The movie 55 DAYS AT PEKING keeps coming back into my mind. We don’t have a Charlton Heston or David Niven to organize the defense of the Kabul Airport.

No, they promised no ‘spring’ offensive.

It was ‘summer’ and there was no ‘offensive’. They just walked in.

Now for this agreement - the promise is to allow them safe travel TO the airport.

Did they promise to let them safely depart on an airplane... NOPE.

Just a ‘safe trip to the airport’.

So that could be just a nice safe collection method. Saves them from having to track many of their intended victims down all over the country.

It would be far better and safer to accept ‘safe passage to Friendship Bridge’ - or the land exit of their choice !

The airport is a potential shooting gallery.

10,000 Americans are awaiting evacuation from Kabul in Afghanistan, sources say!

The U.S. is trying to process tens of thousands of visas to airlift roughly 10,000 civilians out of Afghanistan as the Taliban seizes control of the nation’s capital. CBS News’ Christina Ruffini joins CBSN’s Michael George with the latest.


What the hell were 10,000 Americans doing in Kabul?

Were they all working for the CIA and the various private agencies/agents hired by the CIA or ???

What industries did Kabul and Afghanistan have to attract these people and pay them to live in
Kabul?

Did our tax $’s pay for these Americans to be there with their families?

If so, what benefit did we receive for our investments?

It’s like a Nazi promise of safe escort to the border.
