    Well, we can chalk this up to your lack of specificity and my speed reading. Next time, try

    Meanwhile... Americans were told to leave the airport GATES.

    I read "leave the airport" as the airport grounds, which didn't happen...

    Call this one a tie...

    Oh, I see... Biden knew exactly where ISIS-K leaders were located shortly after his false flag.. errr.. "ISIS-K" surprise attack on the airport and "ISIS-K" conveniently claimed responsibility.

    I call it total BS

    I'm not sure what it is, but there's something pathetic about this. Why didn't we drone the snakes before they murdered two hundred innocent, unarmed, non combative civilians and our fine Marines who were helping them. Why is all of this so bass ackwards?

    Boy, you are trying to split a thin hair.

    Airport gates are at the airport

    Apparently you've missed the weeks of news reports how difficult it has been for Americans to get to those airport gates.

    But you have helped to make the word, gate/s, important symbolism for this whole mess. "Gate/s" has been a "word of knowledge" for me the past several days. Gate/s = barbarians at the gate = fall of Rome. I understood that "gate/s" was an important "word of knowledge" while watching a Pentagon briefing the day before the explosion that killed so many at "Abbey Gate." I couldn't even count the many times the Pentagon general used that word, gate/s, so I knew it had greater meaning... and the next day it did have greater meaning. And it will become even more meaningful.

    That's exactly all it was. A hit against no one even worth naming immediately to pacify the sheep.

    He is absolutely responsible, and he has a duty to find better advisors if he was misled.
    IMO, this is not the time for our politicians to start playing musical chairs with the presidency - again.
    Biden needs to act and protect the nation - if he can.

    I'm not seeing a thread on this (unneeded) or a post in this thread, but the US, with the foreknowledge of the Taliban, blew up a truck loaded with explosives near the airport this AM

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/u-airstrike-takes-isis-k-144100022.html

    Good stuff... But we need to pick up the pace of killing ISIS-K ... I'm counting 5, with these 3 in the truck....

    Hard to imagine, but I suppose we should not underestimate the ability of our political class to make very bad decisions.

    Another explosion in Kabul on Sunday... this time a US drone strike against supposed terrorist in a car.

    Vehicle targeted by US strike Sunday contained a suicide bomber, US official says

    From CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh

    The vehicle that was targeted by the US in Sunday’s strike on Kabul was next to a building and contained one suicide bomber, a US official told CNN.

    It remains unclear if the vehicle was intended to be a car bomb, or if the suicide bomber was using it for transport.



    Taliban condemns US drone strike in Kabul

    From CNN's Nathan Hodge

    The Taliban on Sunday condemned a US drone strike against a suspected ISIS-K suicide bomber in Kabul, saying the United States had violated Afghanistan's sovereignty.

    Bilal Kareemi, a Taliban spokesperson, told CNN that it was "not right to conduct operations on others' soil" and that the US should have informed the Taliban...

    US Central Command said earlier that said the airstrike on a vehicle in Kabul targeted an “an imminent ISIS-K threat to Hamid Karzai International Airport.”

    Funny, that same guy (different name spelling) was attributed as saying the US DID pre-inform the Taliban (link in Post #140).... What we apparently didn't do is ask permission...

    Do you think we need to and which version of the story from the Taliban are you going to choose to believe?

    Seems clear they were told, but cannot be seen as not having 1000% control over Kabul...

    DON’T UNDERESTIMATE JOE’S ABILITY TO F*** THINGS UP: Biden droned the wrong guy, innocent aid worker killed in Kabul strike: NYT.

    “A US airstrike in Kabul against a supposed Islamic State bomber actually killed an innocent man who worked for a US aid group and his family, according to newly published testimony and footage — raising the specter that the Pentagon lied to the public about the strike. The reported case of mistaken identity also further tars President Biden for his chaotic pullout of US troops from Afghanistan, which left behind hundreds of US citizens and thousands of at-risk Afghans.”

    He's a complete Screw Up. Murdered an innocent man who worked for a US aid group, and he murdered his family. It's unbelievable that this drooling FU is the president of the United States.
