One family is already back but if you cross your fingers and 🙏 really really hard maybe the rest won’t.
No, we’re rooting for the military to go back in, retake Bagram, retake our fucking weapons, vehicles, aircraft, and tech, and wipe those piece of shit taliban terrorists off the fucking map.
Americans stranded in Afghanistan are being blamed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken for not registering with the U.S. government and waiting to evacuate as the CIA has begun helicopter rescue missions.
"There could be other Americans in Afghanistan who never enrolled with the Embassy, who ignored public evacuation notices, and have not yet identified themselves to us," Blinken said at Wednesday's press briefing.
Blinken also blamed Americans who are not enrolled with the U.S. Embassy in Kabul for their difficulties in reaching the airport because of safety concerns.
"The U.S. government does not track Americans' movement when they travel around the world," Blinken said. "When Americans visit a foreign country, or if they reside there, we encourage them to enroll with the U.S. Embassy. Whether they do or not is up to them.
"It's voluntary."
Blinken added it is also Americans' responsibility to "de-enroll."
"Again, that's a choice, not a requirement," Blinken added. "Particularly given the security situation in Afghanistan, for many years, we have urged Americans not to travel there. We've repeated asked Americans who are in Afghanistan, to enroll."
These are truly horrible people. Not even hyperbole.
Trump, the GOP, Trump voters, the people trapped there - everyone is at fault except Joe
When asked by a reporter what he plans to do if U.S. citizens remain in Afghanistan following the Aug. 31 withdrawal deadline, President Joe Biden joked: ''You'll be the first person I call.''
NBC News' chief White House correspondent, Peter Alexander, posted the exchange he had with the president Wednesday morning.
''I asked President Biden what he will do if Americans are still in Afghanistan after the 8/31 deadline,'' Alexander posted on Twitter. ''His response: ‘You'll be the first person I call.' Took no questions.''
Biden did not take questions after a press briefing on his meeting with G-7 leaders and others at the White House.
