The majority were left behind? Is this true?

How was this possible when they were amongst the highest priority group, after Americans, to be evacuated?

So who then were on all those planes? I guess they were all legitimate translators and their dependents, but the majority were still left behind due to the rushed timeline to leave by the deadline?

At the rate we are going the next pres will be a zoophile cannibal.
Not one soldier was killed in the last 18 months. Afghanistan was neutralized with only 2,500 non combat soldiers where we provided air support and logistics to the Afghan Army. The Taliban were always on the the run living in caves where they belong and Afghanistan wouldn’t become Disney World for terrorists. Foreign policy is where Trump truly shined.

Or that due to the speed of the Taliban's takeover. The people could not reach the Kabel airport.

Ultimately, Trump shooting off his mouth and giving the Taliban the opportunity to walk in. When whole parts of Afghan Military were allowed to just dissolve due to Trump's negotiation.

History will be on Biden's side.

Those poor translators left behind. I shudder to think of their fate.

Many of them have already been killed, and I'm sure in a horrific way. That's how the Taliban operates - and this is the group of savages that Biden wants to partner with.

The people with their panties in a wad over this are the same people crying about "we're full" "we don't need more immigrants" and "where are we going to put these people".

They just change the comments to suit their BDS.

or they'd use their standard cop-out 'mixed, lacks context.'

According to the WSJ, the evacuation of the interpreters was hampered by:

1. Slow bureaucratic process not designed for the chaotic nature of the situation

2. Terrorist threat

3. Limiting number of checkpoints to airport

4. Taliban checkpoints slowing process

5. Threat of rapid and widespread fraud of any issuance of the clearance papers

Biden’s administration have stated they will continue working to get those left behind out. How?

Who indeed? I’m sure I can guess. Probably just anyone who could get to the airfield in time. How many think there was a lot of vetting?
