It seems that the problem is all the Taliban checkpoints on the way to the airport. Today I heard that an English speaking Afghan who had been an interpreter was turned away from the airport by US forces because he didn't have the right piece of paper. Right now the Biden Administration is saying that the military will not go door to door, but Biden is not going to be able to stand the heat if the media reports that any Americans can not get out.
I can tell you that the State Department sucks at planning, much less executing a plan, but that is fairly obviousl at this point. I feel sure that they will get all the Americans out but I'm not sure about the Afghans. I heard a debate today, which no one seems to know the answer to - Biden has said that all troops will be out of August on 31 August. Right now, no one is sure if he will stick to that, or allow operations to continue. The spokesperson at the Pentagon said that it is a physical impossiblity to get everyone out by 31 August.
I have another question: So when we airlift all the Afghans out, they intend to house them on military installations. Then what? Want to bet that the State Department will not have any plans for it either?
