Those Americas were given several warnings weeks ahead. Biden did what he could do under the circumstance. It wasn’t perfect and maybe could’ve been a little better, but it also could’ve been much worse. Because of the Rump’s doings (yes, he deserves much of the blame) the Taliban were able to take control much quicker than anticipated. So, Kelly and your ilk, go ahead and make every attempt to use the situation to smear Biden for your vile political means.
Less than 100 people left, who decided not to leave yet or waited until the last minute. So, SKelley, are you going to go there to get them? How many lives are you willing to sacrifice to get them out. How about yours? Easy to run your pen without putting any skin in the game.
“WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) – The United States has facilitated the departure of at least 36 U.S. citizens and at least 24 lawful permanent residents from Afghanistan since Aug. 31 via charter flights and overland routes, the State Department said on Wednesday.”
Twice as many people were evacuated from Afghanistan than were evacuated from Viet Nam. People were warned many months in advance to get out if they needed to. Our country is still working to get out anyone else who wants to leave.
The longer we stayed only increased the chances more Marines would be killed. If those “left behind” are American citizens they likely will be allowed to leave; they may not be able to leave with their Afghan national second cousins.
Ironically I feel better after seeing this ’toon. The fact that, with everything going on in the world, SKelley picks this nothing burger to dwell on seems like he is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
In February 2020 tRump surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban.
No one left.
As tRump’s surrender date of May 1st approached,
No one left.
Summer came and some Americans actually sent their kids, pre-school through high school to Afghanistan on a student exchange.
No one left.
President Biden extended the exit date to August 31st and abandoned the military airport.
No one left.
The Taliban took territories and cities across Afghanistan.No one left.
As the Taliban approached Kabul,
No one left.
When the Taliban took Kabul in 11 days there was a mad rush to the airport causing chaos. Biden got control of that chaos in 48 hours. When no one thought we could get everyone out, Biden gave the order, our military went to work, and all but under 100 Americans who wanted to leave were flown out, along with some 150,000 Afghans that had supported us by August 31st. Some of those have since changed their minds, and Biden got them out as well. More to come.
Of course, Kelley has consistently and constantly shown great concern for the 600,000+ Americans who died needlessly premature deaths from COVID-19 because of the blatant incompetence of DJT!
Puppet Biden had certainly left Americans behind in Afghanistan, and Marxist Disciple Democrats will find any excuse to justify Puppet Biden’s actions. #TraitorBiden

SKelley wouldn’t care quite so much if he knew that many of the Americans who remained behind were of Afghan, not European, descent.

I presume Kelly is referring to the Afganistan exodus.
He has repeatedly shown that he has nothing against leaving Americans behind in America. (Not even children.)

Biden relied on the goodwill and cooperation of the adversary to get everyone out of Afghanistan. How could anything go wrong with that?

“There HAVE been Americans who want out who have been left behind, so how is that a lie?”
===
The LIE is the implication that Biden did not ‘do the right thing’.
124,000 evacuated in a short period of time — and ample prior warnings — despite the sabotage and obstruction of the Republican Party of Trump.
.
I know, I know. Way too subtle for Trump Disciple analysis skills.

Are those Americans stuck because they waited for Glenn Beck to fly them out?

3000 people died from the actions of terrorists on September 11, 2001.
The 7 day average of covid deaths on September 1, 2021 was 1419.
7 X 1419 = 9, 933
The 7 day average of covid deaths on September 16, 2021 was 1969, with over 3400 deaths that day.
7 X 1969 = 13783
Almost all deaths from covid now are among the those not vaccinated.
So tell me, which group of people has killed more Americans: Al Qaeda or Anti-Vaxxers?
