BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 3.36pm post, " Several thousand Americans still in Afghanistan - US advisor...Several thousand US citizens are believed to still be in Afghanistan, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan has said...Sullivan also described the threat of attacks by the Islamic State group against the airport as "real" and "acute". "
Lets Get Real:
The last thing that POTUS can afford is to leave American citizens in Afghanistan controlled by the TALIBAN, the Americans could become hostages if the Taliban start to return to form, they could demand that the West gives the financial support before they allow Americans to leave. It would make the Iran hostage crisis look like happy hour at the pub. The Democrats with long memories will recall how the Iran hostage crisis defined the Carter Administration from 1979 to 1981. The Democrats will be worried that there could be US hostages in Afghanistan at the time of the Mid Terms in 2022. Let's be frank, in pure political terms, its getting the Americans out, and some of the Afghans, they are less important to the Biden Oval, he either sends in more troops to the airport or does a runner in a few days.
