It Begins: Planes of Americans and Afghan Allies Currently Being Held Hostage by Taliban

Joe Biden is on vacation in Delaware despite the fact that there are an unknown number of Americans still trapped in Afghanistan, not to mention thousands of Afghan allies to whom we had an obligation who were also left.

Biden’s own officials put the number at about 200 people (although they tried to argue it was closer to 100). But 100, 200, or likely far more — he shouldn’t be on vacation. He should be working around the clock to get them out.

Despite the fact that Joe doesn’t seem to care, others do and have been working to try to get folks out. A variety of NGOs, members of Congress, and veterans groups have been doing all they can to help the stranded Americans.

But now there’s word that one effort to rescue people is being stopped by those very guys that the Biden administration described as “helpful” — the Taliban.

CBS Foreign Affairs correspondent Eena Ruffini said that there are multiple flights of hundreds of evacuees, including 19 Americans, trying to get out in Mazar-i-Sharif being held up by the Taliban.

DUH!!  ...told you so!

But my latest theory is that Obama & 'Friends', who purposefully left weapons, ammunitions, vehicles and aircraft to the Taliban have figured this to be another approach to freeing up their frozen assets and/or funds.

Oh I'm sure that many want to stay, who wouldn't want to stay in a medieval culture were if you are a man you might be killed raped and chopped up or burned to death or hung from a helicopter. And if you are a woman , beaten and raped or raped and beaten, sold into marriage and then sold again and if you raise any objection you can look forward to being beaten to death. Just the sort of idyllic place to settle for retirement.

And suddenly we are down to 'around' a hundred Americans left in Afghanistan, wasn't it 'around' five hundred when Biden, Austin and Milley cut and ran like little girls confronted with a snake? Another few days and there won't have been any Americans left behind, I mean who's going to contradict Captain Dementia's Clown Posse, the Taliwhackers?
About that math, I thought there were fifteen thousand Americans there, and we got five thousand out.

Maybe I didn't learn common core math, but by my figuring, that leaves ten thousand unaccounted for.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Not the first time this has been reported ...   9999hair out0000

State Dept blocking private rescue flights from leaving Afghanistan, organizers say: 'Blood is on their hands'

Americans engaged in the rescue of U.S. citizens, SIVs and green card holders left behind by President Biden in Afghanistan are horrified by what they describe as inexplicable delays from the State Department that are preventing evacuation flights from leaving the country.

The State Department's delays are recklessly endangering American lives, three different individuals involved in the private evacuation effort told Fox News.

Rick Clay, who runs the private rescue group PlanB, told Fox News that the State Department is the only thing preventing the flights he's organizing from leaving Afghanistan.

Two other American individuals separately involved in evacuation efforts, whom Fox News is not naming to avoid jeopardizing ongoing rescue efforts, similarly said that the State Department is the sole entity preventing their charter flights from leaving Afghanistan. ...............

‘Disgraceful’: Among those stranded in Afghanistan are employees of US Agency for Global Media

American Military News by Deirdre Shesgreen - USA Today   September 05, 2021

https://americanmilitarynews.com/2021/09/disgraceful-among-those-stranded-in-afghanistan-are-employees-of-us-agency-for-global-media/

Quote
Thousands of Americans and Afghans stranded in Afghanistan are at risk of Taliban retribution, but one group stands out: employees of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, a federal agency funded by Congress that operates Voice of America and other media outlets dedicated to promoting American-style democracy around the world.

Any individual affiliated with a U.S.-based organization — let alone one that promotes American democracy and a free press — is vulnerable to possible reprisals. The Taliban, which now controls Afghanistan, has been openly hostile to Western journalists.

“We are incredibly disappointed that our efforts over the past few weeks to get our colleagues safe passage out of Afghanistan have been unsuccessful,” said acting VOA director Yolanda López. “We have been working day and night, pursuing every available option, only to hit countless obstacles and roadblocks.”

Rep. Michael McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said 500 employees and family members of the agency were left behind.

Saw this pic over in the Pookie's Toons thread (the top part, not the pic of that jackass Biden). It really got to me. All this was so unnecessary. We could have withdrawn in an orderly manner.
