Rachel just had on a guest who spoke to a bunch of people at the airport in Kabul. A few hundred troops with zero supplies. The soldiers are saying they do not even have barb wire to establish the perimeter they need to establish. They said the surge in state department personnel they were promised yesterday never arrived.

Sorry, the administration needs to get its head out of its tail on this matter.
