Well looks like the 2 Fools on here TRT and Quooter once again proved wrong

Blinken also denied claims by Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, that the Taliban was holding American citizens and Afghan allies at the airport hostage until the United States recognized the militant group as the rightful rulers of Afghanistan.

“We are not aware of anyone being held on an aircraft or any hostage-like situation in Mazar-i-Sharif,” Blinken said. “So we have to work through the different requirements, and that’s exactly what we’re doing.”

TRT let me give you some good advice. When Quooter post something you should wait at least 24 hours befor you jump on the band wagon with him that way he won't make a fool out of you.

What a moron. There are, depending on whom you believe, between 100 and 500 or more American citizens who want to come home to the U.S. but were stranded in Afghanistan by Joe Biden. Either the Biden Administration is refusing to allow them to leave or the Taliban is refusing to allow them to leave. The bottom line is that Biden abandoned them in a country that is now controlled by terrorists.

A careful reader with a good understanding of the English language will read Blinken's statement and understand that it is nonsense. When he says that "We are not aware of anyone being held on an aircraft or any hostage-like situation in Mazar-i-Sharif," that means that: 1) the allegation could be true but the State Department does not know about it, 2) there are hostages but they are no longer at Mazar-i-Sharif, or that the Taliban are calling the Americans guests and treating them well, or 4) anything else. "we have to work through different requirements" could mean: 1) the Biden administration is making arrangements to be a ransom to secure the release of the Americans, 2) the Taliban has demanded additional documentation, such as a list of all Americans abandoned in Afghanistan, so that they can be sure that they have rounded up all of them, or 3) anything else.

Blinken's statement was deliberately vague to allow morons to interpret it however they want. Diplomats are good at lying by omission. Nothing changes the fact that Americans are stuck in Afghanistan and it is nobody's fault but Joe Biden's.
