One day after the dementia-ridden president lied to Americans and billions watching around the world that he has "No indication that [Americans] haven't been able to get, in Kabul, through the airport," when asked about evacuating Americans who were unable to reach the only safe place in the Taliban-overrun caliphate.... ... just 12 hours later on Saturday the US embassy in Kabul, or rather what's left of it as it is now officially located at the airport having handed over the actual embassy building to the millitant Suunis, advised Americans in Afghanistan to avoid traveling to Kabul airport, adding that authorities will contact all registered U.S. citizens with further instructions as the situation updates.
"Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport, 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 embassy posted Saturday morning.
Crowds have grown at the airport where armed Taliban have urged those without travel documents to go home.
Switzerland postponed a charter flight from Kabul because of the chaos, its foreign ministry said: "The security situation around Kabul airport has worsened significantly in the last hours. A large number of people in front of the airport and sometimes violent confrontations are hindering access to the airport," the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
"We've made an agreement with the Taliban. Thus far, they've allowed them to go through." Alas, it now appears that the Taliban have altered the deal, and the only recourse US citizens in Afghanistan have that the Taliban don't alter it further, is prayer.
President Joe Biden on Friday said they "Know of no circumstance where American citizens are carrying an American passport" and not able to reach the airport.
About 12,000 foreigners and Afghans working for embassies and international aid groups have been evacuated from Kabul airport since Taliban insurgents entered the capital, a NATO official said.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
