    The State Department has acknowledged on the record that only a small percentage of SIV applicants got out. So perhaps most of what you think you know is correct.

    Afghanistan will fade from the news, but process of integrating thousands of our heroic Afghan allies and their families into America is enormous. A massive grass roots effort is required. Navigating a new land. Learning English. Jobs. Schools. The hardest part is yet to come.

    "As far as the spies knew, Biden intended to withdraw troops as he promised: “responsibly, deliberately. . . in full coordination with our allies.” Yet the U.S. pullout from Bagram shows the opposite. U.S. troops shut off the electricity and left in the middle of the night."

    "This outcome was completely avoidable. Had the administration listened to the many calls for an evacuation since the first announcement of the withdrawal timeline back in April, the evacuation could have taken place alongside the U.S. military withdrawal instead of afterward.”
