Is the State dept blocking private rescue flights from Afghanistan?
By Monica Showalter
Joe Biden touted the U.S.'s chaotic Afghanistan exit as an "extraordinary success" even as pretty much everyone knows got 13 U.S. servicemembers killed and abandoned hundreds of Americans to the Taliban, maybe more, he's not saying.
He wants that story off the front pages now, given that he's busy touting his $3.5 trillion infrastructure spending bill, and assorted COVID measures, when he's not hiding from the public.
And the Americans left behind, despite his claim that "you will not be left behind" are still trying to get out.
So it's pretty strange right now to see the Biden administration reportedly blocking the private rescue flights to get Americans out. This is not Taliban demands for bribes to leave, which has been seen elsewhere, just State department intransigence, refusing to give these rescue aircraft clearance to land in Qatar and other way stations with the passport-holding Americans and the Afghani allies who have helped us.
