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.

I think Obama is a pimp too. He’s not smart enough, somebody else is pulling the strings.

Obama is also too lazy. He wants to be a celebrity and not do any of the dirty work.

WTF is the Taliban doing?They are letting ISIS do the dirty work and will have their plausible deniability to say "it wasn't us." Al Qaeda is also there to do similarly.
I'm not sure the Taliban could stop ISIS or Al Qaeda from doing what they like even if they wanted to. All three are ruthless.
