I have to call bull$hit. There is no way that we tracked a guy in a cave in Tora Bora for months, knowing that he was an ISIL “planner” and never had a clue the entire Afghan army would dessert and the Taliban would take over in 11 days.

The Biden administration and the clu$terfrack US Military today is trying to win support after their massive failure.

JMHO

Much more dangerous than the Toll-e-ban.

Since I made the conscious decision not to believe anything the government says without independent corroboration, I have to wonder if they even launched a drone, if they killed anyone, and if so who was the unfortunate person?

I have a worthless congressman, Thomas Massie, a never Trumper with a 90+ conservative rating. He was doing everything possible to undercut Trump’s successful disengagement. This congressman wanted to cut all funding, forcing a similarly disastrous cut and run. In this twenty year CF one man understood how to successfully bring this to an end and the GOP placed every available dagger in his back.

Reports are this mastermind was planning another dastardly attack, conferring with his homicidal cohorts who were cleverly disguised as a herd of goats on a hilltop in the countryside of Afghanistan. This is our president’s mission accomplished moment.

First off, I don’t believe anything these assclowns say.
Second, a little late, don’t you think?
Third, if true, will our remaining troops pay again for this?

You can see from the video footage how the drone focused in and targeted the small ring leader dressed in green. It is the little ones who often are the most dangerous. She was probably spreading coronavirus as well.

Well, we certainly can’t have another generation of citizens who place importance on such things as freedom and liberty. Best to nip that in the bud!

Don’t believe a single thing published by a democrat taliban party controlled government.

I am skeptical that this even happened. How do we know that they didn’t make up this story to try to save some face? How can we trust anything that this government tells us?

That’s if you even believe they killed one!

I can honestly see the regime reaching out to their Taliban friends for advice and permission to act. Tell the Taliban that they’re going to blow up a golf cart and do a little chest pounding, nothing more. This is purely to give the regime’s propaganda machine some kind of a positive story to push. I bet they vetted this “attack” with the Islamists before making the claims.

Here is the official Pentagon sketch of the "planner" who was identified in the attack at the Kabul airport:

Here is a drone photo of the attack on the "planner":

Satisfied now?

Did this “planner” have a name? Have not seen a name mentioned.

So we take out allegedly a “planner” (whatever the hell that means) and he is easily replaced and emboldens ISIS- (special)K to go kill more which they certainly will. The ONLY way to stop them is kill them all until they become extinct.

Note that no drone footage was shown (not that they couldn’t fabricate one).
