Welcome back to the 1970's except this time Jimmy Carter also has dementia. I wonder how many Billions the Biden administration will pay the Taliban to make these "public" problems go away before it impacts their polling?

the Taliban is blocking a half dozen planes with American citizens and permanent residents, as well as Afghan interpreters, from departing Afghanistan, accusing the militant group of holding the flights “hostage.”
Marina LeGree, the executive director of Ascend, an NGO that offers young women “athletics-based leadership training,” told Forbes she knows of between 600 and 1200 people including 19 U.S. citizens and 2 green card holders waiting nearby the airport, but that there are “probably more.”
LeGree said the group includes female mountaineers, NGO workers, journalist and women at risk, and that her understanding is the Taliban is negotiating with Afghan airline Kam Air over price – though she added, “For 6 days, who knows.”

Your buddy Trump opened the floodgates by negotiating with and releasing these terrorists.
What they want is to be recognized, and if we do that to get these people out of there, you'll criticize that too.

President Biden says the Taliban can be trusted now. They are our new allies.
Instead of worrying about the people and hoping for their safe return you focus on the object of your very serious obsession, not thinking for even a minute there are probably plans in motion. Nice.
Six private charter planes seeking to evacuate at least 1,000 people—including more than 100 Americans—out of Afghanistan have been grounded by the Taliban amid negotiations with the U.S. State Department, an official with an NGO working on the evacuation told Newsweek.
The would-be passengers have yet to board the planes in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif, which were chartered by Mercury One, a charity founded by Christian conservative media personality Glenn Beck.Link

Wrong, sock puppet.

In 2014 Obama released the current leadership of the taliban. it was in exchange of a american service member who tried to run away/AWOL and was captured by the terrorist. they were called the taliban 5.
Those links you provided are NOT the same people.
