The Daily 202: Here are three big Afghanistan numbers Biden isn't sharing
Washington Post ^ | August 24th, 2021 | By Olivier Knox

Posted on 08/24/2021 1:50:24 PM PDT by Mariner

Looking to blunt bipartisan criticism of President Biden’s handling of the evacuation from Afghanistan and soothe public worries, his administration has started sharing numbers from what he has called “an incredible operation.”

They’ve given the number of military flights and types of aircraft, number of flights by American allies and partners, and the total number of people evacuated since the U.S. military started operating out of the airport in Kabul Aug. 14.

The prospect, however remote, that Americans might be left behind in a country run by the Taliban and where al-Qaeda and ISIS operate is a national security and political nightmare.

-snip-

On Monday, the administration told Congress it had evacuated an estimated 4,000 Americans since Aug. 14, according to congressional sources.

Administration officials did not dispute that number, but didn’t confirm it on the record. On Saturday, the Pentagon had placed that figure at 2,500.

A truly damning report by the Washington Post.

This administration is toast.

Abandoning Americans that were encouraged to go there...to a 3rd world death cult.

Biden is a failed President in addition to being a fake President.

At the White House presser she said 57,000 have been evacuated.. I’m calling that bovine fecal material there’s no way they could have went from 4000 up to that latter figure in just 24 hours...

Don’t confused the total bodies with the American citizen totals.

I’m sure their primary focus is how to deal with reports of Americans left behind, how to conceal, delete, discredit, and construe any information that comes out.

I suspect the theory about Biden 'owing' China the military base in Afghanistan is correct. It may have something to do with China Biden's 'vaccine' contract with PFizer.

With Afghanistan, China's plans for dominion go forward, geographically unobstructed.

Could explain Biden's desparation to get 70% by July etc. He missed his deadline?

Could explain why PFizer abruptly licensed by FDA.

Could explain alot -  deal made by Biden in June 2020 per rumor?
Leaving all those weapons behind - more 'payment' for China's Pfizer contract with Biden?

The big number that Biden is not sharing is just how much money Biden is paying the Taliban to keep them from attacking.

Or how many Hunter Biden paintings were purchased to get Biden to abandon all that equipment.

The 57,000, if it is accurate at all, must include all the Afghanis evacuated, not just American citizens. They were evacuating something like 8 times as many Afghan nationals as US citizens.

Yes but he has been a Senator since 1973. Stabbing allies in the back his whole career. He’s a real son of a bitch and that is an understatement

excerpt from WAPO article.
Biden took a similarly realpolitik view of Southeast Asia.

“I may be the most immoral son of a gun in this room,” Biden said at a Democratic caucus in early 1975 as he argued against aid to Cambodia, according to the Wilmington Morning News. “I’m getting sick and tired of hearing about morality, our moral obligation. There’s a point where you are incapable of meeting moral obligations that exist worldwide.”

I think he dodged the draft,
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22did+biden+dodge+the+draft%3F%22&t=hy&va=g&ia=web

just like:
Trump —> Deferments
Obama —> Forged registration card
Bush jr. —> Fortunate Son’d into Air National Guard
Clinton —> Acknowledged overseas avoidance tactic

With so many draft dodgers and even Reagan against the draft, you’d think the one useless department that would be cut from the fedguv would be the Selective Service, but noooooo.

Just about anything coming out of this admin is a lie.

The 57,000 is probably everyone taken out (including by our former allies).

They won't give a breakdown of our figures because that will show (a) they are pathetically small; and (b) the vast majority are Afghans, not Americans.

Since His Fraudulency won't allow the US military to operate outside the airport, how many Americans do you think feel safe enough to get there?

Unless the Taliban make a big show of hostage taking, many of those left behind will be quietly ransomed, murdered, or slowly trickle out through Uzbekistan or elsewhere.

The MSM will stay quiet, and the whole debacle will never have happened. It will be hailed as a great success.
