In the days before a suicide bomber killed 13 service personnel at Kabul airport in 2021, U.S. military commanders were aware of the threat and twice missed chances to take out the deadly terrorist network behind the plot, according to a new book.
The Taliban, who had seized control of Afghanistan, refused a request to raid a hotel that was a known staging post for ISIS-K, who carried out the atrocity.
And at around the same time, superior officers vetoed a plan for a drone strike elsewhere because of the 'negative response' of the Taliban to such a raid.

The worst thing about it was the Taliban had our forces there at their mercy. They could have trapped our people by blocking or blowing up the runway. He had to trust the Taliban.

Shawn Ryan former Navy Seal and CIA Contractor has a podcast called Vigilance Elite, recently he had Tyler Vargas Andrews on his show for over a 5 podcast, Tyler Andrews is a former CIA Marine Scout Sniper who lost an arm and leg in the blast in Kabul during the evacuation
He goes into great detail on how he and other Marines had the bomber in their sights and the target had been positively identified but multiple people but were denied permission to take him out.
He also went into great detail how the entire withdrawal was conducted, from watching the Taliban routinely executed people right in front of US Soldiers and on-site commanders repeatedly denied them permission to stop the executions, he witnessed babies being thrown onto razor wire and dying, really sick stuff
The guy was a true blue marine who now questions why he was ever in the military

When the Taliban paid off the “Big Guy” for the $68 billion dollars of military weapons he agreed to give them did they pay him with 10% of the actual weapons or did they convert it into currency or gold for him?

Biden’s an incompetent figurehead. His puppet-masters are responsible for everything he does.
