Kabul Airport Explosion Kills Four U.S. Marines Amid Evacuations

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.

Reminds me of an old Western movie, where a little boy said “Trump, come back, Momma needs you!” (The movie is Shane)...

Biden had better do a press briefing, with questions! This addled dolt has blood on his hands! This is going to be worse than Benghazi. Far worse.

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 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...

Time for Biden to resign or get 86'd via the 25th.

We'll worry about putting Harris in check later.

I guess they didn't want to leave Afghanistan.

My thought: Vast majority of Biden voters would still vote for him if running against Trump.

Hopefully the wizards of smart at the pentagon have notified the families prior to this announcement. Pray for them and their families and all those in this goat rope in Afghanistan.

This was entirely avoidable, it is like Biden wanted it to happen.

Last week Biden said there would be “swift and devastating response” to an attack on our forces

Today? “That was four days ago man!”
