State Dept: We know of 363 American citizens still abandoned in Afghanistan

Those 2500 troops would be 2500 targets. What is it that these people don`t get?

Yet none got killed till Biden screwed the pooch.

Did they happen to say, what in the world was on these people little minds, 6 months ago when Joe said we were getting out?

Exactly. They had their chance. Stick with your korans .

What Biden has wrought, what they're currently admitting to.

And how sad that the MSM has no interest in this.

​

Say, wasn’t that number “around 100” two months ago? Even as late as Monday’s press briefing, State Department spokesperson Ned Price gave a range that was considerably lower than what State communicated yesterday to members of Congress:​

​

Bear in mind that the 363 citizens are separate from those already exfiltrated. That puts the original estimates of “around 100” off by 400%. Even the number of those who “want to leave” but remain stuck don’t add up to State’s initial estimates. Note too that State is still not being clear about how many LPRs are still stuck in Afghanistan, even while they take credit for exfiltrating 131 LPRs … likely accomplished by others anyway.​

​

Price obfuscated both points in Monday’s briefing:​

Even the “wants to leave” claim is an obfuscation. The Americans who aren’t ready to leave are mostly those being held back by their relatives’ non-visa status with the State Department. They won’t leave family members behind, but the State Department is making it sound as though they are staying by choice. It’s absurd, and it’s a disgrace.​

​

So what is the real number of Americans — citizens and LPRs — abandoned by Biden to the Taliban? We’ll probably never know the real number, but it’s clearly in the thousands, and perhaps even higher than that when you count their families. Perhaps the media might want to start asking those questions before they end up missing altogether.​

Why don't you and the other Trump Humpers go over there and rescue them.

 

[Anathema]

How many of those people are US Citizens, US Government employees, and were sent there for their job by the US Government?…

I’m guessing NONE; which is the exact number that the US Government has any responsibility to try to get out of Afghanistan.
