Pentagon: 117,000 Evacuated from Kabul; 5,400 Americans Citizens
Pentagon: 117,000 Evacuated from Kabul; 5,400 Americans Citizens
by KRISTINA WONG 28 Aug 2021
The Pentagon said Saturday morning at a briefing that as of August 14, about 117,000 people have been evacuated from Kabul, including 5,400 Americans.
That number is far short of the 11,000 Americans who were estimated to still be inside Afghanistan given by White House press secretary Jen Psaki last week.

Psaki said on August 17 during a briefing:
We are — there have been — how the process works, I should say — I’ll tell you — is that there are individuals who will self-identify as American citizens — that number is around 11,000. Beyond that — around the country — beyond that, though, there are individuals who may not have self-identified, who may come and request assistance and come to the airport.
We’re going to work to assist, of course, American citizens, but we also have a responsibility and an obligation to help the men and women who served by our sides, many of your — the sides of your colleagues, as translators, and as interpreters, and our locally employed staff, and others.
Earlier this week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed that only about 1,500 Americans were left in the country.
Biden administration officials have said it is difficult to know exactly how many Americans are left in Afghanistan, since not everyone registers with the State Department upon entering or exiting.

We owe these people NOTHING!
We spent 2 trillion, 20 years, lost our lives.
We are paid in full.
Keep them all in the Middle East. Take out that cesspool, and then send them BACK home where they belong.ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM
DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL
