Sounds like a bunch of Americans who don't want to be rescued.
Likely Trump voters (aka domestic terrorist) so who cares.

This very much seems like a credible terrorist threat or plot against the airport has been uncovered and may even be eminent.
Sure seems like it. Telling people to stay away from the airport with only a couple days left to evacuate.

Why would they do something to delay our departure, though?
The threat isn't from the Taliban. They want us gone. The threat comes from the ISIS and Al Qaeda elements that are now in Afghanistan.

We can also pretty much confirm that US citizens are still in Kabul. You can't tell US citizens that aren't there to leave the gates. If we still have people in Kabul, we almost certainly have them in other parts of the country.
It sounds like the only people who will be getting out after tomorrow are the ones who will (1) be able to somehow get a message to private security companies like that of ihometiger, and (2) have the financial means to pay for a risky venture like that, and (3) avoid the Taliban in the meantime. Sadly, there will be very few if any in that position, and many will die or face an even worse fate.

American soldiers as hostages.
What else would solidify them beating us?

I understand. I’d think they also want us gone.

To kill them....
I think you underestimate their desire to make a statement against the great infidel US.

ISIS and Al Qaeda want to humiliate us on the world stage. The Taliban has already done so. They have nothing left to prove. Biden has done all their work for them.

And so the US leaves Afghanistan in a hurry because of the credible threat of a terrorist attack against the airport and billing the mission a success for having eliminated the terrorist threat in Afghanistan

Freaking embarrassment.

I've read this whole thread and I'm just now posting for the first time - but this shite right here gets under my skin more than anything.
What an embarrassment and TWO black eyes on the face of America right now.
We couldn't even manage or negotiate our SURRENDER TO TERRORISTS correctly. I don't know how anyone can look at this as anything but a massive failure on numerous levels. Our standing on the world stage has suffered infinitely from this debacle no matter how you slice it, and it happened under Biden only.
What a disgrace.

Further to what @MacaesBruno has been reporting from inside European decision-makers, now you have a former Conservative Party leader - and confirmed Atlanticist - openly saying that Biden's Afghan capitulation has destroyed Allied trust in the US Govt

There's a disconnect between what he [Mr Biden] is telling leaders, and the public, and what's happening. Joe Biden’s betrayal: Allies can never trust this president again

I don't think those in charge know where they shite last much less anything else that is going on.
