Reports coming in that US citizens are being denied entry to Kabul airport

11B-Mailclerk drew our attention to this report. Members of congress are saying that US troops at the Kabul airport are turning away American citizens, not allowing them entry so they can be evacuated. This is especially alarming as Biden has repeatedly committed to getting all of our military forces out of the country tomorrow.

From PJ Media;

ep. Dan Crenshaw is a retired Navy SEAL who served and was wounded in Afghanistan’s Helmand province during his third deployment, in 2012. He lost his right eye and his left eye was badly damaged in an IED attack. Crenshaw is held in extremely high regard in the veteran and active-duty communities.

Lara Logan is a long-time award-winning journalist now working for Fox News who has spent much of her career covering war zones including Iraq and Afghanistan. Between the two of them, Logan and Crenshaw have spent years in and around Afghanistan. Due to their experience there, both are likely to have credible sources on the ground at the Kabul airport.

Both Logan and Crenshaw are independently reporting that Americans have been turned away from safety at that airport over the past couple of days.

Update: Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) says the State Department is not helping.

See the source for screencaps of the tweets. Crenshaw and Logan both say this has been on-going in Afghanistan for 24 hours or so. The article notes how Secretary of State Antony Blinkin is in charge of the evacuation debacle. IF US troops are turning American citizens away, it could be at the direction of the State Department.

The Groper and his Clown Crew can sure fuck anything up… even a wet dream.

If it’s true (and my gut is telling me it is) there’s more blood on this administrations hands…

Heard something this morning about a busload of female US citizens being turned away at the gate and then taken at gunpoint by Taliban assholes in plain view of US personnel. I was really hoping it was just another internet rumor.

Weasel Zippers has it:

If true, then this is an unlawful order, and every Marine, soldier, sailor, or airman on that base is free to ignore it.
Who, in God’s name, would order our men to turn away American Citizens at the 11th hour?
What am I saying? We KNOW who would do something that mindlessly stupid.

I wonder if that nice MRAP behind the 10th Mountain trooper will be turned over to the Taili-cunts. Asking for a friend.

Probably with brand-new tires and a fresh coat of wax, at the rate this shitshow is going so far…

Damn.

Anything you read, don’t believe for the first 24 hours.

Sound advice. Why on earth would anyone think that a media, mainstream and social, so ignorant,incompetent and biased would be accurate in the first hours of an event? It’s mainly rumors and gossip at the best of times.

The body hanging from ISIS Blackhawk flying around the base tells it all.

Beheadings to be shown on Al Jazeera for 9/11 anniversary.

I just saw that Sapper. It’s fucking disgusting that we just left those ‘Hawks there.

How much time to drop a handful of sand or gravel in the transmission fluid?

Oh, wait. That requires someone senior plan for reality.

Some alcohol, diesel fuel or gasoline in the crankcase and transmission will do wonders…

I made the mistake of looking at the Twatter comments. Some Lars-ist asswipe is claiming that the Blackhawk is an Mi-17, so it’s not something Biden handed over. Never mind the Blackhawk fuselage, Blackhawk fat tail boom, Blackhawk engine mounts, 4-blade rotor instead of 5, taildragger landing gear rather than tricycle, and notable lack of a Hip’s trademark ass-end clamshell doors below said tail boom (Jesus, I’m such a fucking nerd…), it’s *definitely* not a Blackhawk and *totally* not PedoJoe’s fault.

I called attention to the weasel words “who want to leave”. Watch them blame folks for “not showing up” or “not trying very hard”.

Really hoping I am wrong.

If anyone did give such an order, Courts Martial, ASAP.

State Dept’s directives for Americans not to come to the airport because of a bomb threat means Americans being turned away by Marines and taken by Taliban. Civilian bureaucrats don’t realize what their cautions mean.

[…] in Afghanistan. This does explain why they were turning away civilians the last day or so, as we discussed earlier. Ain’t no more room. Forget if you want to come home, you should have made it here sooner, […]
