    he said it was a sad day, 12 killed, then went on to tout the number of people evacuated and the heroism of the troops. Honestly I'm not sure what they expected him to say, but he should have stuck to the facts of the incident, of which there are few right now. Apparently we are relying on the Taliban to screen people getting to the gates of the airport.

    So the Taliban is the group preventing suicide bombers from getting to our troops. Let that sink in.

      If you think about it it means we knew damn good and well they were going to overrun the country. Otherwise we would never have had time to make such arrangements with them.

        I am just gobsmacked at this point remembering all the times the left - and Biden - screamed that Trump was incompetent, unable and unfit to be president.

          TDS sufferers are still emoting about Jan 6. You have to give them more time to collect themselves before they emote about anything bad relating to Biden.

              There's nothing to attack unless we are willing to sustain mass casualties of Afghans.

              But maybe the Romans had it right.

                      The whole point of the attack was to get America to talk about it, while there are more important concerns - such as racism - that we should be focused on instead.

                            You should hear the way it's talked about on mainstream left-leaning podcasts. The left could not possibly be more elated that it happened. The catharsis they feel over the vindication of their good vs evil view of American politics is palpable, and they are spreading the word. The marginalization of the right was made a lot easier. It's going to be taught about in grade schools.

                              Funny you should say that. I had the very same thought this morning, reading the Fox coverage. The jowl-quivering outrage barely camouflaged their glee. I mean, what's a bunch of dead Marines if it means we get to stick it to Biden!!!

                                      In addition to the bomb, there were reports of gunmen shooting into the crowd.

                                      Were these gunmen identified and/or captured or killed?

                                      I don't believe I have seen an update on that.

                                        Taliban kill mastermind of suicide bombing at Kabul airport

                                        WASHINGTON (AP) — The Taliban have killed the senior Islamic State group leader behind the August 2021 suicide bombing outside the Kabul airport that left 13 U.S. service members and about 170 Afghans dead, according to the father of a Marine killed in the attack who was briefed Tuesday by military officials.

                                          Thats cool. But it raises more questions than it answers.

                                          Only non-witches get due process.
