What plane is that?

[Diogenesis]

> 112,000 total evac since Aug. 14

but only ~5,000 Americans; per Pentagon

[MrLucky1966]

I think it is a newer C-130 with the funny propellers.

[atc23]

There may not be any Americans left there. Does anyone really think the were ever 40 thousand Americans in country?

[MustKnowHistory]

Aaaaannnd , once again, where is Secretary Austen?

[SIDENET]

Airbus A400M Atlas.

Several European countries operate them including the U.K. and France.

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

I believe it’s a UK Airbus A400.

[Diogenesis]

reports are that Teams 1 and 2 got the LAWYERS
and their unvetted/fakeVetted-terrorists out first.

[Deo volente]

Two “ISIS-K planners and facilitators” were killed.

No further details. We will never learn the identities of these supposed “high-profile” terrorists. Case closed. Move along now.

“The fact that these two individuals are no longer walking on the face of the earth is good.” Mr. Kirby there are hundreds if not more of these “planners and facilitators” still alive and well, so what did we accomplish except to piss off the rest of them?!

[FES0844]

Kirby seems very nervous and agitated.

[nuconvert]

Per Update: 117,000 evac. 5,400 of those Americans

Not confirming how many military still at Airport

[E. Pluribus Unum]

There may not be any Americans left there. Does anyone really think the were ever 40 thousand Americans in country?

I have as much evidence that there were as you have that there weren't.

[AAABEST]

Kirby and his butt-general are lying to our faces again.

Unlike Trump’s strikes, where we’re told who, what, when, why and where - these bastards say stuff like “We’re just no going to release names.” “We won’t get into operational details.”

Fkn demons killed a goat herder or nobody, and are lying to us again.

[Deo volente]

The general did not answer the question about the difference between a “planner” and a “facilitator”, but totally deflected it.

Kirby tried to avoid answering the question about whether this drone strike had “degraded” ISIS-K’s ability to commit further attacks. He was forced to concede that the threat is still significant. Of course it is!

"Aaaaannnd , once again, where is Secretary Austen? "

SECDEFComPoop Austin is getting his butt wiped.

[Deo volente]

No trace of human remains found, yet the golf cart is not really in that bad a shape. Odd.
