KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — As a Taliban offensive encircles the Afghan capital, there’s increasingly only one way out for those fleeing the war, and only one way in for U.S. troops sent to protect American diplomats still on the ground: Kabul’s international airport.
A steady stream of people makes its way first to ticket sale counters set up on the parking lot outside the terminal. They push their luggage, load carts with carpets, television sets and mementos, stuff clothes inside purses to make their weight limit as they slowly inch forward.
The lucky ones, those who managed to get a ticket for a flight out to anywhere, then wait more than three hours to make it inside the terminal, bidding tearful goodbyes to loved ones they are leaving behind.
As the Taliban draw closer, the lines and the panic only grow.
“I packed whatever I could to start a new life away from this war,” said Naweed Azimi, who flew to Istanbul with his wife and five children, fearful the Taliban would kill him for working with NATO as a subcontractor.
Having abandoned Bagram Air Base — which served as the American military’s main hub in Afghanistan — ahead of the final U.S. pullout at the end of the month, the U.S. military will now have to rely on flying people out of the Kabul airport.
“We will be able to move thousands per day but that’s just the airlift capacity,” Kirby said.
There may also be the need to move the operations of the U.S. Embassy to the airport as well, if the Taliban push into Kabul and begin battling for control of the city, though State Department spokesman Ned Price repeatedly declined to discuss that possibility. The Kabul airport also has Turkish troops guarding the facility.

Biden promised there wouldn’t be helicopters...
My son is in the 82nd Airborne out of Ft. Bragg. He and his group were pulled from an assignment in the southwest and told to report to Bragg ASAP. Prayer for the Marines and the 82nd! BTW, Bidet and Obama can do something sexually explicit to themselves. (I hope that Jim Rob doesn’t ban me for that last comment.)

Someone said forget Saigon, this could turn into Blackhawk Down.
US air headed to cover Kabul, reports of B-52s.
First off, biden is illegitimate and everyone including those in the military know it. In my opinion this brings into question if biden can issue any legal order to the military as CINC. Multiple battleground states are conducting audits and the results are going to show we did not have an election but rather a coup. The likelihood that biden/harris will be forced to resign in the near future is significant. Biden does not have the legitimacy to serve as CINC and neither does harris so his fraud of a presidency is in serious trouble.
Our brilliant elites and Generals brought us here. Never forget this. They are the worst group in the history of men.
OMG. Pray.
These are the kinds of events where Trump simply shone!
Without him, these people are going to need lots of prayer.
Amen.
Nation-building doesn't work. But having a base of operation to combat to middle eastern terrorism was advantageous.
And, now, we'll have to go back somewhere and start all over again when Al Qaeda starts orchestrating attacks, using Afghanistan as a based to do so
US air headed to cover Kabul, reports of B-52s.
Brilliant. Trying to hit goat farmers in an urban environment with B-52s. What could go wrong here?
Oh, they will. Just give it time. At the moment they're trying to refrain from reporting this story, because all the heads of the MSM and the White House are, as we speak, communicating with each other via some covert means (the Journo-List scandal taught them they needed tighter security), and are currently arguing over the most believable lie that will put 100% of the blame on Trump and 0% on SloJo.
They know that whatever is decided on for the Official Spin, which they will all simultaneously regurgitate in the next few days, it will certainly stink. They just want to limit how bad the stink is, as they can't help but notice the slowly growing numbers of people here & there who used to be aligned with them but who are showing signs of deserting their Lemming Army after suffering through too many cycles of "Swallow the latest Official Spin; Vomit your guts out; Swallow the next latest Spin; Vomit all over again; ... repeat ad nauseum".
Have we been fighting in Germany for 80 years? No. The goat humpers were just biding their time because they knew we were leaving. We’d have to pay a heavy price in the blood of America’s Best to stay in that dump hole. Not even close to worth it.
“US air headed to cover Kabul, reports of B-52s.”
Are they willing to bomb kabul areas around the airport?
This
The main objective of the people running our govt is not to save lives…it is to not let Biden look bad
Now we’re sending 5,000 troops instead of 3,000. Next week it will be 10,000. Do not doubt me folks.
More likely to bomb the bases where we and the Afghans are abandoning aircraft and weapons…to destroy them rather than let them fall into enemy hands.
Yes, the taliban is an enemy.
By Monday there won’t be anyplace to send them, unless you want them to restart a new hot war
Reports that the tally-ban are flying captured helicopters. Afghan air force pilots? What markings on them?
