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

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’m not going to explain, you wouldn’t believe me if I did.

When you know, you know.

My previous tagline:

You can trust government, or you understand history. You CANNOT do both.

He would’ve made sure ALL civilians were out prior to pulling military out....through Bagram BTW.....once Biden called for pulling out of Bagram it set all the rest of this mess into motion.

Press: Are you in charge of Afghanistan?

Jill: I am, baby!

Press: Why the big fiasco?

Jill: I got the planetary movements wrong... they’re in the house of Jupiter and not Saturn.

Press: So planetary movement determine troop movements?

Jill: You got it baby! I’m not just Caesar’s wife. I direct the show like Valery Jarrett and Susan Rice directed Obama. It’s the women who are in charge.

Press: But you got things so wrong!

Jill: No big deal... I was looking at some tarot cars and things will turn out good. The crystals also say the same thing.

Press: What does Joe think?

Jill: I put him in a warm mud bath and blast some Tommy James and the Shondells at him, and he’s blowing bubbles and is quite happy.

Press: What about the generals?

Jill: They’re all pussies. That Miley guy wants to kiss my butt like he was some first year gender study student. He’s the biggest pussy of them all.

Press: So things are going great?

Jill: Couldn’t be better. It’s been all predicted by François Lyotard in his book “The Postmodern Condition.” New sexual typology, feminism, human erring gods, whim, paganism, impiety...

No can do. He’s busy campaigning for Newsom in Cali.

The DEM President flailing, a Dem Governor of NY resigns in disgrace, A Dem Governor in CA to be recalled. Do people see a pattern here?

The great thing about Ronnie... He always surrounded himself with skilled and intelligent people.

A lot of these international negotiations require skilled and intelligent diplomats. Joe hired political hacks left over from the Obama and Clinton administrations and diplomatically... They blew it during those administrations, just like they’re blowing it now.

Yes, Biden did this. Don't excuse him. He's the one who ran for president. He's the one who wanted the job for decades. He's the one who has to sign off on these decisions. DO NOT EXCUSE HIM. He might be slower mentally than he used to be, but he is definitely more aware and in charge than some have given him credit for being.

Dear Joe,

You have repeatedly said the the US will maintain “over the horizon capabilities” to deal with terrorism/counter terrorist operations.

What time today did you give the order to release the kraken against these savages?

You're making a claim. Please provide a link or reference.

> 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 <

You might have to go down to colonel or major level before you find someone competent enough to do that. (Or just pick any Marine Corps sergeant.)

Kirby now confirming the marine deaths. The world is spinning out of control with Biden in office.

“Do people see a pattern here?”
IMO, from Biden and Harris and Cabinet, they are Marxist plants placed there by the CCP.

The events of today have me feeling absolutely sick and numb. And the worst part is things are likely to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.
