    The limiting factor in evacuating Afghans right now is our refusal to fly them to US territory and finish the paperwork there. This capricious administrative decision is costing lives and has no justification beyond American xenophobia.https://twitter.com/EenaRuffini/status/1428715951185334280 …

    NEW: there was a stop in evacuation flights overnight because of the need to find receiving facilities to house evacuees from #afghanistan, since Doha has reached capacity. As reported below, flights should resume and start flying to Bahrain this afternoon. (W/David Martin) https://twitter.com/EenaRuffini/status/1428698069558861826 …

        No one in the State Department or administration has adequately explained why the bureaucratic fan dance of processing applications has to happen in horrific conditions outside Kabul airport. We can absorb any number of refugees, and vet them for as long as we want to on Guam.

        I think we all understand the real reason—Biden thinks it's unacceptable to give random Afghans access to US courts and a chance at a new life here. So our current Afghan policy is some mix of State Department caprice and soldiers deciding which baby to lift over the razor wire.

        That last part is not bombast. It's U.S. soldiers who are again being made to enforce a craven policy decision in Afghanistan, this time by a president who makes a fetish of his capacity for empathy.pic.twitter.com/TG7NOndn5J

        So many people making excuses for the inexcusable. If only our military had the ability to move and house large numbers of people on short notice, or any place to put up a tent!

        Here's the State Department making the preposterous claim that the US military, which occupied the country a month ago, can't leave the airport. The reality is the US is depending on the Taliban to restrict access to the airport to minimize the number of refugees on our hands.pic.twitter.com/VAjTnE4QUF

        American official policy has long been that we can put 5,000 soldiers on the ground in any part of the world within 24 hours. Now we've added to it the caveat that they're incapable of performing any mission beyond securing an undefended airport.

        The complete political panic over accepting refugees means we have to rely on imprudent excuses like "our military is too weak", and are missing an opportunity to demonstrate American values instead of just preaching them. What a wasted opportunity and display of moral cowardice.

        Even if you think Afghan lives are worth nothing, there are endless GAME THEORY reasons to keep our commitments to people who helped our occupation forces at great personal risk. Looking weak, confused, and scared of our own closest allies hurts American national security.

        Just to say it clearly again, the US is telling Afghans eligible for evacuation to come to the airport, while at the same time relying on the Taliban cordon around the airport to make that impossible.https://twitter.com/EenaRuffini/status/1428771006332743686 …

        The State Department is telling people to come to the airport. They tell me they get there and the Taliban is then beating them for working with the Americans. I've talked to three families in the last hour with the proper paperwork who cant get in.

        Xenophobia is often a useful default setting. In this case, very useful.
