PJM: The Biden administration has so far refused to assist the private groups engaged in an ad hoc effort to evacuate Americans still in Afghanistan after the U.S. military left the country on August 30. Many of the groups report that the state department was actively obstructing their efforts to get Americans out of the country.
Politico is reporting that on Tuesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley submitted a recommendation to the White House for the administration to create a “public/private partnership” with the groups that have been working to evacuate American citizens and at-risk Afghans from the country.
Milley met with several representatives from the private groups to inform them of the decision to pool resources and smooth the way for evacuees to reach safety.
Under the proposal discussed at the meeting, the U.S. government, including both the Pentagon and the State Department, would act as the central point of contact for the various groups coordinating rescues.
“Once approved, we would then work as a fusion center for all of our organizations to deconflict the ground and air space,” according to the readout. “This will permit us to move people and get them to safety — providing top cover for all that we do.”
One of the big problems with the privately run evacuation has been the Biden administration’s failure to supply the groups with a definitive list of Americans and at-risk Afghans still in the country. Because of that, there has been some duplication of names with some evacuees appearing on a list of those who remain in Afghanistan while they were already in the United States. read more
Are you people stupid?
He’s just flushing you out to save the Taliban the trouble of hunting you, all part of the agreement…
Do not trust them. They have not told the truth about any of this. It is a set up.
He’s trying to figure out how to stop the private groups.
They’re making him and Austin and the entire administration look like idiots. Which they are.
Either that or he’s upset that the private groups are speaking up and not letting the WH take credit for rescues.

Wait just a darned minute…didn’t Joe tell us less than a week ago, that “every American who wanted out, got out.”? (yes, he did). So what’s THIS all about???
Something will come of it, he will stop them, maybe even have them shot down.

“Will Anything Come of It?”
Yes. Lies, betrayal, death, and all with infuriating impunity.
Milley is a disgrace, one worthless, gutless coward. Maybe he should hide out with Barney Fwank til this blows over.
Shouldn’t he and his staff be making a trip to Afghanistan to personally encourage them to have a change of heart regarding how they actually do regard women and homosexuals?
“Once approved, we would then work as a fusion center for all of our organizations to deconflict the ground and air space…”
B’cause we didn’t fuk it enough the first time…we’d like another go at it.
Take yer fusion center and stick it up your lily white ass Milley. How’s that for white rage?

Phoney baloney General Asshole is just following orders.
