An organizer for chartered flights to evacuate Americans and Afghan allies from the Mazar-i-Sharif airport accused the State Department of holding up the planes — saying “blood will be on the White House’s hands” if any of the people waiting are injured or killed by the Taliban.
Another organizer told Reuters that about 1,000 people, including Americans, are being held in Afghanistan awaiting the State Department to provide clearance for their flights.
An individual involved in chartering private planes to ferry people out of Afghanistan put the onus solely on the State Department for holding up the flights.
“This is zero place to be negotiating with American lives. Those are our people standing on the tarmac and all it takes is a f—ing phone call,” the person told Fox News.
“If one life is lost as a result of this, the blood is on the White House’s hands. The blood is on their hands,” the person who is not being identified by Fox News to avoid jeopardizing the rescue efforts said, adding, “It is not the Taliban that is holding this up – as much as it sickens me to say that – it is the United States government.”
The person suggested that the State Department is embarrassed that private charters are helping Americans escape Afghanistan after the Biden administration left them stranded following the US military withdrawal last week.

We should get American citizens out, but we do not need ONE more muslim.
There is already blood on the White Houses’s hands.
True.
I wonder what kind of secret deal the corrupt US negotiators made with the filthy Taliban as the country was falling.
Must be similar to the pallets of cash Obama Iran deal.
Maybe a promise to not murder all the hostages in the last 5 days before August 31? Until after Joe’s “success” speech.
At this point the planes once in flight should be given a specific flight plan and fighter escort if they alter it in any way well...Don’t think we want a plane full of fuel flying around when at this point we can not verify the passengers or luggage.
Leftists like other people’s blood on them.
Especially American blood.
Probably more than we love leftist’s tears.
New Nuremberg trials on in the future.
It was all up to the corrupt CIA. Without a doubt they promised millions, maybe billions, of dollars and I believe, and God help us if I am right, the promise was to leave behind some Americans (for propoganda purposes). There is no other explanation. Seriously.
That would make sense except the Biden Regime is flying unscreened and unknown Afghanis every day into various locations in the US and then letting them go immediately if they so desire. The same can be said about those crossing the border who are flown and bused throughout the US even if they have tested positive for covid-19.
1. There are hundreds of people on Free Republic who laughingly believe they are Americans Held Hostage.
2. They are all natural born Afghanis.
3. The few that have American passports have never set foot in the US.
Where do you think all those weapons we left behind are heading or have already headed to. Iran of course with Irsael on their minds.
I believe you are right. The kind of deal our State Dept. would agree to. Sadly.
I wonder if this is part of operation pineapple?

“Clay said he has a manifest of 4,500 names of American citizens, green card holders, and Afghans with special immigrant visas wanting to leave Afghanistan.”
The White House disputed claims that more than 1,000 Americans are still in Afghanistan, putting the number “around 100.”
“You have stories of interpreters being taken home to their families and watching, you know, their wives and families being beheaded, executed before they execute the interpreter.”
He also said the Taliban are in a stronger position militarily than they were when they last held power between 1996 and 2001.
“It’s worse because now they’re fully armed with our weapons, our helicopters and pallets of our cash,” he told Wallace.
Any Afghan vet who says his trusted interpreter is still there, deserves help to get him and his wife & kids out

Still another example of Blinken and his State Department kakistocrats giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.
While reading the posted link the following headline caught my eye:
“White House press secretary Jen Psaki reveals why she plans to step down in the near future”
And read the following bold lie....
Quote “I’m so honored to serve this president, and at this moment in history to be a small part of rebuilding trust in government,” Psaki said.
How many Ilhan Nur Said Elmi’s do you want over here?
I’ve read other articles that say the State Dept has given approval and it’s the Taliban not letting the planes leave.
Never blame on incompetence what can better be attributed to treason.
