California students? On one hand they could get shot and killed in Oakland, on the other they could get shot and killed in Kabul.

Those not already at airport now have little chance of escape, as Taliban stop all Afghan citizens reaching it

But don't you dare say they are stranded.

Yeah but it is harder if you admit to leaving 8,500 to 13,500 behind.

Another Dem media con to try to extend the Afghan muslim savages invasion days aka Dem party voter drive with illiterate Low IQ muslim savages that never assimilate .

These are Afghan Muslim Cons who are NOT Americans.
Sounds like a online school scam and the Afghan are trying to
get US visas and the family wins the Chain migration lottery .

I am sick of these LYING Afghans and Dem media pr scams .

Michael Yon, interviewed on War Room, made the same comment - no planes flying. Fighters don’t show up, but the big military cargo planes do ... if flying, they should be showing up.

Both Yon & Eric Prince said things are going to get bad quickly. Yon said one thing the Taliban/Isis et all likes to do with someone they want to torture/kill is get their phone, beat the password out of them, then film the torture/rape/killing & send it to all the victim’s contacts in the phone. When these go viral, it will be hard for “the Regime” (Baghdad Bertha aka Peppermint Patty, Pencil Neck Sullivan, et al) to say ‘nothing to see here, move along’.

They are Afghan-Americans visiting relatives over summer break. Genius. Sorry, call me hard-hearted, but I don’t feel much of an obligation to rescue people who are In a situation because they have gone out of their way to act like total jack-wagons.

“..Ridin’ with Biden will leave countless american’s stranded mostly civilians....”

Yep. Without a doubt at this point.
Only the Taliban is “Ridin’ with Biden”. Everyone else has to walk.

“How did it magically go from we don’t know @ 20,000 to 1,500?”

20,000 were evacuated yesterday alone. That is a confirmed number the military gave out today. I always thought the original numbers were inflated.

Wait...WHAT? Who thought sending kids to a war zone was a good idea?

Afghan nationals with dual citizenship. They are not blonde haired blue eyed aryans.

BREAKING NEWS: Up to 1,500 Americans including 24 California school students are STILL stuck in Afghanistan

The State Department later issued a statement to correct this, stating that they are not sure how many Americans are still in Afghanistan. It's likely to be a lot more than 1500.

Go to Afghanistan they said. It’s a nice time of year there they said. It will be educational they said. But what they didn’t say is that the education may be a crash course in protecting one’s own @$$.

“The story that high-school students just took a trip to Afghanistan, like they are visiting Disney World, is nonsense. There is a lot more to this than the fake media is reporting.”

Indeed. Yet thousands of morons will fall for this fake news.
