Are You Kidding Me?! The Biden Admin Is Patting Themselves On The Back For...
This is like bragging about barely passing a class. The Biden Admin is now claiming that they have almost evacuated all of the Americans out of Afghanistan, it only took them four months to get most Americans out...
"Nearly four months after the Taliban reconquered Afghanistan from the Western-backed government, the State Department said Monday that it knows of fewer than a dozen US citizens who wish to leave the war-torn country.
In a statement, the department said it had “directly assisted” 479 Americans and 450 green card holders — as well as their immediate families — in leaving Afghanistan and relocating to the US since the official end of the chaotic American military evacuation on Aug. 31.
Officials said those Americans who wish to leave Afghanistan “are prepared to depart, and have the necessary travel documents.”
The State Department also said it had been able to relocate more than 2,200 Afghan allies — many of whom are holders of, or applicants for, special immigrant visas (SIVs).
The State Department statement did not say how many Afghan allies who wish to leave remain in the country."
The less than a dozen number is only counting the Americans that were able to contact the State Department.
Sens. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.), Josh Hawley (R., Mo.), and Rick Scott (R., Fla.) sent a letter Thursday to the Department of Homeland Security outraged "It is beyond unacceptable that several months after President Biden's disastrous and deadly withdrawal we still do not have a full account of all the Americans who are still trapped in Afghanistan or a full account of the Afghans who were evacuated to the U.S.."
This is pathetic. We should have been able to get every American out back in August, but instead, we evacuated thousands of Afghani refugees, stranding hundreds of Americans in the process. But that's how backward this Administration is. No one should be patting them on the back for this. They should feel ashamed for failing to such a degree in the first place.
