Biden’s Afghanistan Evacuation Failure is haunting Americans to this day. The Pentagon just went on the record admitting there are at least 100 Americans still stranded in Afghanistan.
“There are well over 100 extended family members still in Afghanistan, but it’s not clear how many of them want to leave the country,” NBC News states, citing the officials.
So now, months after we stranded them, the Pentagon is finally planning to make an effort to evacuate the remaining American family members that have been living in a country that is a breeding ground for ISIS and Al Qaeda.
Back in late September, Texas Rep. Michael McCaul (R) sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken in which he stated, “If we abandon the family members of our servicemen and women in Afghanistan, they will certainly be slaughtered by the Taliban.” He wrote:
“The United States’ deadly and chaotic exit from Afghanistan has left a stain on our country for generations. Many Americans have been left behind by the Biden Administration and thousands, if not tens of thousands of our Afghan partners and their families were also abandoned.
Over the last month, I have been contacted by hundreds of Texans who are desperately trying to get friends and family members safely out of the country. While we have been able to help some, many are trapped. There are reports of several hundred of people, including American citizens, who have been waiting over a week for charted flights to take off from Mazar-i-Sharif airport.
That includes the family members of several Texans who currently serve in the military. They have been working night and day to safely evacuate their family members. But their efforts so far have not been successful. These brave men and women have volunteered to risk their lives to protect our country. Yet, now, when they need us the most, the federal government has turned our backs on them. If we abandon the family members of our servicemen and women in Afghanistan, they will certainly be slaughtered by the Taliban.
I am asking for you to provide me with details of how many U.S. service members have family currently trapped in Afghanistan and your agencies are doing to secure their evacuation.”
Biden committed a cardinal sin here, he abandoned Americans in hostile territory and has let them tough it out for the last couple of months, blaming them for not getting out fast enough. This really reflects poorly on us. America is the greatest country in the world, but Biden makes us look weak and incapable of taking care of our own.
