It must have been a huge SVEST. In addition to 13 American Servicemen killed and 18 American Servicemen wounded there were 94 Afghans killed.

Another (possibly larger), imminent attack may be underway. Also, small arms fire just reported at east gate.

I see the toxicity continues. A horrific sitting AFSOC three star gave double digit command directed Q-3s when he was a squadron commander.

First and foremost Trump would not have withheld airpower from the Afghan Army.

Peter Doocy asked a real question today and Biden nearly fell asleep trying to formulate an answer.

Stay safe brother, thank you for what you are doing.

Another blast....working details.

Now ten American service members dead...HORRIFIC.

There are no words...just sadness and anger.

Trying to work confirmation but several reports indicate there are now American Hostages.

It is heartbreaking. I have friends on the ground that are DESPERATELY trying to get their former Terps and other Afghan allies out. I wish I could share more, heroic measures being taken to try and save the men who fought with us and their families.

A very disturbing confirmed report....all gated being welded shut. Flares.mp4

And a third at the North gate. Also, Italian evac aircraft fire upon during departure. Bomb.mp4

It is likely NOT the Taliban. Despite Joe's lies, ISIS is alive and well in Afghanistan. Most likely it is ISIS-K (a sworn enemy of the Taliban), taking advantage of the situation to cause chaos.

Not on the news yet, but they just hit a second gate with suicide vests and now small arms. *** Edit - And now a third gate. Appears to be a complex attack on multiple gates. *** Edit American casualties...possibly a child. *** Edit - Confirmed Three American Soldiers injured.

SVBIED just detonated at Baron Gate - multiple casualties.

Feb 4, 2021 - President Joe Biden Speech: "And so — so is the message I want the world to hear today: America is back. America is back." "As I said in my inaugural address, we will repair our alliances and engage with the world once again, not to meet yesterday’s challenges, but today’s and tomorrow’s. American leadership must meet this new moment of advancing authoritarianism"

Latest reports say it is even worse at Kabul. Last night the Dept of State warned all Americans to leave the gate areas immediately due to an imminent threat. That threat warning was corroborated by multiple other nations early this morning and is ongoing. As of this morning they are only letting AMCITs in the gate, NO MORE SIV even if previously approved and a green card issued. Support agencies have been told ops stop at midnight and military forces will begin their evac to meet the Taliban Aug 31 deadline. Canada Govt initially said they would stay past Aug 31 if security allowed, have now decided to leave immediately. Last Canadian Evac flight leaves in a few hours. SIV holders have been advised to head for Uzbeck border, Pak border or Panjshir region to link with resistance forces.

At least our allies still have some stones! We look like stooges. Elite SAS troops rescued in dramatic desert operation

I don't want Trump to run again. I think if the election were held today the DNC would take an ass whipping based on what is happening...and it is going to get worse, a LOT worse. They just had a Senate Staff call and they accidentally released the number 4100....4100 Americans stranded on the other side of the Taliban checkpoints. They tried to retract the statement saying it might not be accurate. If we leave on the 31st and there are American left behind that will be a memory that can outlast even the ADHD of most Americas and the news cycle. It will most certainly be a landslide at the midterm. I live in Florida and support most of what Desantis has done, our economy is booming. I would like to see a more measured approach to COVID but we will see how it plays out. At this point I think the GOP ticket will be Desantis and Haley.

Understood...that is what I think will be some unresolved legal ground.

This should be different from the Anthrax fight. I understand the military has the authority now that the vaccine is approved but there are some serious issues that need to be addressed. What if a person has already had COVID and has natural immunity? I am sure there will be some who stand on principle and it will lead to some court cases...sadly those members will sacrifice their careers regardless of the ultimate outcome.

Let me see if I can get another down vote from Nuke. I truly don't understand how anyone can be happy with the way Biden is handling this debacle. It is now being reported he has been spending a LARGE amount of his time calling other Democrats trying to get support for his $5T spending plan. In what universe do you put a priority on a non-emergency spending plan instead of giving 100% of your time as the Commander in Chief focused on bringing Americans home? Not just SIV afghans but AMERICANS. Complete fail.

There is no doubt in my mind that the spin machine will twist this into several BPZ promotions.

Yes "unvaccinated." Fixed in post. Yes "comorbidities". Fixed in post. Spelled it right the first few times but spell check doesn't know the word.
