A Curious Scenario

 If you go and read through all the various reports of the Afghans 'rescued' and brought out....most of the crowd are presently at Ramstein Air Base Germany....there's this odd problem.

The Homeland Security folks have viewed the names list and a couple of them appear to be ISIS 'thugs'....on some watch-list.

The Border Patrol folks?  I'm guessing they've laid down the card and said they won't be allowed to step on US soil.  But at the same time....the Germans are probably making it plainly clear....they can't remain on German soil either.

This is going to turn into a curious episode.  I don't think any North African country will accept the guys either.  Sending them back to Afghanistan?  That probably won't happen.  

The possibility that President Biden will over-rule the Border Patrol and allow these guys into the US?  I'd say it's a 50-50 chance of that happening.  Course, it'd just be another point for impeachment (if you ask me).

Shouldn't all of this been reviewed before allowing the guys on the exit plane?  Well.....that's part of the discussion as well.

The odds that if you approached the Taliban on bringing them back....they'd refuse on account of how 'dangerous' these guys were (grinning as they said that)?
