JUST IN: 'I'm here to announce the completion of our withdrawal from Afghanistan and the end of the military mission to evacuate American citizens,' Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., U.S. CENTCOM commander, announces at Pentagon press briefing.

While White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the U.S. military is continuing to evacuate Americans for as long as it can ahead of Biden’s deadline, she was asked if the White House has a message to Americans who may get left behind that still want to get out.

She went on to outline a few ongoing steps the Biden administration is taking to ensure evacuations beyond Aug. 31, leaning heavily on Secretary of State Antony Blinken meeting with international partners and their putting pressure on the Taliban to keep the airport in Kabul open for safe passage.

All These Want to be Expert Monday Night Sofa QBs & Coaches on CNN & & other Media & Press & GOP talking about Afghanistan & POTUS this and that and all of them did nothing to end The War in Afghanistan & Keep US Troops alive, only want a War & US Troops be Kill!?!

Although I feel sorry for the people of Afghanistan who don't support the the Taliban I'm glad we have left this unending occupation.

This will go down as one of the saddest photos ever taken “Last Soldier leaves Afghanistan as American turns its back on other Americans”.

And this is to whom it may concern 😟👇

You left Charlotte from KSAnimalRescue how could you?You left behind those who rescue others. A young woman who tried desperately to find a plane for herself and her charges. She sat at the airport for days with false promises and hope. Just heartbroken for her.

And how many dogs, US,United Shames?

The Biden administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan has made those who want to make friends with the United States think about their future.

Obviously, despite the advance notice, the thousands of US & other foreigners felt like there was no need to evacuate. Any idea how many left btwn announcement date & when SHTF?

The withdrawal did not end, but stopped under pressure from the Taliban. Saving America starts with firing Biden, Harris and Pelosi.

They had weeks. Guess they’ll have to work with the Taliban

After handling the withdrawal so well we totally believe you!!!

Why did they wait until the absolute last minute!! The state department told them in April to begin evacuating…..

'Under 200 and likely closer to 100' That didn't sit right with you either, did it?

God Bless him🙏🏼🇺🇸

Good job., I’m glad he got out safe and alive!

US Govt left an American citizen behind after six days at airport. No one was in the airport because Charlotte and her dogs were forced out. The troops released the dogs and left Charlotte Maxwell holding a disabled puppy. OperationHercules LeaveNoOneBehind NoPawsLeftBehind

Great. All the Americans left behind can peacefully be sent to heaven on September 11th. Just to remind us that the terrorists still hate us.

jkbjournalist We got beat by a bunch of guys in Toyota pickup trucks. Wearing sandals.

They should've taken KSAnimalRescue's animals with them 💔

After 20 years of conflict in Afghanistan... Peace to the fallen And those left behind may God protect them and may they receive salvation from all harm brewing in the country.

America lost its value.

300 AMERICANS LEFT BEHIND

Sad day

But not the last American who wanted to get out!

Of course it’s an 82nd Airborne paratrooper . Best of the best .

Nope we still have a Navy soldier there!

I don't believe nothing that comes out of their mouth. The government will only protect the government.

Never in my life did I think we would leave Americans behind. We have done stealth operations to rescue 1 American before but we knowingly are leaving these people behind? I feel less safe as an American today.

Dr_H_USA87 اخذني وياك حجي 🥲

At this point any American still there is still there because they CHOSE not to leave...NOT because they were 'left behind.' Let's be clear about that...this is THEIR CHOICE, not a supposed 'failure' of the military or gov't.

Republicans: Biden got out of Afghanistan too fast. ALSO Republicans: Biden took too long he should have gotten out in May like Trump promised the Taliban.

The wrong way 😞

How many did you leave behind? IOT announce that the withdrawal is complete before the Talibans demand we had till the 31st

Is this for fucking real? Are they actually bragging about this shit show?

I’ve seen so many videos of troops going in still, fake fuckin news once again. Just another Biden feel good story.

So how many Americans and allies did he leave behind? Along with all our weapons. Worse administration ever.

Does anyone think our country and world is a safer place now? This is a catastrophe and will define the Biden legacy.

And the incompetence of Joe Biden and his administration.

Wow brilliant ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Biden’s giving stimmy black hawks for his Taliban to hang people from

What about all of our weapons and military left behind Guess we are ok with funding the taliban army now

Thank you POTUS Biden.

They (any remaining Americans) didn’t make it to the airport so we couldn’t help them. Unacceptable.

💔💔💔

now the humanitarian efforts can continue to get more people out

It's official now The Afghan war was the most useless war in history

Thank You President Biden! Welcome Home Troops !!! 🇺🇲 🇺🇲 🇺🇲

Amazing. All these people think that they had months to get out. Civilians yes but not the military. Like they can tell their superiors I'm done time to leave. But how? And with what? Trump removed billions of $ worth of military equipment, left only 2000 troops and signed a withdrawal deal with the Taliban. Tramp administration also refused any transfer of information. GOP has used this for party politics at the cost of lives.

WSJ News Exclusive | Uzbekistan Warns U.S. That Afghan Pilots and Their Families Can’t StayUzbekistan is urging Washington to act quickly to take a group of U.S.-trained Afghan airmen who fled there two weeks ago to a third country to avoid inflaming relations with the Taliban. Wow US Air Force should fly in some c-17s to collect all the aircraft and pilots now stranded there. Sounds like it will be a lot less hostile than the Kabul Airport
