The Biden Administration’s legacy of shame – Abbey Gate at Kabul airport. I am in touch with families on the ground – we’ve been working all day long to get out. Plane was denied clearance to land, US soldiers were bulldozing checkpoints & pulling out BEFORE this happened. pic.twitter.com/zjhxmalWR7

The Kabul airport attack has nixed hopes of evacuation for the last thousands still hoping to make it out. Am hearing the US military is sealing shut the airport gates. The casualty numbers are growing by the minute. A tragedy piled on a tragedy.

Biden last week:
“God, forgive me if I’m wrong about that, but no one's being killed right now."

Key moments define presidencies.
“Tear down this wall.”
“Read my lips.”
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
“Mission Accomplished!”
“If you like your doctor…”For Biden, the defining image will be him turning his back on Americans he abandoned in Afghanistan. pic.twitter.com/iKzI2vBIjL

The Biden administration’s decision to hastily withdraw from Afghanistan has resulted in at least three American servicemen being injured or even killed.
After several days of possible “threats” to the Kabul airport, it has now been hit by terrorists. A suicide bomber murdered or wounded at least 11 people, including three American servicemen.
According to Fox News, the suicide bombing resulted in a firefight between the terrorists and U.S. troops present at the airport. Apparently, these troops are willing to defend themselves and their brothers in arms, despite the fact that they were completely betrayed by their political leadership.
And by “political leadership,” I mean, of course, the gutless, spineless, ridiculous Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
According to Fox News, the suicide attack was very “complex.” However, such attacks were anticipated. In fact, American intel warned about possible upcoming attacks well before this suicide attack was actually carried out. In other words, they knew something was coming, but were unable to do anything about it.
What’s happening right now in Afghanistan is an utter disgrace. The United States is withdrawing like a dog with its tail between its legs. It’s pathetic to see — and it’s actually costing lives. The Taliban and their allies (al-Qaeda and the local branch of ISIS) are able to do whatever they want. The airport is being blocked by them and terror attacks are being carried out.
And what’s the response of the mighty U.S. military? Are they fighting back? Are they making clear to the Taliban that they’ll have a second Afghanistan war on their hands if they kill any Americans? No! None of it.
biden is a complete disgrace. This is beginning to look like all of this was done in this manner on purpose.
It is only the chaos that idiot Biden created that makes these attacks possible. In fact, were Trump’s plan followed, there would be no chaos and the Taliban (and the terrorists that filter in amidst chaos) would not even be in Kabul, we would still have our embassy and Bagram.
Trump’s “plan” was to pull out all but 2500 US troops, relying on the Taliban and Afghan military to shake hands and maintain order.
… OR there would be severe MILITARY consequences. You always seem to leave out that part; the part that was lacking under idiot Biden. Trump had made clear he meant what he said and the Taliban respected that. That’s why they waited until a worthless, cowardly, incompetent idiot was in charge to begin retaking Afghanistan and their wait was well rewarded. Idiot Biden just stood silently by while Afghanistan fell. Now Americans are dead.
DEAD, Greg. No more. GONE. Pointlessly lost because we have a puppet in the White House that goes on vacation when his plans turn to disaster.
So Trump warned—as he pulled out two-thirds of our remaining military. That’s one of those glaring contradictions between words and actions that Trump’s supporters NEVER seem to notice.
ISIS-K just claimed responsibility for today’s attack. Something like this has been expected for weeks and talked about for days.
I don’t seem to recall Trump working out any “deal” with them. So who would he have directed his “SEVERE military consequences” against?
How many Taliban were killed? I suspect they stepped aside and let it happen to exploit, ala January 6th, to consolidate power while blaming everyone else.
ISIS-K and the Taliban are mortal enemies. Are you unaware of this?
So, you think Taliban would stand in the way of ISIS killing Americans? You think Taliban would impede ISIS killing those Afghans that helped the US and want to get out? That is a special brand of stupid.
Dont tell heartless Greg that this ISIS k suicide bomber went through a TALIBAN check point to gain access to the airport. The number of gold star mothers is likely to be higher.
greggie poo, your ignorance is astounding. Did you ever hear about the philosophy that the enemy of my enemy is my friend? You silly statements made on this site could only be made by someone with a 3 grade education.
And idiot Biden ignored. THAT’S the only pertinent fact at this point. If something different needed to be done, idiot Biden was the one to do it. He didn’t. He went on vacation.
Like Yasser Arafat of old in Gaza, the Taliban can SAY whatever the world wants to hear.
But, privately, they know they don’t control most Islamists in Afghanistan.
We are seeing the media label these attackers as “ISIS,” and variations of that, but they are all Islamists.
It’s just that, in Islam, as in pulling a dog sled, unless you are the lead dog the view never changes.
Each Islamist group wants to be that lead dog of Afghanistan.
Now we’re really going to see a bloodbath as Islamist turns on Islamist.
China will find their most compliant (sounding) Islamist group and back them.
the demorats and people that voted for this idiot should be proud of his conduct. kamaslut and his cabinet are useless, tits on a bull.
One can bitch all they want but this moron, and the senate confirmed all of his cabinets members. BLAM the congress also.
Jim Clyburn. Clyburn made a deal with the devil to support this racist, liar, criminal, rapist idiot.
