[quote:GSB/LTD:MV80ODkyODg4Xzg5Mzc5NDg4X0UzODM0NkM=] Surprise, SURPRISE! Emily Miller, who started this entire hand-wringer has now walked back her earlier headline-grabbing claim and not only admitted she was wrong about the buses full of American women, but has now stated they are ALL SAFE. She says that new info came directly from Special Ops and quoted him as saying [i]"the State Department was involved."[/i] A terse comment if there ever was one. Miller's tweet that provides this update was clocked at 5:03pm today. She also doesn't explore whether Special Ops or even State Department personnel were driving those buses to begin with! Wouldn't it be interesting to find out they WERE and that the Taliban wasn't involved at all? If Emily Miller can speculate... so can I! But what if I'm correct? If, if...IF! Regardless, Does anyone think that Miller will apologize for all the teeth-gnashing her "report" caused? The report that got her name plastered for a day and half all over social media and beyond? And with all the invective -and threats- that were tossed around on this thread I'd say more than one apology was in order. But, I wouldn't count on it, Folks! So now the revisionists can start their own speculations: [i]"But, but, but... what IF it had turned out to be true?"[/i] [/quote]

The women are likely dead.

"7 buses filled with world-renowned orchestra performers — 280 girls all approved to go,” said Robert Stryk, a Washington fixer who has been coordinating private evacuation efforts in conjunction with former Navy SEAL and US Congressman Scott Taylor (R-Va.)."
“Our hearts are broken, he added. “These young girls spent 17 hours on a hot bus with no food or water and were 393 feet from freedom but were denied entry into the airport because the United States government gave [the Taliban] the power to override the US Army’s 82nd Airborne."
