Maybe we should substitute "abandoned" for "stranded"
A cable leaked from the State Department and obtained by Politico’s national security reporter Alex Ward reveals a somber picture of evacuation reality from Afghanistan. Ward tweeted on Tuesday:
“NEW: Leaked State Department cable with evacuation numbers (as of Aug 23 at 15—ET):
Total manifested since midnight Kabul AUG 23: 483
AMCITS, 6,425 Afghans natls, 8 3rd country/unknown.
Total = 6,916
Total manifested since op began: 4,407 AMCITS, 21,533
Afghans, 642 TCNs. Total = 26,582”
The Blaze writes, “The figure is particularly troubling given that low-end estimates indicated the number of American citizens present in Afghanistan prior to the U.S. military withdrawal was between 10,000 and 15,000. That number, however, could actually be much higher.”
“Even if the lowest number — 10,000 — is accepted, data outlined in the cable show that the Biden administration is less than halfway toward extracting every American with only one week to go.” Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Monday “we are actually overperforming in terms of the evacuation numbers.”
Biden press secretary Jen Psaki snapped at Fox News reporter Peter Doocy when asked how many Americans were stranded in Afghanistan. Psaki shot back with an absolute lie that it is “irresponsible” to say Americans are stranded in Afghanistan because everyone who wants to get out, can. We know this not to be the case as the Taliban are setting up check points and hindering safe passage to the Kabul airport for safe evacuation.
On Tuesday, the Democratic National Committee had the audacity to issue a press release declaring a victory for Biden in Afghanistan. The release admiringly gave the misinformation that it didn’t take two weeks to evacuate 50,000, it only took ten days.
The release quoted John Harwood as saying, “Biden national security officials last week set goal of evacuating 5k-9k per day from Afghanistan. This morning, WH says 21,600 were flown out of Kabul in last 24-hours – 12,700 on US military flights, 8,900 on allied coalition flights.” Total “Evacuees in last 10 days: 58,700” the DNC proclaimed.

They are dumping tens of thousands of people in countries that said they would only take a certain amount. This has gotten way out of control and I guarantee there are people coming off those planes that didn't need to be evacuated unlike the AMCITS who are still stuck there. This is an utter failure of leadership at the highest levels and everyone is running around pointing the finger in the opposite direction. Heads need to roll on both sides of the isle when this is all said and done.

Also because of Biden's reckless action on this the United Kingdom and French have both had to send rescue parties to the homes of people to extract them from the country, something the US isn't doing ! Neither they nor most of Europe and other allies worldwide are at all happy about what Biden has done here and have said so.

They can impeach him all day GySgt Thomas Vick but they won't get the necessary votes in the Senate to convict. I am going to go out on a limb and say that they'll likely invoke the 25th amendment on him soon if not first part of next year. Kamala will be President then - God help us!
