According to a stunning new report from GOP Senator Tom Cotton’s office numerous American citizens are now stranded behind enemy lines in Taliban-occupied Kabul with no way to escape having been told by the Biden Administration to merely ‘shelter in place.’

As The Daily Caller reports:
Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton called on “stranded” Americans in Kabul, Afghanistan, to contact his office for assistance Sunday during the Taliban’s continuous takeover of the country.
The Taliban, a radical Islamic force that formerly ruled the nation, entered Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, Sunday after former President Ashraf Ghani fled the country. The White House announced on Aug. 14 that President Joe Biden’s administration made the decision to deploy 5,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan to assist the personnel in evacuating the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.
If you’re an American stranded in Afghanistan, or know one who is, please contact my office immediately:
(501) 223-9081 or
[email protected]The situation is dire, but we’ll do everything in our power to help keep you informed and to help get you out.

Several U.S. citizens informed Cotton’s office that they were trapped behind Taliban checkpoints in Kabul and said that they cannot “safely reach the U.S. perimeter and have no clear option of what to do,” according to Maggie Haberman of The New York Times.

Due to an erupted gunfire at the Kabul airport, all commercial travel had been canceled throughout the day, causing the embassy to order everyone to shelter in place and avoid airports, The Associated Press reported. Helicopters landed at the embassy to rush diplomats to a new outpost at the airport and continued all evacuations on military flights.
…
With time running out to evacuate US citizens, the US may be soon facing a hostage crisis or potentially much worse if those trapped behind Taliban lines aren’t rescued soon.
if they are liberals … just leave em .
Where’s Hillary? That she beast knows how to fix this!
Maybe Hillary will risk being subjected to more sniper fire, as she flies her AC-130 into Kabul to rescue our ambassadors, just as she did for the Benghazi crew. Then again, maybe not.
you mean like in Bosnia when they landed amist all kinds ofmgun fire and ran to shelters to avoid getting killed all while recieving flowersfro girls. What a hero… how f…in funny is that
How DARE you question the veracity of our Secretary of State! Those images of girls holding flowers were photo-shopped by the Russians to advance the Trump campaign!! Hillary (Who was named after a famous mountain climber, even before he climbed a mountain. Now that’s forward thinking.) personally flew that heavily loaded C-17 into a raging battle, landing the plane with one hand while she fired an M-16 with the other to suppress the murderous insurgents. Her Distinguished Lying Cross…..errrr…Flying Cross…was pinned to her BDUs by the Pope, along with her Purple Heart and the Congressional Medal of Honor. She is a HERO! (Except in Haiti, where she’s got a shady reputation….)
You’re kidding right?! She’s the furthest thing from a Hero!
OMG…OF COURSE HE IS BEING SATIRICAL… SHE WAS USING AN M40…HAHAHAHA
David Baker, thank you! You are hilarious…I wish you would write more.
You mean the Hildebeast? ‘At THIS point, what does it MATTER?’
Hillary is busy trying to make some more money in Haiti. “madam president OMA”.
It’s bad enough that we have betrayed and abandoned those who sided with us in Afghanistan but we can’t even save our own.
No surprise.its ole barry and his puppet joe!!
Those who sided with you , now are cheering and warmly greeting the taliban. So don’t feel so sorry for them.
I know, send Biden and whom ever else agreed on getting the “important” American citizens out and left behind families.
This just proves how important some people are while others are not. SHAME ON ALL #DEMODUMBASSES for agreeing to this and if even one American citizen dies because of this, may you forever suffer because of it! You’re ALL COWARDS!!
biden is a mental midget. He should be arrested and charged by proxy. He is a horrible person. Not a president. But a useful idiot for oshitstain
How you like your Commander in Chief ? State Department, good luck.
Where is Trump when you need him and they need to close the border so the taliban can’t get in
Not to worry, joe’s plan is coming together.
Yes indeed, it’s only transitory
If I was Xi in China, I would consider an immediate military invasion of Taiwan, while Biden is trying to figure out why things aren’t going so well. China has threatened nuclear retaliation against US cities if we interfere in their invasion of Taiwan.
I can see the day when staff tells Biden “China is currently bombing and making missile strikes on Taiwan”, and Biden screams at them, “quit bothering me. Leave me alone. Go away.”
Like Afghanistan, Biden will say Taiwan must stop depending on the US for military defense. Like Neville Chamberlain, who appeased Adolf Hitler, Biden believes he can find peace through surrender with Russia, China, and Iran, the new axis of evil.
he learned from the best Barry the appeaser
Not to get too far ahead of current events but Taipei is next God forbid.
LISTEN UP….GOD Has a REASON for EVERYTHING. HE Can TAKE the EVIL That SATAN Does and BRING SOMETHING GOOD Out of it. GOD Brings BLESSINGS Out of TRADEGIES. Fr om SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
if anyone think Biden is doing a good job, I have a safe and effective “vaccine ” for you to try
my neighbor’s aunt makes 62 every hour on the internet.. she has been without work for eight months but the previous HAc month her revenue was 19022 only working on the laptop 5 hours a day.. check this …… 𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐏𝐀𝐘𝟏.𝐜𝐨𝐦
Here comes Benghazi 2.0. God protect the Americans left as Taliban-fodder by Beijing Joe!
Obama, the Master of Disaster, aka MOD, made several comments about his Vice President.
“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f— things up.”
”Voiced concern about Joe Biden’s electoral prospects,
according to a report.”
He had a B’day Birthday party and invited only those that he liked. Lots of Hollywood’s demented “Stars” were crossed off the list, people who actually kissed his colita were angry because they were not uninvited. HE IS THE MOD. Do not think the Puppet was invited, or was he?
These two, do not care as to what is happening in Afghanistan, especially the puppet. He is too busy with his Crackhead son. I truly have no kind words for these men, who will stop at nothing when it comes to saving lives.
This is as disgraceful as it gets in my opinion. It took a decade or two before the Vietnamese boat people debacle was straightened out. That US citizens have been abandoned is as close to treason as anything I can imagine. Its not like this was unforeseeable or anything. We just have embecilic Obama era political retreads running the show at the moment. Joe Biden is clearly just a puppet for his masters in China and socialist Obama’s inner circle. Our current Sec of Def. Gen. Austin, Joint Chief of Staff Gen Milley, as well as Mr. Blinken were all members of team Obama when such critical decisions last were in such disarray. I predict we will lose hundreds, if not thousands, of US citizens in the defeat Biden has managed to conger up. A blood bath is in the making . The Taliban is a group that relishes revenge against its enemies, and their history is replete with examples of what we should now expect. When I first saw the news about this I started to immediately have flashbacks of Saigon 1975. That so any fools in our deep state government selected this fool ids criminal. Biden has got to go, he is not capable and cannot comprehend the troubles he has wrought. Kamala is running scared and is basically worthless in this situation. It will take decades of hard work to rebuild our credibility around the world. This is not a minor screw up folks.
Save the military personnel. Send in the social workers and the other demokraps to talk our hostages out of harms way. That will work so much better than doing the right thing on the withdrawal to begin with.
Get them out, then nuke that hell hole while there is a large assembly of talibunheads in town!
Get them HOME Now ASAP
I wonder how many will be taken hostage and either held for ransom or to be traded for terrorists in prison around the world? Biden is no Midas, his touch turns anything he touches to shit.
What a boondoggle, by a totally incompetent, lying,corrupt,sexualpervert,senile,frail,sock puppet,fool,installed by the deep state, that is so unfit,unstable,unhinged, idiot, that has no idea,what the hell he’s doing, but screwing america to it’s core. What a pathetic,zero.
Many are taking a political or human rights perspective on this debacle. In fact, by leaving Afghanistan we open the door for China to make deals with tribal leaders that will give them control of the country’s incredible rare earth elements. China already controls the majority of those minerals – this eventuality will secure their dominance. You greenies have no idea how crippling this is to your dreams of a non-fossil fuel future.
Prime example of the leadership we have had for the last 50 years ..how many wars have we won ?..how many good guy lost his life listening to that horseshit go fight for our freedom..give your life for your country..and for what ? So some brain dead general can pin another medal on his chest or some idiot who thinks communism is just wonderful as long as he is in charge..it is fools like that who keep the world in turmoil
