Besides handing the entire country over to the Taliban, so far Biden’s failure in Afghanistan has been speculative. What if Americans are stranded? What if Americans are captured of killed. All of that changed on Thursday when two bombs went off in Kabul, killing 12 U.S. service members and injuring 15 more. Biden’s catastrophe now has a body count.
Fox News reports:
A suicide bomb attack Thursday outside the Abbey Gate at Kabul’s airport in Afghanistan killed 12 U.S. service members and injured at least a dozen more, U.S. officials said – making it the deadliest day for U.S. troops in 10 years.
Officials told Fox News that those killed included 11 Marines and a Navy corpsman. Meanwhile, the Pentagon said that 15 more had been injured in the attack.
The suicide bomb attack was followed up by a firefight by Islamic State gunmen at the gate, where the night before there had been 5,000 Afghans and potentially some Americans seeking access to the airport to flee. Crowds had gathered for days seeking to escape the country, and there had been multiple warnings of a terror threat to the area – particularly from the Islamic State.
The Pentagon confirmed the initial explosion as well as a second attack at the Baron Hotel, where Americans have gathered in the past for rescue and evacuation. Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr. said two suicide bombers were assessed to be ISIS fighters.
Biden has yet to issue any statement regarding his colossal f*ck-up, but the head of diversity at the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, had this to say:
“On behalf of the men and women of the Department of Defense, I express deepest condolences to the loved ones and teammates of all those killed and wounded in Kabul today. Terrorists took their lives at the very moment these troops were trying to save the lives of others. We mourn their loss. We will treat their wounds. And we will support their families in what will most assuredly be devastating grief. But we will not be dissuaded from the task at hand,” said Austin.
Remember last week when Biden said he wouldn’t stand for attacks on our soldiers?
“We’ve been able — we’ve made — look, we’ve made clear to the Taliban that any attack — any attack on our forces or disruption of our operations at the airport will be met with a swift and forceful response,” Biden said.
It’s been over 7 hours since the attack and so far there hasn’t been a swift or forceful response.
Democrats impeached Donald Trump twice: once for making an innocuous phone call and a second time for telling people to go in peace. Let’s compare those “high crimes” to what Biden has done in the past 2 weeks:
Afghanistan has fallen into the hands of the Taliban is now the International House of Terrorism.
Biden armed these terrorists with billions of dollars worth of U.S. weapons and vehicles, including an air force.
Thousands of Americans are stranded in Afghanistan with little hope of being rescued and the Biden administration has no plan to find them.
Thousands of Afghan allies will not make out of Afghanistan and will certainly be murdered by the Taliban.
12 U.S. soldiers are dead because Biden completely botched the troop withdrawal.
Trump sent mean tweets and hurt people’s feelings. Joe Biden has literally killed people and there’s a lot more blood where that came from. This all because of his massive incompetence. He owns this and should be made to pay for it.
