Earlier this month the first international flight carrying civilians since the Taliban took control of the capital Kabul took off from the main airport while charter flights were reportedly stuck on the ground at Mazar-i-Sharif, a city located some 185 miles north of the capital Kabul.
“We're working around the clock to clear any roadblocks to make sure that charter flights carrying Americans or others to whom we have a special responsibility can depart Afghanistan safely,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told National Public Radio. “Without personnel on the ground, we can't verify the accuracy of manifests, the identities of passengers, flight plans or aviation security protocols.”
I wonder? Could the US still be in negotiations with the Taliban about the “tribute” that is due on those we retrieve? I loath these lying vermin running our government and their “Taliban Allies” /sarcasm.
That didn't seem to bother them with that first plane full of young men
