Secret service needs to check the Rose Garden again to make sure he didn't get lost.

“We planned for every contingency. Within 48 hours of fall of Kabul, all embassy personnel was safely evacuated to the airport and evacuation flights were underway.” @WHCommsDir
What you meant to say is that important people in the Embassy ran for their lives and got on planes and left their fellow Americans there to die.

CORRECTION: A @usairforce C-17 Globemaster III safely transported 823 Afghan citizens from Hamid Karzai International Airport Aug. 15, 2021. This is a record for this aircraft.
The initial count of 640 inadvertently included only adults. 183 children were also aboard.

A confidential United Nations assessment is warning that the Taliban are intensifying efforts to hunt down Afghans who worked with American and NATO forces over the past two decades and that the militants have threatened to kill or arrest their family members if the people sought cannot be found.
The sobering report circulating among U.N. officials this week became public Thursday as the Taliban‘s leaders sought to cement their rule by formally announcing the establishment of an “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,” even as they faced persistent pockets of resistance and protests in Kabul and other Afghan cities.

Regarding this post...
Imagine the feelings that the Pilot(s) are feeling. You broke a record and evac 823 people including 183 children.
Yet, you took off with folks hanging on your airplane and at least three have died and they are under investigation.

NATO allies press for more time to fly people out of Kabul
quote:
BRUSSELS: Several NATO countries pressed on Friday (Aug 20) for evacuations from Kabul to continue beyond the current US deadline of Aug 31 because so many people seeking safe passage following the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan are stuck outside the airport.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg described the situation outside Kabul airport as "very dire and difficult". Thousands of foreign nationals and people who may be under threat from the Taliban are desperately trying to get into the airport.

I'm not sure about the guy reporting this:
quote:
The Northern Alliance is claiming of recapturing the strategically important Charikar(capital of Parwan Province),if this news is true then,that is a massive jolt to Taliban as the tunnel near this area is in proximity with massive Bagram Airbase complex and also serves as a link
quote:
b/w City Mazar and Kabul.
And reports are also coming that,the legendary warlord Marshal Abdul Rashid Dostum and @Atamohammadnoor with thier exemplary army will be there for support of HE @AmrullahSaleh2 alliance.
Soul of 'Tiger of Panjshir' is guiding them.
