In a move no one can grasp, U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American
citizens, green card holders, and Afghan allies, believing the Taliban would
allow them to enter the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s
airport. Lawmakers and military officials are outraged.
The insane move was
designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Kabul
by the August 31 deadline. It also came as the Biden administration began
relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport. ISIS-K has since
set up forces around the soon-to-be-renamed Hamid Karzai International Airport.
FAST
FACT: The
Taliban has a history of executing Afghans who have worked with American and
NATO forces.
“Basically, they just put all those Afghans
on a kill list,” said one defense official, who, like others,
spoke on condition of anonymity. “It’s just appalling and shocking and makes you
feel unclean.”
The region surrounding the Kabul airport is out of control. More attacks are expected.
President Biden assured the nation there wouldn’t be a
“Saigon moment” in Kabul, but thus far it seems far worse.
The U.S. recently pulled out military personnel, only
to return several thousand more to help with the evacuation.
