The blood is on their hands,\u201d that individual said. \u201cIt is not the Taliban that is holding this up \u2013 as much as it sickens me to say that \u2013 it is the United States government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the sources that the network spoke to said that they thought part of the reason the Biden administration was blocking the flights was that they were embarrassed those private entities were having to rescue the Americans because Biden failed.<\/p>\n<p>The report said that the network reviewed Clay\u2019s manifest of 4,500 people, which includes U.S. citizens, green card holders, and SIVs. The State Department has reportedly received 800 names so far for the initial round of flights that the private entities are trying to get out of Afghanistan. The two sources that spoke to Fox News reportedly confirmed Clay\u2019s account of events.<\/p>\n<p>The report added:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"23\">\n<p><em>After making little to no progress with the State Department, Clay\u2019s group turned to senators from both parties: Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., have all sought to help PlanB and other organizations secure the approval they need to get the evacuees safely out of Afghanistan, organizers and Senate staffers told Fox News. Clay received word on Thursday that their flights out of Afghanistan would eventually receive approval following the State Department\u2019s review of their manifest \u2014 a task that could take several days even as just the initial 800 names are subjected to the vetting process.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As of Sunday evening, the State Department had yet to give PlanB the green light to land any of their flights in any countries neighboring Afghanistan. The two other Americans involved in another private evacuation effort told Fox News that the State Department has secured them clearance to land in a neighboring country and that the Taliban has given them the green light to take off, dependent on State Department approval \u2013 which hasn\u2019t come.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The report from Fox News is along the same lines of what Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) tweeted at the start of the month when he accused the Biden administration of impeding efforts to rescue Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica: right now there is a private effort to get a plane of US citizens and allies out of Afghanistan,\u201d Crenshaw said. \u201cThey need @SecBlinken to help get clearance to land in a nearby country. Biden\u2019s State Department is refusing to actively assist. Their response: \u2018just tell them to ask.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"11.903614457831\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">America: right now there is a private effort to get a plane of US citizens and allies out of Afghanistan.
