About all those "hostages" in Afghanistan.

[kentuck]

This is not to minimize anyone that is held against their will.

The Taliban will not let the planes take off that have "American citizens" on board, we are told.
(We do not know how many of these folks are "dual citizens" that chose to stay with their families when they had a chance to get out of their country. They were all contacted by the State Dept, we were told.)

But, back to the "hostages".

When Donald Trump was withdrawing all the American troops, he and Steven Miller decided against bringing any Afghans out of the country at all. They were not keen on the idea of "evacuation".

If Trump had actually won his last election, we would not have "about a hundred" hostages still in the country, we would have over one-hundred thousand. Chew on that for a second.

2. Just a Question

So the airplanes that are going to transport, I think, 1,500 people out of Afghanistan and out of the 1,500, I believe, 100 are Americans.

My question is - are the 1,400 Taliban that Trump had released from prison??

This evacuation was, I believe, arranged by Glenn Beck. I heard the passengers were missing visa's, etc. I do not trust Glenn Beck's intensions.
