Joe Biden’s Afghan savior in hiding from the Taliban Abroad

Current President Biden was on a visit to Afghanistan along with two other senators, Chuck Hagel and John Kerry. The helicopter they flew in was forced to land in a remote area during a snow storm. Mohammed worked for years with special units of the Americans. He went into the mountains with a small team to rescue the stranded senators. That mission succeeded.

But thirteen years later, Mohammed has failed to complete all the paperwork for entry into the US in time. He struggled for a year with American bureaucracy to get himself, his wife and four children out of the country. When the Americans left Kabul airport on Monday, Mohammed still had not been recognized as a refugee or immigrant. Talking to the WSJ, he turned to Biden and said: “Hello Mr. President, save me and my family, don’t forget me!”

A White House spokeswoman has responded, saying he will not be forgotten. “We are grateful for your struggle for 20 years on our side, and we will honor your services and get you out of it.”

Jen Psaki, Biden’s spokeswoman, said at a news conference last week that she is available to abandoned Americans in need and that they can message her after the administration promised to “leave no one behind.” However, according to Washington, hundreds of compatriots are now left behind.
