Afghanistan Update - August 27

Welcome to "Woke America".

AFGHAN DEATH TOLL IS NOW AT LEAST 95 FOLLOWING KABUL AIRPORT BOMBING; 13 US SERVICE MEMBERS DEAD

Raising eyebrows Thursday was the revelation that the Biden administration gave the Taliban names of Americans and Afghan allies to allow through checkpoints into the Kabul airport, which many said amounted to handing a kill list to terrorists.

The situation in Afghanistan remains tenuous with American troops still on the ground at the Kabul airport and many Americans and Afghans still to be evacuated. A source briefed on the situation in Kabul told Fox News that despite White House reassurances that evacuations are continuing, it is almost a certainty that some Americans and many allies will be left behind in Kabul as the president aims to stick to his August 31 deadline to have all Americans out.

Biden said Thursday that the government will aim to continue to get Americans out of Afghanistan even after August 31, but it's not clear how that would happen if it is going to cede the Kabul airport – the only place in Afghanistan not controlled by the Taliban. Some have warned stranded Americans after August 31 could lead to a version of a hostage crisis for the president.
