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.

It may be the Taliban, it may be ISIS. I don’t care. Demolish the presidential palace.

RIP brave heroes. Puddin’ Head Biden has a lot of blood on his hands. Biden needs to step down immediately. Take a one-way train ride to Wilmington DE. Then he can take a long walk off a short pier.

BiteMe didn’t do this.
Deep State did it.
Blaming the sock puppet won’t fix it.

Biden is too busy napping, then will have a diaper change, and then some ice cream..Biden has BLOOD ON HIS HANDS..this is on HIM

Also reports of American civilian casulties.
There have to be 1or 2 generals at the Pentagon willing to push Biden and his enablers aside and take over this operation so it can be managed the way it should be

Biden needs to step down immediatelyThe nerve of him laughing yesterday at a question and then the day before leading with a spending bill before addressing this grave situation, he's unfit.
