With Kabul in chaos, four U.S. Marines dead after a terrorist attack, and Americans left with days, if not hours, to evacuate Afghanistan, time is running out for the Biden administration to save our citizens and our allies. But despite Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s assurances that just 1,500 Americans remain in the Taliban-run country, the math simply doesn’t add up.

Last week, the Pentagon told the press that 10,000 Americans remained in Afghanistan as Kabul fell. The White House said that figure was 11,000. Then the State Department told Senate staffers that the number was 15,000.
