government of the United States, a Taliban organization that is a terrorist organization.

Americans?
Yeah sure, the kind of “Americans” who won’t eat a pork chop or sing a Christmas carol (if you know what I mean).
Here comes the pallets of money and bye bye biden..
25 “California high school kids” caught while visiting Kabul Disney?
Here comes the pallets of money and bye bye Biden.. ......................... Nope the Media will proclaim that Biden was far greater than George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. You can count on it. The pallets of money?? They are nothing more than pieces of paper, its the pallets of gold that would bother me. Don’t think for a moment that its the paper money. They go Biden by the nuts and they are enjoying the squeeze.
There are thousands of students and children there in the same predicament that will start to unfold, I think, in the coming days and weeks,” Miyashiro told The Sacramento Bee in an interview Wednesday night. “Our story was first because we knew them. We knew they were there and raised attention to it.
Why does our side have to be as weasely as the dems? Wallace asked him straight out what are the taliban demanding and he didn’t answer.
uh..Wallace is a weasel. Read Sundance’s take on this interview. (The Conservative Treehouse)

No argument from me about Wallace. He’s his father’s son. I’m just going by what I read in the excerpt. My opinion is that if you make a claim that states they’re holding hostages and making ransom demands and someone asks you what the demands are, you should be able to back it up.
I’ll check Sundance out later. Thanks
Anyone who would “visit” war torn Afghanistan right before its predictable capitulation, are not your father’s kind of Americans.

Islamics have been taking hostages ever since Mohamed started out on his Jihads. They love taking hostages with all the drama and the hoopla. And the payments made to get them released.
McCaul isn’t a participant in the negotiations, so why did Cris ask the question. Wallace is such an ass!
