Afghanistan: Sky News correspondent sees Kabul airport mayhem and then bodies covered in white sheets amid evacuation scramble
The US embassy in Afghanistan has advised American citizens to avoid traveling to Kabul's airport due to "potential security threats".
Just yesterday Joe Biden said they knew of no examples where Americans couldn't get to the airport and the next day they're releasing a security alert telling Americans that it's not safe even at the airport gates. https://t.co/mg4PB3WjRA

Potential Islamic State threats against Americans in Afghanistan are forcing the U.S. military to develop new ways to get them out. U.S. citizens have been told not to go to the Kabul airport without instruction from a U.S. government representative. https://t.co/Pfc4fLXH2D
But Biden said
Biden: "I have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world."
Armin Laschet, Merkel's choice for successor in Germany: "It's the biggest debacle that NATO has suffered since its creation."

The Taliban has placed security for Kabul in the hands of the Haqqani Network, which has a long-standing association with al-Qaida. https://t.co/0cez4gKb0x cc: @JoeBiden

Hardline Haqqani Network Put in Charge of Kabul Security
The Taliban has placed security for the Afghan capital, Kabul, in the hands of senior members of the Haqqani Network, which has close ties with foreign jihadist groups including a long-standing association with al-Qaida. Western intelligence officials say…
This is how the Taliban propaganda machine is mocking the United States under the Biden administration.
Notice the U.S.-made weapons & equipment.

Biden’s problem: He said Americans are not having difficulties getting 2the airport. They are. He said Al Qaeda isn’t in Afghanistan. They are. He said foreign leaders are not criticizing his handling of the withdrawal. They are. His judgement and explanations are deeply flawed.

-The airport "gates" are now closed, per the Times.
-An estimated 17K Americans are effectively cuttoff, per the State Department.

Evacuations continued from the Kabul airport on Saturday after a backlog of evacuees caused an 8 hour pause in flights on Friday. The subsequent chaos caused empty flights last night, with two flights carrying just seven and eight people.
If I’m not mistaken, we haven’t seen transport aircraft at #Kabul dropping flares until today — that’s a clear indication of concern about a surface-to-air missile threat…
