The Biden team has been bragging about getting more people out of the Kabul airport, but CNN’s Clarissa Ward burned that claim by saying that there hadn’t been any flights out in the eight hours that she’s been sitting there outside the airport.

CNN’s @clarissaward in Kabul: “I'm sitting here for 12 hours in the airport, 8 hours on the airfield and I haven't seen a single US plane take off. How on Earth are you going to evacuate 50,000 people in the next two weeks? It just, it can’t happen.”

#BREAKING from CNN's @ClarissaWard: "During the last eight hours, the time that we've been waiting here, we have not seen a single U.S. flight evacuate people. We saw one U.S. flight took off about half an hour to an hour ago but it was filled with U.S. servicemen and women." pic.twitter.com/rVtP7VMIOj

More from Clarissa Ward: “A few hrs ago, there was a nasty looking storm on the the horizon. However, I would say that…other flights do seem to be taking off…I don’t want to tell you what the bathrooms look like, Kate, because there’s about three stalls for 500 people.” pic.twitter.com/lNVVDjQpFj

Ward: “What is sort of striking about this is that the people who are…loading their babies over razor wire hoping that an American soldier might catch it…How on Earth are you going to evacuate 50,000 people in the next two weeks? It just, it can’t happen.” pic.twitter.com/ujbeoMG7JV

Ward: “It’s not that often that you will find a soldier just start weeping in the middle of a conversation with you in the at 11:00 in the morning, but…that is the level of horror that they’re witnessing and I think for a lot of them, that is the level of guilt they’re feeling” pic.twitter.com/gWZz2xabmg

Ward: “I’ve now spent more than 12 hrs watching this whole process…It is very disorganized and privately, off the record, these guys will tell you that…I’m watching children coming up to me and saying, ‘please could you get me some food?’…Why did it have to be this way???” pic.twitter.com/HKx6RNpKy5

Ward: “I don’t think they really care about hearing from the President to be honest. I had a few people make comments to me like, ‘you know, America is supposed to be the greatest superpower in the world. What is the hell is going on here?!’….They want action.” pic.twitter.com/b6LcIr3XWB

There were these heartbreaking scenes outside the airport, with elderly and disabled people who were being beaten by the Taliban with a whip.

Turns out that Ward was more accurate than the Biden team. Now the Biden administration is admitting there was a “pause” to the flights because of a backlog of people being processed in Qatar and they may have to route some people to Europe. What? Turns out Qatar wouldn’t take anymore and it sounds like “We planned for everything” Joe Biden didn’t plan for that eventuality either.

Soldiers by the runway at Kabul airport tell me that there are 10,000 people here processed and ready to go… but nowhere to fly them to because Qatar is refusing to accept more Afghans because they’ve reached capacity. “It’s abysmal… someone needs to step up.”

So now they’re looking to Europe for possibilities and saying they will start the flights up again. How do you not have more than one place to take them? How do you not account for this? But that’s why they are now saying there was a pause, with untold thousands still needing to get out.

This is just a mess. This is worse than Saigon ever was.
