Exclusive whistleblower report from Kabul Airport. It is worse than we think

KABUL: CDN has received information from a military officer on the ground in Kabul, Afghanistan. Stationed at the Hamid Karzai International Airport, he feels that Americans do not understand the gravity of the situation on the ground. His assessment? Our situation is grave, and quickly deteriorating.

The evacuation at Kabul is hampered by one crisis, after another

The first, and most important, is that there is no more jet fuel available at the airport. And none is expected to arrive. This means that the C-17 transports, and civilian airliners who are now a part of the evacuation, need to land with sufficient fuel to take off again.

The civilian aircraft must have fuel enough to fly to a base close enough to land and refuel.

Air Force transports need enough fuel to take off and then meet a refueling tanker to make it to their destination. As often as aerial refueling takes place, accidents do happen, from disastrous to minor, like a clogged refueling head. With a C-17 fully loaded with 600+ passengers, a minor problem quickly becomes a catastrophe.

Presently there are 10,000 (or so) American citizens surrounded inside Kabul.

Other estimates are that the number, not just in Kabul but in surrounding towns, is closer to 100,000. Add in the Afghanis we are morally obliged to assist and that number could be 250,00. The Biden administration has no idea of the exact number. No one does.

Reports are making their way that indicate that the Taliban is not allowing safe passage for American citizens to the airport. In fact, some who have made it to the airport stated that they were beaten by the Taliban. Once at the airport, there is complete chaos. Security forces have been unable to get things under control.

Biden and his spokesperson, Psaki, claim over and over no one is being stranded in one breath. And then suggest those that are stranded check the .gov websites. The message being that everyone must make it to the airport on their own. And you will be billed.
