It was the rescue mission that didn’t happen.
A large group of Afghan interpreters and their families were gathered together by Canadian government officials in a group and waited all day and night for the heroes to come and take them into the safe confines of the Kabul airport.
But no one ever came.
“We are devastated,” said one the interpreters.
“We really thought this was it.”
It won’t go down in the books as the courageous rescue so many had hoped for. It will go down as a missed opportunity. Instead they were abandoned yet again. This time by a gas station that was supposed to the staging place. Instead they were texted to “go back to your safe houses.”
Must be somebody in Ottawa who suggested that. There is nowhere safe in Afghanistan. And few houses to go home to.
