It’s entirely possible, likely even. It’s a forest vs. trees kinda thing. Our Intel services are excellent at SIGNT, but crappy at interpreting the Big Picture.

I have to call bull$hit.

I'm not buying it either. We have no intel on the ground in Afghanistan.

If we killed anyone, it was probably some guy engaged in a 500 year old blood feud with his neighbor after his neighbor told someone he was ISIS just so the US would take care of it.

My guess is the Taliban fed us the name and location of a guy they didn’t like. And that he had nothing to do with the airport bombing.

They use us as a hit man and demented old man Joe gets a photo opp.

Win win, you see.

Besides, if this was the "Planner", how much planning does it take to get a jihadi to self-detonate in a crowd?

The hardest part would be the vest, or bomb in a backpack, or whatever they used.

If it had happened over here, at least the FBI would furnish that part.

You are most likely correct.
