Geee Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 American Military News President Joe Biden abandoned as many as 9,000 American citizens in Afghanistan following the administration’s botched withdrawal in August last year, a new report released on Thursday by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee revealed. The report contradicts the Biden administration’s earlier claims that just 100-150 were left behind. Signed by Foreign Relations ranking member Jim Risch of Idaho, the report shows that senior State Department officials leading the evacuation task force believed 15,000 Americans at the most were in Afghanistan around Aug. 17. By Aug. 31, the final day of evacuation operations, 6,000 Americans managed to escape the country that was quickly taken over by the Taliban.

Valin Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 @Geee Did Anyone buy the 100-150 left behind? 100-150 is bad enough! Quote Despite the State Department’s information on the number of Americans still in Afghanistan, Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken testified in September in front of the House Foreign Affairs Committee that “approximately 100-150 remained in Afghanistan who still wished to depart.” And Nothing happened to him. not even a letter of reprimand.
