WNU Editor: In my opinion this is already a hostage crisis.
Americans and America's allies outside of Kabul cannot reach Kabul with the Taliban controlling the highways. Even in Kabul itself people are restricted in their movements.
The Taliban know that they have enormous leverage with the Americans caught that are behind their lines, and they are going to use it.
And while I do not know what the Taliban are precisely going to demand. My gut tells me that they are going to drag this crisis past September 11, and thereby deny President Biden any credit for getting the U.S. out of Afghanistan on the 20th anniversary of the attacks.
