Mr McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Fox News there were six planes carrying American citizens and Afghan interpreters waiting at the airport.
"[The State Department] has cleared these flights and the Taliban will not let them leave the airport," he said.
The Texas representative added: "We know the reason why is because the Taliban want something in exchange."

In an email to members of Congress seen by CBS News, the State Department acknowledged there were charter flights at Mazar-i-Sharif that the Taliban will not allow to fly until they have approved the departure.

In a statement to the BBC, a spokesperson for the State Department said the concern felt was understood, but added: "We do not have personnel on the ground, we do not have air assets in the country, we do not control the airspace - whether over Afghanistan or elsewhere in the region."
As a result of the withdrawal, the State Department said it did not have to the means to confirm details of the flight or those waiting to board. However, "we will hold the Taliban to its pledge to let people freely depart Afghanistan," the spokesperson said.

It requires diplomatic clearance to depart Afghanistan & to arrive in Qatar. Our State Dept, the Taliban & the Qataris all have diplomats meeting in Doha. Clearance can be issued & the passengers held in Qatar until screened for departure. Our State Dept is playing the "it's not our job" card.

We can tell that your critical thinking is deficient.

I paid 85% of my education myself, put about $30k total into undergrad and all loans and scholarship money for grad school which with living expenses was still $75-$80k. Maybe you don’t understand that people can earn their own way in life and instead that the path to glory is complaining and being bitter while calling everyone names and shouting at clouds.

My mommy and daddy didn't waste a kings ransom on a college education for me. Did your mommy and daddy ever ask for a refund? They would have had a legit argument.🤪
We can tell that your critical thinking is deficient.

I paid 85% of my education myself, put about $30k total into undergrad and all loans and scholarship money for grad school which with living expenses was still $75-$80k. Maybe you don’t understand that people can earn their own way in life and instead that the path to glory is complaining and being bitter while calling everyone names and shouting at clouds.
“Waste” is probably accurate.

FTR, I never said I believed it. I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility either. I have enough experience reading bullchit links on this forum to have become very cynical. It seems like the vast majority of links posted on this forum are simply opinion pieces.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-58455959
Mr McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Fox News there were six planes carrying American citizens and Afghan interpreters waiting at the airport.
"[The State Department] has cleared these flights and the Taliban will not let them leave the airport," he said.
The Texas representative added: "We know the reason why is because the Taliban want something in exchange."

In an email to members of Congress seen by CBS News, the State Department acknowledged there were charter flights at Mazar-i-Sharif that the Taliban will not allow to fly until they have approved the departure.

In a statement to the BBC, a spokesperson for the State Department said the concern felt was understood, but added: "We do not have personnel on the ground, we do not have air assets in the country, we do not control the airspace - whether over Afghanistan or elsewhere in the region."
As a result of the withdrawal, the State Department said it did not have to the means to confirm details of the flight or those waiting to board. However, "we will hold the Taliban to its pledge to let people freely depart Afghanistan," the spokesperson said.


Stern letter from the State Dept to the Taliban to follow.
American citizens?

More like mercanaries? What, we aren't still spending billions on Afghan, ummm....services.

American citizens, free to carry, and use, firearms, freely. The DoD private military know how to use weapons?

Here's why I maintain our EU NATO allies could have kept their air bases open while the US & Brits held Bagram & HKIA.

https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2021/0 ... on/185111/

Here's the actual numbers evacuated by the US. Only 31,760 Afghan nationals.
