....What that ignores is that you need intelligence to know where to strike, and that’s going to become almost impossible to come by in Afghanistan. Further, notice where the strike happened. Nangarhar Province is an eastern area of Afghanistan along the Pakistani border, far away from where the Taliban are primarily amassed. While we know there are thousands of ISIS fighters in and around Kabul, we chose to hit a single person in the middle of nowhere who is only described as a “planner.” Given this administration’s constant lies about the situation, I’m going to require more than that before I believe they actually did anything of consequence here.
Lastly, the throw-in that we didn’t kill any civilians also strikes me as odd and unlikely. Are we to believe this ISIS planner lived alone, in an area with no surrounding population? That would be extremely unusual given Afghan culture. In other words, it seems like a throw-in to once again give the impression of how amazingly successful the Biden administration is at conducting over the horizon strikes.
I don’t buy any of this, and neither should you. This feels like a classic CYA moment akin to Bill Clinton’s bombing of a chemical factory after Al Qaeda blew up our embassy. I don’t believe this attack did anything at all to punish ISIS or hurt their operational capabilities. Rather, I suspect this was a Taliban-provided target that gave Biden the out he needed.

What the heck does Bonchie know?
100% agreed over here:
You’re asking me to believe they can’t identify how many Americans are left in Afghanistan but they can find they very individual responsible for the bombings in Kabul.
I say goat shit. This is nothing more than a media distraction so Pissacki claim Biden’s a tough guy.
Change my mind.....
RLTW
The picture I saw of the after strike looked like a cushman golf cart was hit. They killed Happy Gilmore?
Hi.
The Pentagon didn’t name any names. Not even a nom de plume.
Like maybe Abdullah Aziz Mohamed Skyhook?
Or the grand Imam Mohammed Tariq Achmed Skyhook?
Something to give the JCS some credibility.
5.56mm
Names or as you are probably well aware it did not happen.
Yup, doesn’t pass the smell test.
I call it Biden Bull $hit.
So Joe offed a couple of camel herders who had the bad luck to be driving across the desert? They would not give their names on TV broadcasted Defence Dept. briefing either.
Joe was not supposed to have any live intel in Afghanistan. Thay say that their intel did not show the coming Taliban and so were blind sided by the take over but they could finger an Isis planner in just one day with live Intel?.
Ring-dang-DOODLE !
Something stinks in Denmark.
Joe new all about the certainty of the Taliban take over
amd made sure they received 6 billion dollars of US ordnance.Joe snagged defeat right from the jaws of Victory! ( Why?)
“Names or as you are probably well aware it did not happen.”
Undoubtedly.
More of the same bull$hit lies that this clan spews. If they give a name it could be disputed. No name, no dispute...
The price is wrong, Bob.
If any of you naive Americans out there believe that the Biden team took out an ISIS”K” “planning” dude...please look me up...I have a bridge in Brooklyn New York City, I would like to sell to you for a very good price of Five Billion Dollars!!! Read my lips fool Americans...Democrat, Joe Biden lies, 100% of the time!!! Period!!!
Nah, I’m good. I own the toll rights for the bay bridge in Sanfransicko.
The resident biden lies because it is in his DNA.
With all the military gear left at Bagram....they would ben tooling around in armored Humvees.
Loved that movie
And The Waterboy
The price is wrong, Bobby
Why?
To fulfil a promise made by the ‘articulate and clean’ one.
Wedding Singer, Blended, Happy Gilmore are his best ones, IMHO. I do have a fondness for Little Nicky. WaterBoy, meh.
Goat herders herding with a Cushman golf cart.
So Joe may be a goat ...but he doesnt know anything about goat herding
