The better question is how to get the Americans in hiding all over Kabul past the Taliban checkpoints and to the airport without becoming hostages or strung up on a street corner.
Haven't you heard? The Taliban has agreed to allow safe passage
quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Taliban have agreed to allow “safe passage” from Afghanistan for civilians hoping to join a U.S.-directed airlift from the capital, President Joe Biden’s national security adviser said Tuesday, although a timetable for completing the evacuation of Americans, Afghan allies and possibly other civilians has yet to be worked out with the country’s new rulers. Watch the news briefing in the video player above. Jake Sullivan acknowledged reports that some civilians were encountering resistance — “being turned away or pushed back or even beaten” — as they tried to reach the Kabul international airport. He said “very large numbers” were reaching the airport and the problem of others was being taken up with the Taliban, whose stunningly swift takeover of the country on Sunday plunged the U.S. evacuation effort into chaos, confusion and violence.
Can you imagine...Hi, we're from the Taliban and we're here to help.
