President Joe Biden promised on Thursday to hunt down and destroy the terrorists who killed 11 U.S. Marines and a navy medic, along with dozens of Afghans, in a double suicide attack on Kabul airport.
He paid tribute to the 'selfless heroes' who died helping vulnerable people to safety, but delivered a stern warning to the people responsible.
'For those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes America harm, know this: We will not forgive, we will not forget,' he said in an address at the White House, after a day consulting with his national security team and senior generals.
'We will hunt you down and make you pay.'
He said he had already asked his commanders for plans to strike back at the Afghan Islamic State offshoot that was responsible for the attack.
'I've also ordered my commanders to develop operational plans to strike ISIS-K assets, leadership and facilities,' he said.
'We will respond with force and precision at at the place we choose and a moment of our choosing.'
Biden has been under intense pressure to justify his decision to withdraw by August 31, after the way in which the Taliban raced across the country and captured the capital.
His officials have been forced to negotiate with Kabul's new rulers in order to ensure Westerners and vulnerable Afghans could reach the airport.

I wish this was the end of it. But it’s probably just the start. The CIA element backing ISIS are likely to go all in to get the war going again. While it lasted it was better than crack and they won’t let it go without as much bloodshed as they can manage.
The Marines only outer perimeter security is what the Taliban are willing and able to provide. I doubt the Taliban are permitting armed patrol drones over Kabul.
Anything and everything could start landing on that airport.
Military is pulling out and the on the ground intel no longer exists.
This is the emptiest threat ever. It would be like Japanese Emperor Hirohito threatening to "make the US pay" for dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Jobama is the mouse that roars as the Islamic terrorist gear up to keep kicking America’s ass. It all seems so preplanned for it to be this bad.
Great analogy.
Congress is complicit.
Thanks. Biden’s empty threats are sickening. He’s making us Americans look like idiots.
I was in the truck with the radio on - normally do not listen to Dana Loesch, but she said (as the casualty count was rising): “turn it into glass and let God sort it out” ....
Accepted responsibility by blaming the previous President?
The World’s “News Media” has turned into the White House Stenography pool
Absolutely...they’re just getting started. Let’s see when the Taliban learn how to use the weapons Joe gave them.
They aren’t going to as long as Biden is _resident.
“..We will make you PAY… oh, hey… is that ice cream?..”
I stand by my prior recommendation to drop nukes within 30 days after evacuation. Should have been done 30 days after 9/11. This country offers nothing of value to the rest of the world.
Biden’s empty threats

The whole speech sounded like, and probably was, written by a tallibon comedian.
They probably taped to laugh at it again later.
“Everything is propaganda and PR—it makes absolutely no difference what is actually happening in the theatre. The current set of poofy generals is perfect for this task—they can brag about how the bombs were dropped by the historic first LGBT air squadron!”
Did you see the report about the Sargeant Major of the Army who TODAY of all days, posted on Twitter a Diversity is our Strength posting? Just when you think these PC Idiots could not possibly outdo themselves they prove you wrong!
Fake tough
Trump already had a plan.
OBiden, J. - Looking for the real killer...
President Puddin Pop has issued his Strongly Worded Response.
The White House now calls a lid until noon Monday.
Need the pic of Grandpa Simpson yelling at the clouds.
Be nice if someone could put a profile of Biden in grandpa Simpson’s place.
