As we told you earlier, the last U.S. military plane in Kabul was wheels up and headed out of Afghanistan before 4 p.m. EDT this afternoon. Did all Americans make it out of the country? President Biden made that promise earlier this month:
RNC Research ~ On August 19, Biden said “if there are American citizens left, we’re going to stay until we get them all out.”
He lied.

Last Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told Fox News’ Peter Doocy that it was “irresponsible” for him to report that there are Americans and others “stranded” in Afghanistan. Psaki told Doocy that “we are not leaving Americans who want to return home”:
Townhall.com ~ PSAKI: "I think it's irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They are not."
DOOCY: "'There are no Americans stranded' is the White House's official position on what's happening in Afghanistan right now?"

Maybe Doocy can revisit this with Psaki at tomorrow’s briefing because it sure sounds like they left people behind:
Spencer Brown ~ CENTCOM Commander says there are "hundreds" of American citizens still in Afghanistan after the last C-17 departed Kabul.
They’re trapped:
Amichai Stein ~ State Dept official tells @rafsanchez: there are a bit fewer than 250 Americans still trapped in Afghanistan.
Raf Sanchez ~ Gen McKenzie says the US military evacuated more than 6,000 Americans from Afghanistan: "the vast majority of those wanted to leave at this time."
State Dept official says there are a bit fewer than 250 Americans still trapped in Afghanistan.
Raf Sanchez ~ McKenzie says the number of US citizens left behind in Afghanistan is in the "very low hundreds."
That sure sounds like “stranded” to us.
Nah, it sounds more like "left for dead" to me.
Sandy ~ But not "stranded." Just trapped, right?
That will likely be Jen Psaki’s spin on it tomorrow.
Ah so, Circle Back Jen will deflect based on some perceived difference in the definition of "stranded" vs. "trapped," eh? ROTFLMAO! Enter Billy Jeff Clintoon, "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."
W J Hayes ~ Will these Americans be classified as stranded?
Caffeinated American ~ "A bit fewer"? Is that supposed to be a win, somehow?
Storm Paglia ~ Left behind enemy lines.
Dwints ~ This doesn't mean "chose to stay" ... they're trapped.
And we said "good luck!" and peace'd.
WOW.
And without a doubt the State Department’s providing an estimate that is generous to President Biden.
One is too many, so there is no need to be generous with the inept, corrupt Biden administration.
