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.

Why are Marines being slaughtered?

BECAUSE BIDEN TRUSTED THE TALIBAN.

And the last thing his handlers want to do is have him address the American people and take questions from the media today.

They'll write a speech for him to read and not understand. No way he answer questions, he will once again walk away from America's questions.

Being told the US death toll is believed to be 13 so far

The Military followed his orders. Not ONE Military resigned over this piss poor order. I would have.

That's what they want to do, but Biden is in so bad shape today it's too risky to even have him slur his words off the teleprompter.

Sadly, I won’t be surprised if we lose 1000 Soldiers and Marines in the next week. The situation looks completely out of hand.

Yeah and the fake Apache hovering in front of P-109, that's where the Afghanis let go out of it and it started to float away, right?

To be shortly followed by the Afghanis letting go of the C-17A and letting it float away too, right? Only to conveniently float back down at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, right?

LOL at every old FRacebooker who has melted down into a LunatiQ, like a cheap candy bar on the back porch on the hottest day of summer...

Reflective of the movie “7 Days in May”.

Sky News just reported “ten American military personnel killed”, but I did not catch their source.

10 confirmed by FOX and other sources. Some say it will rise.

3PM Defense Dept. Briefing. Still no commander in chief, sigh

It wouldn’t surprise me if he had a stroke from all this.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two US officials say 11 Marines and a Navy medic were killed in the Afghanistan attacks.

White House silent, no updates in the past 5 hours since the explosions.

[Toespi]

Well that we knew for sure. Had they voted otherwise they would have been accused of contributing to the January 6th “insurrection”. I am talking about the November vote.

Largest KIA number in over a decade. Still no comment from Biden.

Unfortunately, I don't think Biden has enough of a conscious to be affected emotionally from today's events. As long as Joe gets his ice cream and a nap, he's had a good day.

Sorry, worst KIA number in over a decade, I deserve it.
