Kabul Airport Explosion Kills Four U.S. Marines Amid Evacuations
WSJ ^ | 8.26.21 | Yaroslav Trofimov

Posted on 08/26/2021 10:06:16 AM PDT by 1Old Pro

The U.S. ambassador in Kabul has told staff there that four U.S. Marines were killed in an explosion at the city’s airport and three wounded, a U.S. official with knowledge of the briefing said. Two explosions ripped through crowds of Afghans trying to enter the airport on Thursday.

At least three U.S. troops were injured, a U.S. official said. Witnesses reported multiple fatalities among the Afghans, many of whom were trying to enter the airport because they had assisted U.S.-led coalition efforts and feared persecution by the Taliban.

IMO, we are way behind calling this POS names. It kind of makes light of this guy and what he’s doing. He is DANGEROUS. This guy AND HIS ADMINISTRATION needs to be strung up and ridiculed until they either slink off into the night because of embarrassment and ridicule or they are tossed out on their asses. This is way more than just a huge screw up.

Biden turns is back on Americans almost every time he speaks... Even his butt boys in the press can’t get a question in sideways...

we’ve been victims of a galactic-sized fraud perpetrated by a political party which should be history by sunrise tomorrow morning.

Yes, and now we know why they couldn't win a real election.

Not really…the Tallyb has complete control at their checkpoints into to airport area.

The US Federal government had control over airports, flights etc yet Al Quaeda managed to slaughter 3000 Americans using planes.
If we control Kabul Airport, we are responsible for security at the airport. No excuses.

Reference, one of many: the C-17 photo’s/vids of the last week are obviously fake. Taxiing C-17 has painted “windows”, no rivets, no turbine blades, no engine, no sucked in Afghans, no blown away Afghans *right next* to the “engine”.

You won’t get sucked into a jet engine unless you stand directly in front of the air intake and on a C-17 the bottom of the engine nacelles are 6 feet above the ground on the outboard nacelle and 8 feet above the ground on the inboard engine nacelle.

And modern aircraft have flush rivets.

Give Kamala a chance. She’ll heel up the country.

White Hat False Flag(?)

I guess the implication is that the Deep State was behind the bombing?

Any incident involving casualties gives us a pretext to stay.

They saw this train wreck coming when Joe Biden couldn’t finish a sentence while campaigning, did they think his decisions were going to be any different than an unfinished sentence or hiding in a basement? Republicans had every responsibility to be adversarial to Joe Biden, for the safety of this country. THEY DID NOT, THEY HID ALONG WITH BIDEN!

Oh don't worry, I'm sure limp-wristed Lindsay and the rest of the empty headed mouthpieces will soon be demanding "hearings" well after the fact so the targeted person can simply say "At this point, what difference does it make?"

Lots of strongly worded statements and breathless Hannity "breaking alerts."

Meanwhile, not a damned thing will be done except fund raising for a political party off of the mess. Yep, I was born redpilled. Now I'm whitepilled. They're all worthless.

Swampers say all kinds of disgusting things about Trump and his supporters. Now watch how they treat Biden and his band of fools.

I could not agree more. Biden is not as far gone mentally as too many people assume. What he's doing is the same crap he has always said he'd do if he was president. Well now he is, and he's kept his word. He must be held accountable.
