the air, they capture a large cash of american weapons, they have their own weapons, we have to assume the worst and that is how military planners are looking at it now. they are assuming the worst, expecting the worst, preparing a response for that. one of the most concerning things, the fact that he said they have the capability to shoot these planes down and the airplane that was they are telling people to come to the airport and now telling people to leave the airport but saying you need to evacuate. what are these people supposed to do? i m sure their old up someplace in fear of their life. montgomery granger is a good low guard so he knows what they are talking about. i want to outline the back story from a new york times report and i saw this post on twitter
thoughts and prayers all trapped in kabul to the decision makers who need thoughts and prayers big time right now. he is still in kabul. he is still trapped. the latest update that i got the last transmission was talking about how the afghani social media, the taliban are telling people to stay at home and that they re not to travel to the airport, especially without foreigners. so if you are afghani, they want you staying there. and he still tells me that there is checkpoints on every intersection and searches going on. so it s a very contentious situation. as far as what i m being told. ashley: and then as far as, you know, the interpreters hiding out, is it safe to say that there are thousands of people that we are just unaware of that are doing the exact same thing, just solely based on the fear of really moving from where they
