An email leaked from the State Department revealed that White House would not grant permission for private charter flights with American citizens on board to land at Defense Department airbases.
Additionally, the State Department would not grant approval for private flights containing people fleeing from Afghanistan to land in third countries, despite acknowledging that their authorization would most likely be required for evacuation flights to land.
Attorney Eric Montalvo, a retired JAG officer and Marine corps Major, has helped organize the private charters to evacuate around 1,000 people. But the six planes intended to fly them out of the country have been awaiting clearance to depart for days, as negotiations between the Taliban, the United States and Qatar have dragged on.
“The Taliban are not holding the planes hostage.” remarked Montalvo, who shared an email from a State Department official detailing the obstacles the private flights face after the United States military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
“No independent charters are allowed to land at [Al Udeid Air Base], the military airbase you mentioned in your communication with Samantha Power,” the official stated in the Sept. 1 email.
“In fact, no charters are allowed to land at an [sic] DoD base and most if not all countries in the Middle Eastern region, with the exception of perhaps Saudi Arabia will allow charters to land,” the email read. “You need to find another destination country, and it can’t be the U.S. either.”
The official said that the State Department “will not provide” the approval that some third countries may require to accept the private flights.
“Once you have had discussions with the host/destination country and reached an agreement, they may require some indication from the USG that we ‘approve’ of this charter flight,” the email concluded. “DOS will not provide an approval, but we will provide a ‘no objection’ to the destination country government via the U.S. Embassy in that country.”

That’s what happens when you have a weak president.
You mean a person that is not really a president.
t an [sic] DoD base and most if n
Yep it’s low cause hardly anyone voted for him.
I heard he the dead vote
You Mean A Imorral Corrupt FOOL as a president ! I’m Still Waiting for the REAL POTUS To Come Back ! WE NEED HIM ! NOW !
Quantum Shift radio show said Trump was reinstated Aug 23 at 2:30 AM by new generals in the DOD. It’s slowly coming out.
This Country needs Trump desperately
It’s much worse than a weak or false president. Our government is dominated by treasonous globalists who actually run the nation from behind the curtain and use poor mentally weak Joe as their front to take all of the flak.
I feel so sorry for Jill B. – She must be humiliated beyond repair. Everyone sees what he is doing about abortion; trying to make sure it will happen. Let’s pray for her soul.
“dr. Jill is one of the puppeteers! Save your tears for America!
Yep, she is complicit in pulling his strings. I wonder if she knows something about his removal? She has bone back to teaching according to news reports.
Did you see the look on her face while the old man was sworn in? Very sad unlike Melania who was beaming with pride!
Jill is just as complicit as Dementia Joe.
JOE GOTTA GO!
yes this is true.. I call the bosses the super rich. They have tons of money to get their agenda and that means they tell everyone what to do because we are not smart enough to run our own lives. Biden is not just a patsy. He is fully culpable and guilty of treason as he wants the same things, just because he is a paid patsy doen’t mean he doesn’t support. Now just the fact that he ssold out is reason enough. All of these politicians have done the same thing and this is a big dog and pony show and has been for years. Well maybe not all pof the poltiicians but the vast majority have and now the courts, the alphebet soup of govt agencies, media, school boards are all either bought out or are so indoctrinated that the same result occurs. Big tech is part of the suoper rich that want complete control. No we are in a world of hurt and hopefully we will get out of this using our laws but that result is looking more and more unlikely. As our forefathers said you have to refresh the tree of freedom with patriot blood…. I hope we realoze this soon.Oh and first step should be to take these super rich out completely, either by law, hopefully, or ?????
Maybe Joe will be the catalyst for term limits. We need ordinary people in office who understand everyday struggles. Not politicians who are bought and paid who’s biggest concern is the next election.
Barack Obama is not that weak — neither is the OTHER US President, Xi Jinping
Obama is just a messenger boy for those telling Biden what to do and say.
No Experience Needed, No Boss Over il Your D Shoulder… Say Goodbye To Your Old Job! Limited Number Of Spots Open……. payit12.tk
Jelly Joe? a weak president? nahhh just a weak human being and Pro communist dictator
Not only a weak President but a weak Cabinet and Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Chief of Staff. Backing them up is a weak, crooked, lying group called the Democrats who never stop griping about everything that is not something they did, where the real trouble lies. Useless bunch of babies.
thinking that the ccp and xi jingping be verly happy that their boy be trashing the USA while the leftist idiots in this country hate Trump, the GOP, God, the constitution, capitalism, apple pie, two genders, and conservatives.. (not really sure about the apple pie thing )
What are the Democrats afraid of, that these people will reveal just how bad the Biden Tyranny messed up in Afghanistan??? Or that these are Republican Voters??? Biden’s popularity numbers have dropped below 40%. He has done so much damage to this nation internally and on the global stage his will go down as the most inept administration in history and he as the most damaging to the nation administration. The entire Democrat Crime Cartel own this lash up of a train wreck. Anyone who supports them must hate this nation, support Marxism and want to destroy this nation. Does anyone really realize what his mismanagement has done. In Afghanistan people are either running for their lives or are in hiding. Young girls as young as ( are being raped and married off to terrorist thugs. Christians ans Secular Muslims are being burned alive or having theirs heads slowly sawn off with knives and screw drivers. Where will the next 9/11 event happen??? Think if they have 100 Americans under their thumbs and they decide to stage a mass event to celebrate 9/11. And Uncle Joe presented them with a treasure trove of our equipment, making them the best armed terrorists in the world. Think of the possibilities the Biden Tyranny has opened to them.
TOTALLY TERRIFYING!!!
This is not a weak president, or not really a president. This is a trader who is working for the Taliban leading the country. Virtually everything that has been done so far has been in the interest of the Taliban. It should be obvious to any outside observer what is going on. Yes, there is some effort to make it look like they tried, so the media can give him cover, but there is no doubt which side he is on.
And, Russia, China, Iran, et al. Wait, where’s the USA?
Biden admitted he had no interest in following in Trumps footsteps, of putting America first.
President Trump never served in the military and neither did Biden, but Tru.p would never had anything like this happen. I have been out of the Marine CORPS for better than 43 years and if there was a way for me to get to Afghanistan, I would be there in a heart beat.
Semper Fi leather neck… did some time in that wonderful South East Asia vacation land… just think when the schitt hits the propulsion device (probably real soon) we will not have to fly 13,000 to kill commies.. just drive downtown ..
Looks like the whole planet is against us.
Something is going on, and it points to the actions biden has taken. Since he took office everything has dropped below the human thing,
compassion that nobody has anymore.
Don’t you see? Mullah Barak Hussein is calling the shots, pulling Joe Blow’s puppet strings behind the scenes. He is helping his Muslim Brothers (the JV Team) to get a leg up and screw the Americans.
And, Ol’ Buck said in his presidential campaign that he will leave no American behind. Lies started early, often, and is snowballing, isn’t it? It still amazes me people voted for him.
They didn’t election was stolen!!!!
that piece of stinking snake schitt was lying when he was first elected back in the early 70s ..
& Taliban holds 6 plane hostages too to date
It is so amazing that so many think that the USA can just do as it pleases in these situations, when in fact other countries have their own rules and regulations, and most have a joint agreement with the USA and other Countries as well. Now so many on these sites do not want those Muslims coming here and the vast majority of those Americans in Afghanistan are if Afghan heritage, but are actually US Citizens, all are of the Muslim religion. Now one American Citizen who was contacted by phone said he was fearful of leaving because his extended family was there and no one to care for his ill mother.
Those that make this political just make it harder for everyone involved.
other cesspools have their own regulations, terrorists, murderers, and commie clowns hoping to emulate stalin, castro, mooosaliniweeeni, hirohito and dozens of other murdering clowns like that palestinian ahole, yesarfar arofathole … those that are having difficulty staying alive in Afghanistan would not have that problem if they were to get rid of the radicals and a Real President was in the WH instead of that worthless criminal sob joey … something that the USA needs to do today right here on Main Street USA…
Why is anyone surprised. There is no depths that they will sink to that are too low. WAKE UP, THEY COMMITTED BLATANT FRAUD TO STEAL GOVERNMENT, and ARE NOW DOING DAMAGE CONTROL TO HIDE IT ALL. WE ALL KNOW. NO ONE GOES TO THESE LENGTHS TO PROVE THEY ARE LEGITIMATE. THEY LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING. THEY WANT TO FORCE 2/3 OF POPULATION, THE UNVAXED TO GET POISON JAB, WHILE ALLOWING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF AFGHANS AND ILLEGAL INVADERS TO WALTZ IN UNVAXED AND LIKELY INFECTED. THEY WANT TO TAKE OUR GUNS AFTER GIVING TERRORISTS AN ARSENAL OF WEAPONS WE PAID FOR. WAKE UP.
I can’t think of a more extraordinary example of outright incompetence. If he doesn’t resign soon, we will be facing a constitutional crisis of unprecedented scale.
These communists are determined to transfer our wealth to Islamic terrorists and likely hide a slush fund for themselves. They don’t want upstanding private citizens interfering!
Biden now works for the Taliban and China. The betrayed people who worked for us, would not tend to vote Democratic. Just as Biden sends Republican Cubans back to Cuba, he now wants the Taliban to exterminate these people, who would not vote for welfare and socialism, if they made it to the US.
It’s time for Myanmar 2.0, the Military needs to come in and clean out this CRIMINAL Administration, from the top down, they’re ALL Criminals. I cannot believe we have reached this level of CORRUPTION! The ENTIRE DemonRat party, their supporters AND many Republicans need to be scrubbed from existence and placed in GITMO until sentenced to public hangings.
Isn’t this what commies do all the time, obstruct??
The Biden administration is the real JV team.
there should not have been a problem, the nutless criminal in the black house surrendered Bagram AB.. what is the issue when the DOD no longer has leadership in the black house.. of course the scum bags in uniform, like milli and that colonel turdo that testified at the sham impeachment trial are coming out of the woodwork .. back stabbing bastards ..
Biden that j .a. and the people under him need to be fired asap.
True, but not because they claim to be Catholics. That’s more craziness.
“Dr.” Jill Biden was only interested in becoming the first lady. That was her goal for years. She was tired of playing second fiddle to – what’s her name. She doesn’t give a damn about anyone else. She is not on my list for prayers.
INSANE !!!!!
” STINKING BLIKEN ” SCREWD UP THE FLIGHTS WITH HIS STUPID ACT ON ALLOWING A TAKE OFF AS NO LANDING HAD BEEN WORKED OUT! IGNORAMOUS HERE FOR A HEAD OF STATE!
BIDEN AND HARRIS AND PELOSI AND ALL THE OTHER DEMOCRAT TRAH ARE PATHETIC
The hell of it is that you do not recognize that Biden, CATHOLIC TRAITOR, initiated the invasion of the USA on his first day in office! From the south they are ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC INVADERS. Look south, BE CATHOLIC OR BE DEAD. Know who the enemy really is….. Half the traitors call themselves r, half d. The only difference between Muslim and “C” is the continent they destroy. Watch the “C” traitors put the ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC “C”INVADERS out in the streets to protest with signs. Watch the ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC “C” INVADERS protest. Watch the ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC “C” INVADERS line up for food stamps. Watch the CATHOLIC “C” traitors denounce the PRESIDENT of the USA! NO CATHOLIC “C” is an American, They are CATHOLICS and support the VATICAN..The Vatican is a foreign, hostile NATION that is at perpetual undeclared war with all nations.
Retired Sen. Phil Gramm shared data demonstrating that when all federal, state and local benefits are fully counted, the bottom 20% have an income roughly equal to the middle class yet their work effort is about 61% less.
This is the SECOND time Biden (CATHOLIC traitor) has abandoned a nation!
The first nation he abandoned was the USA! Biden (CATHOLIC traitor ) deserted the USA on his first day of ‘reign’ to the ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC INVADERS from the south! Now we have over a million ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC INVADERS scattered around the USA in less than six months after his ‘reign’.
The only difference between Muslim and CATHOLIC is the continent they destroy. They destroy their own nation, then move to the next. They bring all the failure, ignorance, poverty, crime, corruption, and demand that their ‘culture’ be honored.
Now he abandoned Afghanistan and so the same story continues!
Vote for ANY CATHOLIC and the USA will look the same as everything south of the USA. Ignorant, poverty ridden, no infrastructure, crime ridden, corrupt to the core is what CATHOLIC traitors bring to the USA.
That’s what happens when a election is stolen and aloud to happen
Useful idiot Biden will be eliminated when he goes to campaign for Newsom in California
He is too much of an embarrasment even for the DNC/Deepstate party
Marxist Newsom requested Harris and Biden both come to support him.
YUP JUST LIKE ” CLINTON ” STYMIED THE BENGHAZI DEATH SCENE ” of 4 REAL AMERICANS!
This communist democrat cult party regime was trying to funnel more money to the tallyban.
And if the number of the first evacuation was 6000 Americans and that was 90% then the remaining 10% is way more that the 100 they claim remain DO THE MATH.
Remove these lying communist democrat cult party members from ALL offices.
period.
Discusting …Embarrassing…WORTHLESS…CLUELESS…STUPID man…DID I FORGET ANYTHING? PLEASE add your adjectives …
Unqualified and working against America’s best interests every opportunity he gets. He admitted he would not put America first and his actions prove he really meant that.
biden crimes againsy americans,thank you joe for the uniforms the night vision gear, your friend the talaban, bidens crimes, have yet to see justice, 500,000 Assault weapons left behind, 22,000 Humvee combat vehicles left behind, 42,000 SUVs left behind, Dozens of UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters left behind. Unkowned amount Americans left behind.
What Did you expect ? The DEMOCRATS lied about everything during the campaign, this is just an extension thowe lies. Just watch FAKE NEWS .
CNN or msmbc? Even after having been proven to have lied to multiple millions of her viewers, radical maddow refused to admit her ‘misinformation/lie’ and refused to take her false and misleading lie down.
Who here thinks Biden should have his balls chopped off….
Especially without pain killers….
