re: Fury at State Dept. for delaying 6 Afghanistan flights of U.S. citizens

The DailyMail is an unreliable British tabloid- on a par with Gateway Pundit.

This story is shite. They cite the NY Times and the cited article contradicts the claim being made by the DM.

From the Times article:

According to documents reviewed by The New York Times, the U.S. military approved three flights to take about 1,000 evacuees, including dozens of American citizens, to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

Qatar has also provided diplomatic clearance for the flights to land, but the Taliban must first allow the planes to depart Mazar-i-Sharif.

“If and when the Taliban agrees to take off, we are tracking that the landing sites will be prepared to accept the expected flights,” the State Department said in an email to congressional officials.
