Promises to Get Americans Out

President Joe Biden, August 18, 2021 - ABC interview with George Stephanopoulus:

And, if there are American forces - if there are American citizens left, we're gonna stay 'til we get them all out.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki, August 23, 2021 - Press conference:

First of all, I think it’s irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They are not. We are committed to bringing Americans, who want to come home, home.

Afghanistan Failures

Pentagon press conference, August 30, 2021 - General Kenneth F. McKenzie & Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby:

We didn't get everybody out that we wanted to get out [...] And we think the citizens that were not brought out number in the low, very low, hundreds.

Pentagon press conference, August 21, 2021 - Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby:

We know of cases. A small number that we know of. And we don't have perfect visibility but we know of a small number of cases where some Americans and certainly as the Secretary also said in that statement, Afghans that we want to evacuate, it wasn't just Americans that he talked about, have been harassed and in some cases beaten. We don't believe it is a very large number.
