FEARING THE WORST: The crowds of desperate Afghans remain outside the gate at the Kabul airport, even as the United States and European allies warn their citizens to stay away in the face of a credible threat of an imminent terrorist attack from the Afghanistan branch of ISIS.
The ominous security threat is reportedly forcing the U.S. to end its military airlift days early with hundreds of Americans still in Kabul, and according to CNN , while 150 Americans are trying to get to the airport today, where all gates are closed.
And then there is this little jewel from the Blinken Idiot from the article:
“Let me be crystal clear about this, there is no deadline on our work to help any remaining American citizens who decide they want to do so along with the many Afghans who have stood by us over these many years and want to leave and have been unable to do so,” Blinken said. “The Taliban have made public and private commitments to provide and permit safe passage for Americans, for third-country nationals, and Afghans at-risk going forward past August 31.”
What part of the Taliban saying 'Get Out' by 31-Aug would you interpret to make that statement?

How convenient...
Who believes that this is a credible threat? It conveniently ends all evacuation efforts BEFORE the previous Taliban demand date of 8/31.Our government has become so despicable and untrustworthy that this "threat" may have been made up on purpose to cover the early departure of our military when there would be no protection for any remaining civilian flights out of Kabul Airport. I call BS on this "threat".

This has got to be just terrifying for those trapped.

After our military leaves I can see some jihadist with an RPG taking a shot at an aircraft full of desperate naturalized Americans or Afghan loyalists. It'll come to that.

Bingo, OP. The WH announces the AUG 31 deadline, then sends out memos to the talking heads that it's doubtful that we can meet that deadline. Now the bar is set so low that anything we manage to get accomplished before AUG 31 will be touted 24/7 as a huge success.

#3, You are correct. The Biden buffoons know they cannot rescue the Americans and Afghans who assisted the military now so in order to save face they have either given the go ahead to the terrorists to warn of an imminent attack or have simply lied about receiving the threat. They want the KIA to look as dangerous as possible so they could never ask Americans to come there to be flown out. “Our hands are tied.” “We did everything we could.” “It was too dangerous for individuals to attempt to come to the airport for rescue.” They will use any narrative that puts the blame for abandoning our people on anyone but Biden and the democrats. The depraved indifference of this administration cannot be stated more strongly. They are not even attempting to rescue these Americans. They actually believe that whatever excuse they offer will be accepted by the American people. It will not. Biden prematurely and without any forethought created this situation. Those around him who could not be bothered to leak his plans in order to prevent what is happening is extremely interesting. If President Trump even brainstormed about such a plan, it would have been leaked as breaking news in five minutes.
No one over the age of 10 would think that taking out the military first, leaving all the equipment behind, and stranding our people at the mercy of our ruthless enemies would be a good course of action. While we may not know who ordered this or exactly why, it will eventually revealed. One thing is for certain, they got their money’s worth in Joe Biden. He delivered like no one could ever believe. Those left behind will experience the worst kind of death and torture and all because of the democrats insatiable lust for power. They own the coming carnage

Of course, it's always possible that we need an excuse to leave certain Americans behind and this imminent airport attack is a very convenient excuse indeed. But then again, that may be giving too much credit to any member of Biden's intel staff.

How does the media know 150 Americans are trying to reach the airport? Explain the credible threats info. Seems to me, as long as the Taliban controls the city, a credible threat of terrorism would be an everyday thing. The problem is the so called leaders of the Taliban have no control over their members. What one terrorist says in one place, doesn't mean it's true two blocks away. There are a thousand of Taliban leaders. One for each road block and check point.

The Asscrackistan story is bad for Joe's popularity and therefore must be ended today.

Aircraft are now being fired on by terrorists this morning as they take off and leave the Kabul Airport. How would you like to be part of the US rearguard in the last infantry battalion or company trying to get out of the Kabul Airport on military transport aircraft while under terrorist fire as the airport is being overrun?

Never thought I would see the day when the US military would cut and run due to a "threat" of violence. You are the military. Stopping violence is your job. Our military is being made to look like a bunch of cowards (the soldiers are not, the leaders are). The military leadership is running away from the threat of a barbarian with a bomb vest strapped to himself. We are better than this; or at least we used to be.

Looks like the reports of the US bailing out early are true, and today will be it. I fully expect Xiden and the Clown Show to declare the operation a total success, and that we retrieved all that 'wanted' to leave.
