Tapper presses top Biden aide on Afghanistan: 'How are you going to get those Americans out?'
The Hill ^ | 08/31/2021 | CELINE CASTRONUOVO

CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tuesday pressed President Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on how the administration plans to help the numerous American citizens who remain in Afghanistan following the U.S. military withdrawal.

The Tuesday segment came after Biden said in an address from the White House Tuesday that the federal government had “no deadline” for helping out the remaining 100 to 200 U.S. citizens still believed to be in Afghanistan.

Tapper repeatedly questioned Sullivan on the issue, asking the top Biden aide why the remaining U.S. citizens were not able to get on the military evacuation flights out of Kabul over the past two weeks.

I think Tapper is putting on a show. Deep inside he could care less.

“putting on a show” is right. He’ll be back to “what’s your favorite M&M color” BS by tomorrow.

“I think Tapper is putting on a show. Deep inside he could care less.”

I agree. The complicit media has to project the appearance of an inquisitive reporting structure. The media knows people are paying some attention to this. They don’t want to lose viewers. So, they go through the motions, ask questions, then let it fade away.

Since we now have an administration that “follows the science” we can look forward to:

—Channeling and Shaman ceremonies to locate the hostages

—Witchcraft to mesmerize the captors and fairy-dust to fly them home.

"No deadline" = "It's not a priority."

Showboat. Tapper doesn’t care on the surface either.
Now Psaki gets to say, “Biden already addressed that” as a non-answer.

The whole thing is a show. (Not that human and canine actors weren’t sacrificed in the production.)

Criticizing Biden is temporarily chic.

They have a number of people 100 to 200 American people “who want to leave”. I don’t think that is a reasonable number. It is probably in the thousands. Many are probably captured or imprisoned. But pinning it at the 100 to 200 that they think they can get will allow them to abandon the rest when they get 100 to 200. They probably have a ransom budget for 200. The goal right now is to get people to accept that the number of Americans is 100 to 200.

Bottom line, he left Americans. We never do that, Obama/Biden even brought Bo Berdhal home who later was court court marshaled for desertion. They traded a deserter for 5 Taliban Generals, who got set free back to Afghanistan.
“They said over and over and over again, we never leave our countrymen.”

Even by their own figures, Biden said we got 90% of Americans out...well they said they got 5,500 out, then that leaves about 600 left(give or take), not 100 or even 200. (numbers are approximate, as they never gave us an exact number)
