USA Today: Latest from Afghanistan: All gates at Kabul airport closed as thousands left desperate to evacuate 

All gates at Hamid Karzai International Airport were closed Saturday because of a backup at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, according to a Defense department official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

I hope the military takes over DC, holds new elections, arrests the traitors, Pelosi at al, and then sends them to the Taliban.

I'd watch that even on pay TV.:))
The entire world would pay for this.
And send Miley and Schiff too
