With President Biden remaining committed to pulling U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Aug. 31, time is running out for emergency evacuation missions.
But for now — even amid credible threats to the Kabul airport following Thursday's deadly attack — there's a steady flow of U.S. aircraft coming in and out of the airport to evacuate Americans and Afghans leaving the country following the Taliban's takeover, an air traffic controller there tells NPR.

I do not think Biden has any option now but to continue the evacuation. I hope he stays until every American citizen and ally that wants to leave does so.
