At briefing this morning, they are still refusing to say how many American citizens have been evacuated. Will only say "several thousand".
Refusing to say or just don't know?
How precisely do you expect "them" to know the exact number?
Who would even be responsible for keeping such a count, in a fast-evolving situation with a number in the thousands and changing hourly?
Godalmighty. I don't know why it continues to surprise me when you justify Biden admin incompetence. How would they know? Lol. By counting, maybe????
I'm not justifying anything.
I think it's stupid to not change your expectations based on the **** show first 48 hours of the evacuation.
You had people falling off landing gear of military transport planes as they took off. You had fire fights outside the airport. You had Afghani's handing babies to soldiers over barbed wire and toddlers getting trampled to death amidst the chaos.
It's obvious this was a huge cluster**** from the beginning so no, I don't see that and then have some expectation of extremely precise recordkeeping in the midst of that pandemonium.
It's dumb to see that chaos and then ask why Psaki can't provide an exact running headcount. It's obvious why she can't. It was a huge cluster****.
Just wow. Civ you claimed it would take you 10 mins on your couch to come up with a plan to distribute covid vaccine around the US. Something that has never been done before. But you struggle with having the count of Americans around the world which is something easily to get due to documentation systems (passports). SMH
Ha! Good memory Cthepack but in fairness I'm pretty sure I outlined a plan that I said I came up with in 10 minutes while laying on my couch sipping bourbon, that was a better plan than "just let CVS and Walgreens handle it."
The irony is you could say the same thing about the Afghanistan exit, and you may not be wrong.
And for the tenth time on this thread, the issue isn't knowing how many Americans are in Afghanistan, or being able to count heads on planes; it's that the fog of the really ****ed up first 48 hours may render an accurate count impossible.
If you're counting 50 groups of numbers and **** up the first 10 groups, you can count until the end of time but your answer will be wrong because early inputs were wrong.
