Very interesting, it seems that it has some funny business going on here. Two parties want some $ $ from US.

'If one life is lost, the blood is on White House hands': Fury at State Department for 'delaying six flights out of Afghanistan carrying more than 100 US citizens.

• Up to 1,000 people hoping to flee Afghanistan on six chartered flights have been barred from doing so, it was reported Sunday
• They traveled to Mazir-i-Sharif, 260 miles north of Kabul, with satellite images showing six airliners sat on its runway
• There is confusion over what exactly is causing the hold up, with a Republican Representative claiming the passengers were being held hostage by the Taliban
• But others said the US State Department was to blame, for refusing to confirm that it had cleared the flights for take-off, or banning them from landing
• Discussions are also said to be ongoing between the US, Taliban chiefs and Qatari officials, who are set to let the planes land in their country

State Department 'blocking Americans from leaving Afghanistan'

Taliban stop planes of evacuees from leaving but unclear why

At least four planes chartered to evacuate several hundred people seeking to escape the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan have been unable to leave the country for days, officials said Sunday, with conflicting accounts emerging about why the flights weren't able to take off as pressure ramps up...

Still doesn't contain any information to back him up.

Well they aren't "full of Americans". There are a few Americans slated for each one along with others who wish to leave the country. Also they aren't full. The planes are at the airport but they aren't loaded.

 

[Crepitus]

Many other “sources” are reluctant to report on a story that makes their guy and gal look bad.

Are you kidding? They've been hammering President Joe day and night for a couolemofnweeks over this thing.

 

[DrLove]

For the record, reporting this morning indicates that we have absolutely no corroboration on this claim. It's was made strictly to make Biden look bad.

ISIS-K is the Taliban?

The fact they are like AOC and Dems or Green and GOP. However, MSM will not want you to know that.

 

[struth]

ISIS-K is the Taliban?

they let them out if the prison, they let them around the airport…maybe they are just bad at security…but xiden said we could trust them

Trump signed a deal in 2020 with the Taliban to pull all US troops out by 1 May 2021. He was President until Jan 2021 and removed 15,000+ troops. How many American citizens did he pull out? How much equipment did he take from the Afghan Army that was supposed to fight the Taliban?

It is said that success has a thousand fathers, but failure is an orphan. Every US President shares the blame for what happened, you can't put it all on Biden.

Cute try.

Sorry, but face facts, this is a humiliation for America and it is all on President Biden.

 

[Markle]

Actually, I think getting us out of Afghanistan is one thing that Trump got right. Unfortunately for Biden, he was left holding the bag. Trump gets credit for removing US troops and Biden get stuck cleaning up the mess that was left behind. Trump had no exit plan and didn't care after he lost the election.

 

[Markle]

Interesting....so you are saying that the 13 killed during the withdrawal in August aren't heros. How sad.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You have to put words in someone else's mouth so you have something to knockdown. Food for you!

 

[Markle]

"Several hundred"......how do you know what the number is?

Well, if we are to trust President Biden...in one speech he told us we had about 6,000 Americans in Afghanistan. A day or two later he told us that we had gotten out 90% of the Americans.

Do you need help with the arithmetic? That would be 10% of 6,000 = ?

 

[Markle]

"trump had a plan with order and benchmarks"........... Like his plan and benchmarks for replacing Obamacare.

 

[alang1216]

Briefed when? I only heard Trump talk about his 'plan' in July 2021.

• Trump withdrew the majority of our troops, how many civilians were evacuated prior to that?
• Were any weapons taken from the Afghan Army? I so, how were they supposed to fight the Taliban?
• Trump signed an agreement with the Taliban that the Afghan gov't were not a part of.

Well they aren't "full of Americans". There are a few Americans slated for each one along with others who wish to leave the country. Also they aren't full. The planes are at the airport but they aren't loaded.

Your point being? There are only a "few" Americans so screw them? Let them figure their own way out!

yep...sadly, the Taliban is keeping people from getting in the airport...so what planes can get out, aren't full....

the fact they aren't "full" of Americans, doesn't change the fact, that's Xiden's friends in the Taliban are now holding Americans hostage.

This cluster F could have all been avoided...but sadly, Xiden and his dembot cult are running the show.

Worse President in American history

State Department continues to declare it will find a way to bring Americans home, discusses giving Taliban 'financial aid'....

Rep. McCaul says Taliban blocking Americans on 6 planes from leaving Afghanistan

Rep. Mike McCaul, R-Texas, on Sunday blasted President Biden for the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, saying that he has “blood on his hands” for the 13 US service members who were killed in the Kabul airport blast.

Have you noticed how the US seldom attributes of its own well-documented brutality to any of the circumstances it produces?

Afghanistan was deliberately destabilized by US in the late 1970s producing an unwillingness to face the historical fact that America's violent and imperial actions breed their own next generation of "enemies."

Who gets rich from that?

oh yeah how did we do that in the late 70s?

I am not a trump supporter, but you points are softer than Biden's Wang. No enough Viagra can resurrect it. You can do better than that,

Carter and Brzezinski began the process six months before the Soviets invaded Afghanistan:

Operation Cyclone - Wikipedia

Operation Cyclone was the code name for the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) program to arm and finance the Afghan mujahideen in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989, prior to and during the military intervention by the USSR in support of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan."
