Joe Biden is on holiday in Delaware, and despite an unknown number of Americans are still trapped in Afghanistan, not to mention the thousands of Afghan allies we are obligated to rely on, they also left.
Biden’s own officials put this number About 200 people (Although they tried to argue that it is closer to 100). But 100, 200 or even more-he shouldn’t go on vacation. He should work day and night to drive them out.
Although Joe doesn’t seem to care, others do care and have been trying to get people away. Various non-governmental organizations, members of Congress, and veteran groups have been doing their best to help stranded Americans.
But now there is news that an effort to save people is being blocked by those in the Biden administration. Describe “helpful” -The Taliban.
CBS Foreign Affairs Correspondent Eena Ruffini Said Hundreds of evacuees (including 19 Americans) took multiple flights to try to escape Mazar-i-Sharif, who was stopped by the Taliban.
What’s new: CBS has learned that the Taliban has conducted multiple flights at Mazar-i-Sharif Airport in northern Afghanistan. 1/

An email from the U.S. State Department to members of Congress-and was seen by CBS-admitted that the chartered plane was still on the ground at the Mazar-e-Sharif airstrip and that “if the Taliban agree to take off, it can land in Doha.” 2 /

Ascend, an NGO that teaches young female leadership through sports, told CBS News that they have two planes that have been waiting for six days and are ready to carry between 600 and 1,200 people — including 19 American citizens and two Permanent residents. 4/

“The US airport in Qatar has been on standby, ready to receive, and now it’s starting to pack up,” Executive Director Marina Le Grie told CBS News. “We hope that visibility will increase the pressure to force a resolution. The six days of talks are not encouraging.” 5/

The State Department advises members of Congress to tell groups seeking to evacuate from Mazar-e-Sharif that the United States has no ground personnel at the location and does not control airspace. 6/

Sources from Congress and NGOs say there are at least two field programs and six more approved programs. The obstacle is the Taliban-it controls the airport and prevents people from boarding or taking off.
CBS asks @StateDept Comment..

The critical tweet there: “The Taliban basically held them hostage to get more from the Americans,” a senior Congress source told CBS. You know this happened after what Biden did, and it is now – 19 Americans and hundreds of other Americans were not allowed to leave. Biden is going on vacation again. As anyone expected, this has now completely become a hostage taking.
Rep. Michael McCall also confirmed this story with Chris Wallace in an interview with Fox. McCall said they might try to seize the people in exchange for official recognition of the Taliban government.

But this is where Joe Biden is now leaving us because of his stupidity. Yes, you can definitely see the Biden team admit this and/or let these Americans and Afghans twist in the wind.
