Taliban in Kabul as President Flees

Is Susan Rice going to make the rounds on the Sunday talk shows to blame all of this on a youtube video?

Well we would expect no less of a headline such as this from Fox.

Oh wait. My bad.

It takes a heavy dose of reality to get a cnn reporter to step out of the trance state. She is/was getting a heavy dose of it in Kabul. Not much interest in Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo banter there right now.

Retreats require that all things are destroyed that will help the other side...learn from history

The Taliban has reportedly gained access to the government's computer system and is beginning to search for Afghans who helped allied forces or the civil government.

This is shameful... other nations are not doing this to their citizens.

Biden Administration Reportedly Charging American Citizens Thousands For Evacuation Out Of Afghanistan
https://dailycaller.com/2021/08/19/biden-administration-charging-citizens-evacuation-flights-kabul/

President Joe Biden’s administration is reportedly charging American citizens upwards of $2,000 to board evacuation flights out of Afghanistan’s only operational airport.

Those that make their way through armed Taliban checkpoints and into the airport could then be charged upwards of $2,000 from the State Department to board evacuation flights, sources on the ground told Politico. Non-citizens are being charged even higher sums, the outlet reported Thursday.

Politico reported that the State Department did not deny that it was seeking payments from Americans seeking to flee the country following the Taliban’s swift takeover.

“U.S. law requires that evacuation assistance to private U.S. citizens or third country nationals be provided ‘on a reimbursable basis to the maximum extent practicable.’ The situation is extremely fluid, and we are working to overcome obstacles as they arise,” a State Department spokesperson told Politico.

Up to 15,000 American citizens remained in Afghanistan as of Tuesday, NBC News reported.

The American embassy in Kabul announced on Wednesday that it “cannot guarantee safe passage” for Americans traveling to the city’s airport. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday that the military doesn’t have the capability to rescue Americans that can’t make their way to the airport, and the State Department acknowledged Thursday that there have been reports of Taliban forces blocking American citizens from reaching the airfield.

State Department Spokesman Ned Price told the Daily Caller News Foundation following the publication of this story that the Biden administration has “no intention of seeking any reimbursement from those fleeing Afghanistan,” a statement that seemingly contradicts the U.S. Embassy’s alert on Saturday that clearly stated that repatriation flights out of Afghanistan are not free.

Americans who can’t afford a ticket out of Afghanistan can apply for a loan, but if they don’t pay it back their passport won’t be renewed, the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan said in a security alert Saturday.

“Repatriation flights are not free, and passengers will be required to sign a promissory loan agreement and may not be eligible to renew their U.S. passports until the loan is repaid,” the security alert stated. “The cost may be $2,000USD or more per person.”

Air Force C-17 aircraft have evacuated thousands of people out of Afghanistan this week, but many of the flights have been half empty because of chaos in and around the Kabul airport, according to multiple reports.

“While there have been nearly 6,000 evacuations many flights are leaving half empty due to the chaos outside the airport,” tweeted Ian Pannell, an ABC reporter in Afghanistan.

“Although the Americans control the airport, just yards away were scenes of chaos. The Taliban fired their weapons in the air and were beating women and children in the crowds,” Pannell added. “Over a dozen people were reportedly injured in a crush.”

meh, dailycaller gonna call, politico gonna politico. The state department confirms standard operating procedure to charge 2,000 to evacuate people, some begrudged warmongerers decides to blast that through the embassy, to give the administration another black eye. All you need to know is:

State Department Spokesman Ned Price told the Daily Caller News Foundation following the publication of this story that the Biden administration has “no intention of seeking any reimbursement from those fleeing Afghanistan,” a statement that seemingly contradicts the U.S. Embassy’s alert on Saturday that clearly stated that repatriation flights out of Afghanistan are not free.

Some of course will choose to believe that the admin. crab walked the policy and "was definitely super serious about extracting money during an emergency situation until they were called out".

Trump administration sets refugee cap at 15,000, a new historic low
Washington (CNN)The Trump administration has informed Congress it intends to accept only 15,000 refugees this fiscal year, a new historic low for the US.

Since coming into office in 2017, the Trump administration has increasingly slashed the annual refugee cap, which determines how many may enter the US, to deeper lows. President Donald Trump has repeatedly demonized refugees, particularly those from Muslim-majority countries -- most recently at a campaign rally Wednesday evening.
The proposed 2021 cap was denounced by humanitarian organizations and Democratic lawmakers.
In a media note sent less than an hour before the end of fiscal year 2020 on Wednesday, the State Department said it had informed Congress of the proposed cap and said the US "anticipates receiving more than 300,000 new refugees and asylum claims in Fiscal Year 2021." However, the vast majority of those would be asylum cases.
"Of that number, up to 15,000 would be refugees admitted through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and more than 290,000 would be individuals in new asylum cases," the State Department note said.

Questions loom over future of refugee programs after federal judge blocks Trump order

SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Staff inside the International Institute of Minnesota said a judge’s recent decision to prevent local jurisdictions from shutting its doors to refugees is just a temporary sigh of relief.

The judge’s ruling comes amid lawsuits filed by refugee resettlement advocacy groups in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order last year requiring states to provide written consent from local officials before moving forward with refugee resettlement in their areas.

“It adds more confusion around the program and a little bit of uncertainty now about what the next steps are for us,” said Micaela Schuneman, director of refugee services for the International Institute of Minnesota.

The institute is one of only five agencies in the state of Minnesota that works to resettle refugees in the state’s 87 counties.

Retreats require that all things are destroyed that will help the other side...learn from history

The Taliban has reportedly gained access to the government's computer system and is beginning to search for Afghans who helped allied forces or the civil government.

Something that every Private knows who has seen one day of combat. After the firefight you clean up weapons and ammo, leave nothing behind for the enemy. Joe left everything behind but the nuclear codes, and for all we know he emailed them that.

The US already left face recognition technology with its database of Afghans who helped the US. Joe Biden and his ilk sentenced those Afghans to their deaths. And if there are American operatives still in Afghanistan, they will also, be hunted and killed. Even ordinary Americans stranded are at grave risk. Joe Biden left to groveling and begging the Taliban to let the Americans flee.

Our troops are eating a lot of shit for this false narrative because "equipment left behind for the enemy". The truth is that equipment was the ANA's who we trained and equipped to defend their country.
