What's a commercial flight from Kabul cost?
No... that is false.
I don't believe in our history, except perhaps Jimmy Carter, would an American President give an order to abandon an occupation with absolutely no plan or preparation to evacuate our folks.
Biden lied, on air, in his first delayed appearance after hiding for 4 days, that they "told people to leave and they didn't want to" we have now a number of interviews of Americans there that, though they were registered with the Embassy, they received no word that the American withdraw was imminent. You have to remember, Biden is the 3rd President that said we were leaving. Obama ran on a platform of leaving Afghanistan, but instead greatly increased the war instead. These folks have been hearing "we're leaving" for YEARS.
The Biden administration did not inform people of an actual withdraw. But he lied and said they did.
Just like he lies when he says "The Taliban is not interfering with evacuations" when we have dozens of global reports showing that is, in fact, absolutely not true.
It's really a matter of whether their employer pays for their return, or not.....no?
The employee doesn't pay for the commercial flight over there, nor the return flight....that's usually on the employer's tab.... I thought?
Americans and their employer's were given final warning in June 2021, that if they planned to return to the USA before the US military's full withdrawal, they needed to do it now!
Regardless, the focus should be solely on getting the Americans home, safely.... not the cost!!!
Actually the focus should be on how thoroughly Biden fucked this up, and is still fucking it up.It's really a matter of whether their employer pays for their return, or not.....no?

EVERYONE knew we were getting out. In fact according to the agreement that Trump signed we were supposed to have gotten out in MayEmployers had no reason to think that the Afghan government would fall under Biden, especially this quickly.
Biden didn't give them any warning either
And back into the forever war we go huh?Actually the focus should be on how thoroughly Biden fucked this up, and is still fucking it up.
Britain and France... FRANCE!!... have military ops behind lines getting their citizens out. Biden has done nothing of the sort.
It is really quite simple... send American troops openly to areas around the Airport and simply tell the Taliban if they touch one hair of anyone wanting to leave, we will bomb the shit out of every location we know of where they are. The Taliban have openly showed video of their new arsenal Biden gave them, video of their camps and headquarters. Demand REAL non interference and back it up.
The Taliban will back away immediately. But we have a weak, non committed fearful old man as President... so not going to happen.
They were given warning in June to leave if they wanted to get out before the military exited.Employers had no reason to think that the Afghan government would fall under Biden, especially this quickly.

If private citizens stayed longer than they should have...THEY caused their own dire situation.
Yea, we'll bail them out but they bear a good deal of the responsibility
Maybe you're that stupid but no one else should have been...especially anyone in Afghanistan dealing with that corrupt nationJust because the US Military was getting out, doesn't equate to the idea that the Terrorists were going to immediately take over, even before we left.
Deflection.And back into the forever war we go huh?
FFS why do you say such blind partisan bullshit?They were given warning in June to leave if they wanted to get out before the military exited.
But, like you said....they probably thought it would be okay with the Afghan government??
In hindsight, I don't know how anyone, could have thought that...civilian or military?
Calm down! What in the heck are you ranting about that had to do with my post...? ...and partisanship?FFS why do you say such blind partisan bullshit?
I see you don't answer the fact that these people have seen 3 Presidents say "we are leaving".
Obama/Biden ran on a platform of leaving Afghanistan, only to exponentially increase our presence.
As did Trump. And now Biden ran on it.
They had no reason, whatsoever, to EVER imagine they would be abandoned like this. NO ONE thought that.
They have heard "we are leaving" for years. These people were doing fantastic work trying to bring Afghanistan out of the dark ages... they were committed to their work. They all knew the day would come they would have to leave, but they never imagined it would happen like this.
They shouldn't wave it. These folks have known this was coming for a year.The Pentagon announced during a press conference on Thursday that they do not have an estimate on the number of Americans currently stranded in Kabul.
While thousands have been fortunate enough to escape the sabotaged city in Afghanistan, the concern with the American public has been how many are left to rescue and what the U.S. is proactively doing to ensure their safety. The Biden administration has been mum on the firm action the Taliban have promised to take against Americans, and with no estimate on citizens present in the capital city, some fear that not all Americans will be rescued.
Though it doesn’t know how many Americans remain in Kabul, the government does know the estimated fee that it will charge each one who is fortunate enough to catch a repatriation flight back home.
According to the DC Examiner‘s Jerry Dunleavy, a statement from the State Department’s Overseas Security Advisory Council claims that each American rescued from Kabul will be charged $2,000 for the United States’ services. The clause reads:

Under pressure, State Dept. scraps plan to bill Kabul evacuees $2K for flights
WASHINGTON — The State Department was forced to scrap a widely excoriated plan to bill US citizens $2,000 or more for their evacuation flights from Kabul.
The hefty price tag drew social media outrage Thursday after it gained public notice.
“In these unique circumstances, we have no intention of seeking any reimbursement from those fleeing Afghanistan,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement provided to The Post.
The cost was publicly posted to a State Department website on Saturday but went largely unnoticed before it was highlighted by Politico’s military-focused newsletter Thursday.
An unnamed State Department spokesman initially stood by the charge, telling Politico that “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.’”

Is this a clear cut case of the INSANITY COMING FROM THE XIDEN REGIME.... EVEN XI HIMSELF, WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME EXPLAINING THIS, if it really was NOT COVERED by the MSM!
Maybe I am assuming you meant what others have said... that people stuck there is their own fault, not Bidens.Calm down! What in the heck are you ranting about that had to do with my post...? ...and partisanship?
Big Guy has got to get his 10%, no matter what!
Joe Biden runs the country like a mafia boss.
Report: Biden Admin Charging Americans Up to $2000 Per Evacuation
The State Department is charging Americans stranded in Afghanistan to be evacuated from Kabul's chief airport, according to a report.www.breitbart.com
President Joe Biden’s State Department is said to be charging Americans stranded in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to be evacuated from Kabul’s chief airport.
Politico reports:
The report comes as global outrage continues over Biden’s botched withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. The administration has been hit with blistering condemnation because of its inability to pin down the exact number or Americans stranded in the war-torn country or guarantee their safety as they attempt to make their way to the airport for evacuation.
