hmmm... that is suspicious

Just seen on Instapundit (slightly edited):

We are told by the powers that be that approximately 6,000 to 7,000 American citizens were rescued by daring efforts of the U.S. State Department and U.S. military in evacuations from Kabul airport. Okay, fair enough… that’s a good outcome. Happy to hear it; we can debate the other 116,000 at a later time. However, it seems a little odd, now, that there’re no videos of the survivors of the Afghan crisis arriving at airports. No crowds or families greeting the extracted American residents; no human-interest stories and local broadcasted news coverage of relieved Americans, husbands, wives, daughters, or sons arriving back in their hometown... nothing. Six to seven thousand Americans saved from the clutches of the Taliban, and not a single story of those Americans arriving home to the waiting arms of their loving family. (link)

All I know is... it's a shit-show.
