The Kabul airport gates are reportedly closed Saturday, as additional details indicate the Taliban is confiscating U.S. passports.
“All of the entrance gates to the airport were closed on Saturday morning because of the dangerous situation,” the New York Times reported, adding that the U.S. embassy in Kabul is advising evacuees not to travel to the airport in light of “security threats.”
“Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport,” the embassy alerted on its website, “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 active security threats come as the New York Post reported the Taliban is “now attempting to take their U.S. passports and identification orders in an attempt to stop them from leaving the country.”
Well Lucy, what time are you coming on TV today to splain?
Bass ackwards is not how you operate a national powerhouse country.
Always always always, your military members are last to turn out the lights. Not first, leaving Americans in harms way. You know this Lucy, stop listening to the children you’ve surrounded yourself. Its embarrassing AND un-effin-believable.
Any intelligent 10-year-old could have seen this coming and done a better job of executing a withdrawal. The level of incompetence on display is embarrassing and unbelievable. Makes a thinking person wonder if it was incompetence or intentional, does it not?
