BREAKING NEWS: Up to 1,500 Americans including 24 California school students are STILL stuck in Afghanistan: Blinken blames citizens for not leaving earlier as CIA and US helicopters start conducting missions to get everyone out

Up to 1,500 Americans are still trapped in Afghanistan and the U.S. is still relying on the Taliban to allow safe passage to Kabul airport with just six days before the August 31 deadline, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in a press conference on Wednesday.

Blinken gave an updated on the airlift operation and the bid to get all citizens and Afghan allies out amid reports the CIA has joined US troops in rescue missions outside the airport perimeter.

Among those left are 24 school children from California who visited on a summer trip and haven't been able to leave.

Blinken appeared to blame Americans still on the ground for not leaving fast enough after first being warned earlier this year to leave Afghanistan as soon as possible.

Blinken announced Wednesday that up to 1,500 Americans - 500 who are verified US citizens - are still stuck in Afghanistan

Great minds think alike apparently.

 

[utvolpj]

WTF sends their kid to Afghanistan for a field trip?

Evidently they are...

I'm guessing the ones left behind are republican voters, otherwise uncle Joe would nuke the Taliban to get them out.

I bet their school trip next year is to Taiwan.

If they weren't before, I would imagine they'll vote republican now after this Democrat show

So are they republicans or democrats? You've claimed both in the past 15min

'Biden Isn't Fit For The Role - He's Gone Gaga': Tory MPs Join US Republicans in Condemning President's Afghanistan 'betrayal' as UK Races to get last 2,000 People out in 24 hours - while America BLAMES its citizens for not leaving earlier

Mr Biden sparked fury yesterday by 'point blank' refusing G7 calls to push back the exit date for US forces, with Washington of the belief that an extension would leave troops at too great a risk of attack from the Taliban or Isis.

His decision has angered some Tory MPs who have questioned Mr Biden's 'intellectual fitness' to do the job, with one backbencher labelling the US President 'gaga'.

Where did I say anyone was a democrat?

 

[Weezer]

Not buying it.

 

[evillawyer]

Not buying it.

And I'm not selling anything. Just posting relevant briefing from SoS.

Its not a narrative or carrying water. Legit quesiton: who in their right mind would have stayed there leading up to this? Much less 10k such persons.

Makes you wonder, my guess is they are a combination of support infrastructure for our contractors and spooks, US citizens of Afghan heritage and assets of corporations with interests in the area.

What's even more interesting to me is what these people were told that would make them entertain staying. I believe they unwisely followed the information coming from our president and then it was too late.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Not buying it.

The quotes don’t even pass the common sense test.

Not defending Biden, but why can't these other countries send in troops to take over for ours and secure the airport? Why does it have to be U.S. troops?

BS you’re always selling Democrat stupidity shill.

Who TF sent school children to Afghanistan???

 

[85SugarVol]

I really hate what they did to that show. The writers should have to answer for their crimes.

 

[85SugarVol]

So we are operating under the assumption that there are roughly 1,000 Americans in Afghanistan that have no interest in leaving the country?

Ok.

I still say that any American there at this juncture, and apparently stuck, was not there in an official capacity. At some point, personal responsibility has to be a part of the discussion.

24 kids from California. And they are STILL there after what has been happening for the last 8 weeks?

And we better damn well move mountains to get those kids out because it is unacceptable to hold them responsible for the consequences of lousy decisions made by their dipshit “guardians”.
