Only 500 Americans evacuated in the last 48 hours

2 days ago at the Pentagon briefing, they said 2,000 people had been evacuated with 300 of them being Americans. Today they said in the last 24 hours 6,000 people have been flown out with 200 being Americans.
So, in 48 hours we have flown out 8,000 people with 500 being American. That's 6.25% of the evacuee's in the last 48 hours were American
I want to know 2 things:
1) How many Americans got through the wire and onto the airport in the last 24 hours.
2) How many Americans have been evacuated in the last 24 hours.
Give us those numbers before you start talking about how many people total you got out.
If we have to get 5K to 10K of our people out, we aren't doing it very quickly.

A lot of people are about to die and sold into slavery.

Outrageous and beyond unacceptable.

We have to get all those military age Afghan males who would not fight the Taliban to the United States immediately, though.

Where are the stateside friends and relatives of all these people? Shouldn't we be hearing more from them by now?
I would hope if I was stuck there, mine would be reaching out to every outlet they could. It's something sort of odd all around.

I will bet you anything that mush brain has agreed to pay the Taliban billions on that deal that they cut. They are going to sell the store in order to get them out by the 31st.
Ransom payments.
Ransom payments.

By the way, link? That is well beyond my worst case scenario.

I have watched the Pentagon Pressers, that's where I got the numbers.
Here is an article on the presser from 2 days ago.

Of the 2,000 evacuees the Pentagon reports flying out of Afghanistan in the last 24 hours, just 300 were Americans, Kirby later explained, adding "we're very focused on making sure we get as many people out as possible and as fast as possible."

We’re going to find one in a few years in Qatar or UAE, and then she’ll have horror stories where Americans and Europeans raped her and didn’t care that she was captured in Afghanistan. If she can identify them, then immediate bullet to the head.

Probably wise to keep a low profile. The Taliban has tech dudes that watch all things internet/media.
If I was stuck, I would not want my name all over the media giving the Taliban a good chance to find me.

Of all the information flowing out, the daily # of Americans evacuated is the most important one to watch.
That number gives us the best view of how this is all actually going. I wish a reporter would raise this in either the State Department or Pentagon Pressers.
We have 11 days until August 31st. That number of Americans evacuated needs to go up very quickly or we're going to get to the 31st with a lot of people still there. And Biden is going to have to make a decision to go ahead and withdraw, or stay. He better choose to stay.

And they’re hiding it which means it’s abysmal.

In fairness, thousands are probably busy with their roadside beatings and just can’t make it to the airport.

If the number was good, they would be screaming it from the presser podiums.
You can always tell when something isn't going well when they don't talk about it.

Biden is going to say they wanted to stay

Very few. People don't even have the opportunity to make it to the check point to show their passports/documents.

The whole "We'll get everyone out who wants to get out" statement...is wishy-washy political double talk.
If we have 10K people there, I bet there are less than 50 who would want to stay, and they must have a suicide wish because the Taliban will assume any American still there is a CIA agent.
