Four months after President Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan bugout, the State Department is boasting that under a dozen Americans who want to get out remain stuck there.
Why should we believe that? For weeks after the chaotic retreat, Team Biden kept claiming it left only 100 or so US citizens behind, yet State now says it has “directly assisted” 479 Americans and 450 green-card holders (plus their immediate families) in getting back to America since the Aug. 31 military evacuation. And hundreds more got out without much State Department help.
Nor is State discussing just how many green-card holders — legal US residents — remain.
