Biden goes silent after his Kabul fiasco costs first American lives: Two 'ISIS' blasts kill up to 60 - including TEN American troops and multiple children - and leaves faltering evacuation plans in tatters

Ten US servicemembers were killed in a series of suicide bomb attacks on Kabul airport on Thursday, the first American lives to be lost since Biden's disastrous evacuation effort began on August 14.

The President has not commented publicly on the deaths and he is not scheduled to make any kind of statement or speech on Thursday.

The deafening silence has angered Republicans who say the blood of those killed is on his hands.

Dozens of people were killed, according to those on the ground including a New York Times reporter who counted 40 dead bodies. The Wall Street Journal said 60 Afghans had died.

FOX host Brett Baier said officials told the network's Pentagon team that ten service members had died.

I don’t think it’s far-fetched to speculate that the silence in Washington is due to a growing rebellion within the ranks of the U.S. military against this stupidity.


They did near whatever they wanted when Trump was POTUS and the left cheered them on. Now the shoe is on the other foot...

No way the Dems want Biden out now. The collateral damage to the party in the midterms would be immense.

If there was ever a clear cut case for the 25th amendment, this is it.

I know we’ll end up with Kamala and she needs to go too, but one idiot at a time or we’ll be saddled with Pelosi.

Come on, cabinet. Do your job.

Didn’t you hear? It wasn’t the Taliban. They condemned the bombing. It was ISIS K. /s (Like there’s a difference)
I’d tell you how i really feel but I’d probably get banned.

I agree but we know they won’t do it. They are more worried about the 3.5 trillion dollars than America..

My understanding is the Marines were involved in a firefight sometime after the explosions.

“There’s no way they could know which group set off the explosion.”

True. But there’s likewise little question that the 100% foreseeable disaster as to how this whole withdrawal thing has been handled would NOT be exploited by one group or another.

One runs out of words to describe this situation at some point. I think I am there.

This has now officially exceeded the Obama-Clinton Benghazi fiasco.

How many hostages will the Taliban hold — for future leverage?
