Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin (D) spoke with CNN on Friday to discuss the missteps the administration has taken in attempt to evacuate Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Cardin went on to say he hoped the focus was first on getting people to the airport and securing a safe passage out of Kabul. He added once the evacuations were complete, discussions can then begin on the mistakes of the past two decades.<\/p>\n<p>However, in regard to the immediate evacuation efforts, Cardin said the potential for collapse was information the U.S. was already aware of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had information about how the Taliban could likely control the country. We should\u2019ve been prepared to take necessary steps faster,\u201d he expressed. \u201cBut as far as Americans are concerned, our information is that we\u2019re getting Americans to the airport and out and that they\u2019re not being harmed.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What is happening in Afghanistan is a humanitarian crisis. <\/p>\n<p>Today, our mission is to get Americans out of the country as quickly and safely as possible, along with evacuating those who risked their lives to help us and the Afghan government. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6ex7B4xlTB\">https:\/\/t.co\/6ex7B4xlTB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Ben Cardin (@SenatorCardin) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenatorCardin\/status\/1427379911686344709?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 16, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cardin\u2019s statement that Americans were not being harmed has stood contrary to the information coming out of the Department of Defense.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/fitton-uscp-legal-brief-a-panic-manic-legal-defense-of-unbridled-secrecy\/\">Fitton: USCP Legal Brief \u2018A Panic, Manic Legal Defense Of Unbridled Secrecy\u2019<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Sen.
