[QUOTE="ArmenianJohn, post: 76257678, member: 324023"] It seems that [USER=134829]@Belk[/USER] is the one who can mark the difference that you and some others can't. When it is reported that someone wants to leave somewhere but "is unable to" that covers a wide range of things, including being held hostage as well as not having the proper documentation, not being able to afford it, not being healthy enough, etc. When you assume that out of all the reasons for being "unable" to leave a country the only possibility is "they are held hostage" then you are jumping to a conclusion. I've already pointed out that there are commercial flights going in and out of Kabul already. Where are the news stories reporting that people can't get on commercial filghts to leave Kabul? I see no such reports. The only reports I've seen are from 3 weeks ago stating that CHARTER flights were not being permitted to leave. That's all I and any of us actually know. We also know some people's opinions that some Americans "are unable to leave". We don't know why they are unable to. Some likely have health issues, some probably don't have the money, some of them may have expired passports or other documentation problems. Just the opinions of some mysterious "sources" is suspect to begin with - these are subjective opininos of a couple of people who are not even identified and are certainly not identified as trustworthy, high-ranking officials. There are only a couple of such reports, meaning the reporters could have made mistakes in how they reported the information, because no other reporters are able to corroborate those stories. This whole story appears to be Hannity's latest thing and nothing more. [/QUOTE]
