The Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan was not just “chaotic”; it was the worst example of government ineptitude in generations. The president will never live it down, especially because the surrender was completely unnecessary and led to hundreds, if not thousands, of dead civilians in a short period of time.
The drive-by media quickly moved on by Labor Day, but some organizations still have correspondents in the country or region.
Last week, the Sacramento Bee reported that dozens of American students are still trapped in Afghanistan: “San Juan Unified School District officials last week said 41 students were trapped in Afghanistan — a sharp increase from the two-dozen-or-so the district had previously identified. Of the 41 kids, three were evacuated over the weekend from the war-torn country but remain overseas, district officials said.”
Rescuing American civilians from Taliban-held territory is the government’s responsibility and should come before a “Civilian Climate Corps,” hiring 87,000 new IRS agents, or bloated progressive welfare legislation.

Meanwhile, despite claims by the current administration that efforts to liberate other Americans and our allies from Afghanistan are ongoing, story after story shows that the abandonment of important civilians behind enemy lines continues.
