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.

You might be onto something. If true, you can bet there are a lot of backchannel communications going on.

I don’t think they have a choice, even many Dems are condemning Biden’s handling of this now. The sooner they get rid of him the better, and I expect they will.

If this was 100% foreseeable then there should have been an open rebellion among U.S. military personnel right on the tarmac before they flew over there.

“The World of Charlie Company,” the CBS documentary from 1970 in Vietnam, should be required viewing for any U.S. military personnel who are ordered into harm’s way by some incompetent @sshole.

My heart aches for the loss of these service member’s, the family’s and for the wounded. I hope you will remember them in your prayers.

I was on active duty during the Iranian Hostage Crisis, the Beirut Marine Barracks Bombing etc. etc... We were ready, at some point, to seriously bounce some rubble. We waited and waited, but nothing doing. Very sad about the useless waste of life today, in Kabul. But that’s what we do...it’s become the American way.

Gallows humor -— nobody will be stranded. The Biden admin will see to that.

When Trump was in office, not one American service member was killed in Afghanistan during the last year of his tenure. Now, a dozen in one day? Will someone please step up and remove this incompetent, dithering old man from office? Please! Before we’re all in the crosshairs of Afghan terrorists, ISIS, and all of the other killers who’ll be streaming across our southern border.

Somebody do something. Invoke the 25th amendment and get him out of there! He’s done. Do the patriotic thing and remove him before he can do any more damage.

Jimmah Carter is now inwardly relieved, secure in the knowledge that history will no longer record him as the worst President in American history.

Bumbles Biden has eclipsed even that legacy of weakness, incompetence and stupidity.

Thanks, Democrats

While Slow Joe is clearly unfit for the job, do you really think the town the ‘Giggler’ will be an improvement?
Biden voters put us so deep in a hole, I see no rational way out.

The ISIS influence in Afghanistan is minimal at best. Latest estimate is between 50 and 500 who are now aligning with the Taliban.

The WH spin will be to blame it on ISIS so as to deflect away from the Biden administration's ignorant trust in the Taliban's promise to allow free passage from the country.......

Hopefully the real U.S. military now suffering unneeded losses at the commands of biden, austin, milley will wake up and realize that these woke (feline referenced body parts) will do nothing but get them killed. Watch .... they will pull them back inside airport walls as sniper/rpg/mortar bait trying to get them out now instead of reinforcing them, getting CAS into the airbase, stream grunts out the gates setting a hard perimeter ring around the airfield. Or, just sit there getting killed. Wonder what it will be.

Biden has to bomb something now.

They'll probably impose sanctions.
