Re: 1,000's of Americans still stranded

How does that happen?

No clue, it is all sad and these poor parents who are burying their 20 something children is a killer. That one mother who gave it to Biden was just so heartbreaking.

Are you watching his speech? It answers some of your questions.

Nope, pulled up an article from this morning. Let me know what he says (if you can understand).

You can watch it yourself. I am not your cliff notes but Biden specifically answers in a coherent way; questions you have posted on this board.

Haven’t they had since like April to get out? If not earlier?
And the title of the thread isn’t correct. It’s not thousands left. Pentagon stated the estimated # and it’s not that.

1,000's of Americans still stranded
U.S. Central Command leader Marine Corps Gen. Frank McKenzie told reporters during a briefing Monday afternoon in Washington that the Americans who wanted to leave and who were not evacuated number in the "very low hundreds."
Speaking on Monday evening, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the number of Americans remaining is less than 200.
"We believe there are still a small number of Americans, under 200 and likely closer to 100, who remain in Afghanistan and want to leave. We're trying to determine exactly how many," Blinken said.

Coherent? I doubt that.

Exactly what I said. They don't really know. One is too many but if much less than thousands , that is better at least, as long as they are safe.

Pentagon says those were from a Kabul rescue group and not under our care.

Re: 1,000's of Americans still stranded
It was less than 200. The other Americans were hired by private companies that were in charge of getting them in and out as private mercenaries. Of those 200, there are some that did not want to leave. There is a Jewish man who refused to leave. Some did refuse. They were told to leave as of April. At some point you need to say poop or get off of the pot. They knew, Jen Pisaki liter said if any news media knew of anyone stuck, give their number to her and she would personally call to determine what to do for each of those people before we left.

Who cares how many. The fact that he’s proud that he left 10% there is disgusting.
Imagine the other administration was bragging about that?!?!

It is disgusting. How about not watching your watch either. How disrespectful. How about we give these 13 the same attention as George Floyd. These are not even people to this administration. People will STILL not see what a mess we are in with this government. This is what happens when you want to be in control but have NO clue what to do.

Now you know how some of us felt with the last administration. It's great to pick and choose what you care about.

Do you know how Biden's withdrawal plan deviated from Trump's withdrawal plan?
Because I wonder why Trump didn't withdrawal completely and end the war while he was in office? Why was the deadline 3 months in to a new administration? The agreement was signed in 2/2020 and would have been almost a year for full withdrawal. Why leave 2500 troops but release 5000 Taliban prisoner?
Why, if this withdrawal with all out equipment could have been seamless and without error - why didn't Trump do it like he promised in his campaign?

Except that the last administration didn't hastily withdraw from a volatile situation leaving hundreds of Americans and thousands of American allies stranded. Except the last administration didn't hastily make a decision that caused 13 American servicemen/women lives and hundreds of innocent Afghanis lives. The last administration had a president that was able to string together coherent sentences, not lie in front of the press and blatantly throw his administration under the the bus. But, but but...no more mean tweets. GTFOH! It's truly sad how many people defend and make themselves so blinded to the current administration twisting themselves into pretzels trying to justify Biden and his cohorts. The hypocrisy is unbelievable.
