Biden says as many as 15,000 Americans looking to flee Afghanistan

As many as 15,000 American citizens may remain inside Afghanistan, struggling to get out, days after the Asian nation fell to control of Taliban terrorists, President Biden said Wednesday.

Biden screwed this all up, the only people around here being dismissive of it are loyalists who do not care about those Americans or those in Afghanistan who tried to help us.

Why would we not let Americans in to their own country? Are you trying to tell us that their spots have been filled by illegal aliens?

Who said anything about undocumented immigrants?? We're talking about American citizens whom xenophobes might confuse for undocumented immigrants.

You know, keep 'em all out just in case. /s

Excellent example of an ad hominem attack. Would you care to offer some substance to this thread?

Well that article is a bit misleading. The number came from an interview with Biden.

"We've got like 10 to 15,000 Americans in the country right now. Right? And are you committed to making sure that the troops stay until every American who wants to be out is out?" Stephanopoulos asked Biden.

"Yes," Biden replied.

So Biden didn't say that there were 15,000 Americans looking to flee. It was stated that there are between 10,000-15,000 Americans left and that Biden is committed to ensuring that everyone who wishes to leave will leave. They've imposed an August 31st date by which to accomplish this. But Biden did say that if there are still Americans looking to leave after that date, that it's possible that the mission will push out.

It's not good, but it's also not quite the hysterics you're trying to present here.

Would you care to address the OP, because you hypocritically kinda did the same thing?

This is all happening because of Biden Administration failure after failure. Care to defend that?

Illegal aliens are always a hot ticket for the Left. It almost goes without saying.

No, if you're an American citizen then come on in! Just don't get yourselves down if the democrats try to classify you as "needy". ;)

Highlighted phrase is pure ad hom. Are you ready to walk it back or defend it?

So, I’m other words, the President publicly pledged that he would get everyone out.

That’s not just a bit of nuanced difference from the original story- it’s pretty much the opposite.

If you cared you would have addressed the issue Biden created, but you decided to go after the OP.

Pot... met kettle.

So you're STILL going to leave your ad hom on the table. Thus it stands and mars anything else you are trying to say. 🤷‍♂️

OrphanSlug, who stands by his ad hom, thinks he is entitled to demand that others say what he wants them to say. :LOL:

Again, look at the order of operations in this thread. Your #2 post here stands, and you still refuse to address the OP.
