Pentagon confirms nearly 450 Americans trapped in Afghanistan
The number is higher than what the State Department had said last week By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News The Pentagon stated Tuesday that nearly 450 American citizens are still in Afghanistan following August's U.S. military withdrawal, more than the Biden administration has previously claimed. The latest tally came from Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl, after Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., pointed to what he believed were contradictory or at least "confusing" numbers that the administration has presented since the August 31 withdrawal. POMPEO: BIDEN HAS DONE 'ALMOST NOTHING' TO BRING STRANDED AMERICANS IN AFGHANISTAN HOME "One of the many confusing things about this whole thing is that we really don't know how many Americans are left in Afghanistan," Inhofe said. "The administration's number of U.S. citizens left in Afghanistan keeps changing. We all understand that. It's very confusing." Inhofe noted that the Biden administration "always said 100 to 200 U.S. citizens left in Afghanistan," but now says it "has already withdrawn 234 and is in contact with 363 others, 176 of whom want to leave," citing numbers the State Department provided last week. "Now if we can figure this out you're doing a lot better than I have done," Inhofe said. Kahl gave a thorough response detailing the numbers he had of how many Americans were in Afghanistan and had gotten out, eventually leading to the number of those who remain. ISSA SLAMS 'BETRAYAL' AS STATE DEPT ADMITS NUMBER OF AMERICANS STILL IN AFGHANISTAN HIGHER THAN PRIOR CLAIMS "In terms of how many American citizens we estimate are currently in Afghanistan, the Department of State is in contact with 196 American citizens who are ready to depart - and arrangements are being made for them to do so, either via air or over ground - and another 243 American citizens have been contacted and are not ready to depart, either because they want to stay in Afghanistan or aren't ready," Kahl said. This total of 439 American citizens still in Afghanistan is up from the 363 the State Department had told congressional staff last week - which itself was up from the estimate of roughly 100 the administration had said in September. ------------------------- The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED. -BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is. -They are both card carrying narcissists. ^These are PROVED facts. |
