CNN reporting Americans left in Afghanistan are being told to destroy all their paperwork and go into hiding in hopes that we can sneak them back a few months from now…

CENTCOM CDR touting military capabilities at “HKIA”…doesn’t he realize those capabilities are meaningless to the US Marines (and a Sailor) lives we just lost? Stop with the numbers and start talking about actions we will take to save American lives! Where’s Biden, why aren’t we hearing from the CinC???

And the gates are closed and American citizens are left behind. Despicable
NATO statement:
We regret to inform you that international military evacuations from Kabul airport have ended and we are no longer able to call anyone forward for evacuation flights. We will keep lists of all of you who have registered
Statement from a US Congressman:
US citizens are not being allowed into Kabul international.
Biden has ordered the gates closed. Our fellow Americans will soon be left behind. Unbelievable and unforgivable.
And from a reporter
Now being told that State Dept. is telling nations surrounding Afghanistan not to allow private jets handling the private extractions to land and/or refuel.
This is inexplicable and evil.
And from another US Congressman
I am furious!! My team has been on the phone all day trying to get AMERICAN CITIZENS out. They have been just outside the airport numerous times, but the State Department WILL NOT help them. They have been beaten by the Taliban at check points and told to leave and come back with large sums of money. Biden is going to get them killed! Enough!! We have put someone who gives a damn in charge RIGHT NOW!

Imagine being an American stuck in Afghanistan right now.
You took a dangerous job in a war zone because you never in a million years thought your government wouldn’t just abandon you, but would give your name, passport number, and location to the Taliban.
America is dead.

“Tell people DO NOT go to the airport now. Last US wheels leave in 15 minutes. After that, it will be overrun by TB.”
Latest on Kabul airport from an international safety and security officer for one of the world's largest relief organizations
“Private advice being circulated by deputy assistant secretary of defense is for all visa holders/high risk pers, including those who had submitted their names to an evacuation manifest, to leave Kabul immediately. ‘As soon as the US is out, the roundups will begin.’”

Retired Navy aviator labels Biden admin claim ‘false,’ says Americans denied entry into Kabul airport
"I worked for a family last night for about eight hours. That video was from the family. They had been trying to get into the back gate, the south gate. It was the only one open yesterday. Everything else welded shut. And they had been turned back by the Taliban multiple times. They had been beaten. They were scared. They were terrified. And we could not get them through last night," Odom told "Fox & Friends." Odom's comments came after a video reportedly showed Americans being denied.
.
.
"We had them moving through the checkpoints. … They could not get into the gate. The gates were closed. They were outside, waving their passports. We are telling them to scream that 'I'm an American. I need to get on this airplane.' And no one let them. And you know, we heard that went all the way up to the top of the military leadership," Odom said.

Biden "rebuffed European requests to extend" the 8/31 deadline, leaving allies unable "to airlift their remaining citizens and Afghans allies out of Kabul. Tens of thousands of such people, eligible for evacuation, remain stranded."
