It is confirmed Americans, along with many Afghans that worked for the US have been left in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. The Biden administration has never been able to say how many Americans have been left behind. On Tuesday they estimated it was in the low hundreds.
Joe Biden said, “The bottom line, 90% of Americans in Afghanistan who wanted to leave were able to leave.” And there was no real plan about what to do with the last 10%.
For the last month, the Biden administration has been assuring the press that no American that wants to leave will be left behind. Multiple White House sources have claimed that everyone that wants out is getting out of the country.
On Tuesday Biden was claiming the withdrawal mission was an “extraordinary success.” He bragged that it was one of the “biggest airlifts in history.” Biden says more than 120,000 individuals were airlifted to safety from Kabul. And believes “no nation has ever done anything like it in all of history.”
Chaos in Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan
Even before the evacuation was complete, news of executions of women that we’re driving, or not well covered was leaking out of Afghanistan. The Taliban are killing folk singers, women who dare to break their rules, and anyone that helped the US.
