(8/21/21) The Kabul airport gates reportedly closed Saturday, as additional details indicate the Taliban is confiscating U.S. passports.
“Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport,” the embassy alerted on its website, “we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a U.S. government representative to do so.”
The active security threats come as the New York Post reported the Taliban is “now attempting to take their U.S. passports and identification orders in an attempt to stop them from leaving the country.
“I got to the gates and was about to show my passport, but the Taliban got it, and he said you are not allowed to go through and wouldn’t give it back,” one Afghan American on the ground told the Post. “I was lucky a U.S. marine was right there and forced him to give it back.”

Sure, that's why the Taliban have already murdered people trying to flee at their homes and set up roadblocks and only beat people if they were lucky. Of course our great media won't tell You that nor will the inept Biden Administration. The British and the French have ben going to home and rescuing their citizens and other that helped them which they would not have had to rush and do if it wasn't for Biden. They have said so of course the media won't report that either. The Government's of both the UK, United Kingdom (British) and France aren't very happy with the mishandling by the Biden Administration.

Biden has no self respect and has lost any respect that may have been available to him. Worthless

SSG Franklin Briant Wish I could disagree with you but then I would be lying to myself. It is going to get worse long before it gets better.

I hate being right with the death of our troops and I believe today was just a small example of what is to come if Sleepy don't do something big to show them we can still throw down. I doubt sleepy will though.
