jordanlund, 3 months ago Oh, no, in fact Biden was told an evacuation like that could NOT be done in the timeframe and they went with it anyway. www.cnn.com/2021/06/04/politics/…/index.html “The bipartisan lawmakers contended that the existing process for Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants will not work. “It takes an average of 800+ days, and we plan to withdraw in less than 100 days,”” That’s where Guam stepped up and said “hey, we’ll take them, let us help!” and were ignored. If the process takes more than 800 days, you either expedite that process, or remove them to a location where they can safely wait out the process. The Biden administration chose “none of the above”.
