5000 of the 6000 were Afghans? Did I hear that correctly?

John Kirby really just said...
We aren't seeing Americans having trouble getting to the airport outside of those few anecdotes in the media?

Just ask how many Americans have been evacuated?
Ask how many need to be rescued.
See if the numbers add up to Americans are showing up in droves to be evacuated.

In two weeks, the average American won’t care…most don’t right now.

One problem: No one knows the answer to this question. We cannot solve for X.

US made a fricking mess then asked Allies to house these refugees that aren't SIV.
Who the hell are we to ask that?

I always thought the number of Americans in Afghanistan was WAYYYY too damn high.

All of Representative Mike Waltz's Twitter thread:
quote:
It is totally insane that multiple Congressional offices are all hands on deck trying to fight through our own government to help our allies. The bureaucracy and lack of leadership at State is jaw-dropping.
quote:
State is telling people to go to the airport but they face a number of challenges: Taliban checkpoints and the struggle of leaving their houses while the Taliban is on patrol.
quote:
Packing enough food and water in their bags as well as battery packs for their phones because they’re out there for hours on end trying to get to the airport gate.
quote:
Struggling to get through a panicked crowd who are trampling smaller people by shoving them aside to get past them. And Taliban are firing indiscriminately into the crowd playing the “crowd control” card.
quote:
Getting to the gate finally - exhausted and thirsty, phones nearly dead, no more internet bandwidth to communicate over WhatsApp and try to find the gates via google maps (if they can get reception at all), demoralized and shoved around by the crowd.
quote:
Only to present their correct paperwork to Taliban guards and be turned away. Or they face a random gate closure with no heads up on when it’ll open again or why it’s closed.
