Words escape me. But there are multiple stories of this happening.

Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino interviewed a lady who is trying to help get out Afghan’s who have helped us. “Carl” had been sharing his story about trying to get out. He had all his documents and at the airport a British Marine went and got him. “Proof of life” photos were sent to the US but then the US Marines kicked him out.

That’s true. I was speaking about the general concept of dual citizenship, not this specific event.

In general, I tend to agree with you. Its like a marriage. You get to choose, but choose. You can’t be loyal to two nations. If you have two citizenships, inevitably at least one of them is a flag of convenience. Maybe both of them.

At a certain point they just stopped letting anyone in.


That’s my guess as to what happened, too.

Criminal.


Where is so-called opposition party? In Asian countries they would be duking it out on the floor of the legislature over WAY less than abandoning citizens to terrorists. It seems the GOP couldn’t care less.

The manner in which BIden sacrificed Americans to the Taliban in Afghanistan, is the way he will sacrifice Americans in the streets, domestically. Citizens are expected to face the Taliban on their own.

The American dream these days is that this president resigns.

Good point. Compromised. Owned. Afraid of their own shadows. Pathetic.

What a terrible story. If I may, did you receive confirmation of their deaths, or is that just a well educated assumption? An assumption that is probably nearer a fact than an assumption unfortunately.

Either way, a terrible story and I am very sorry for your loss.

Confirmed. My friend is a health care attorney. 10 years ago she went to Afghanistan to help them build a hospital. She invested most of her life savings into it because she believed in it. less than a year later it was bombed. Thankfully she survived. This family were her best friends. Interpreters, Treated her like family. She has been on the phone since 10 days ago trying to use every contact and resource to get this family out. They had been in contact, even sending pictures from the airport. I’ve seen them. The day after the bomb everything stopped. Frantic, my friend used her other resources and it was confirmed they are gone. The callousness of the administration is mind blowing. The incompetence is worse.

Holy Lord in Heaven. Again, I am sorry for you all’s loss.

This whole thing is absolutely infuriating! This is not what America stands for! And if anything can be worse than your story, I now believe it is coming. It looks like many Americans were left behind. I am just beside myself, I honestly have not witnessed anything like this in my life. And we thought Benghazi was bad, and it was, a terrible dereliction of duty. But this is next level stuff. It looks like both were well orchestrated. Not mistakes, not murphys law, but thought out actions that do nothing but harm our country.

The enemy is inside the wire….heck the enemy is in the command hut. I fear for our country….

The Department of State also obstructed Glenn Beck and the others trying to rescue people. Yet Beck’s organization got about 10,000 people out. How many more could have been saved if this cruel, amoral regime hadn’t gotten in the way?

But totally unvetted Afghans are given the golden ticket and American dreams.

Yes. On Tucker Carlson's 8-30-21 show,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MGmEIMZonU"

starting at about 18:10, Tucker interviewed Wisconsin Congressman Tom Tiffany. Tiffany traveled to Fort McCoy, a U.S. Army installation, where 2000 Afghan evacuees had been dropped off. According to Tiffany, not one of the evacuees had a SIV, a Special Immigrant Visa. These Afghans arrived completely unvetted. We have no idea who they are. They are not confined on base. They can just walk off the base if they want to.

Tiffany did not say when the Afghans will be provided with valid IDs and registered to vote for Democrats.

Most of the Afghans that they did let onto the planes didnt do anything for American soldiers...

Why were they chosen to be saved ???

I don’t know. Our Country is incompetent. Or else it is more nefarious than that.

Maybe they got to go because they are more likely to vote Democrat while the decent Afghans who helped us were suspected to lean right...

Plus the American citizens with American passports were denied access for days and weeks...

It doesn't matter if they are dual-citizenship. In the eyes of the law, every American citizen is only an American citizen.

The existence of any other citizenship with regards to an individual is not an excuse to deny any right. There is not multiple "levels" of American citizenship.
