That didn't take long.

Quote:

Multiple U.S. troops were killed and others wounded when two explosions shook the area outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul in rapid succession this morning, where the United States and NATO allies had been evacuating thousands of people from the city, two U.S. officials told POLITICO.

“We can confirm that the explosion at the Abbey Gate was the result of a complex attack that resulted in a number of US & civilian casualties,” tweeted Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby, referring to the entrance to the airport, where four sources tell POLITICO that U.S. personnel until recently welcomed American citizens to board evacuation flights.

Kirby also confirmed a second explosion at or near the Baron Hotel, roughly 300 meters from the site of the first detonation. British troops had been using the hotel as a base for evacuating UK personnel.

An ISIS militant wearing a suicide vest was responsible for the first bombing, two U.S. officials and a person familiar with the situation told POLITICO, detonating around 5 p.m. local time just outside Abbey gate. Three sources said the U.S. troops returned fire soon after.

Golly, I didn’t know hypocrisy was defined by a U.S. Code of law.

Hypocrisy is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another or the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform.

Doesn’t matter where you live.

Restricting the rights of others in one place while making them available to kill people trying escape another place Is IMO hypocrisy.

Apparently 4 U.S. Marines dead, 3 wounded, no word yet on civilian casualties.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to prevent that sort of attack with the current situation around the airport.

Only because you don't understand jurisdiction, criminal behavior or sovereignty. Then you can throw around any word you want to express your emotional viewpoint.

Nuthin' bad goes outta style We got caught doing a British Empire nation building thing in Afghanistan and the Fiasco still resonates from the first time...in 1842

<'Remnants of an Army' by Elizabeth Butler portraying William Brydon arriving at the gates of Jalalabad as the only survivor of a 16,500 strong evacuation from Kabul in January 1842. Supposedly Brydon was the last survivor of the approximately 16,000 soldiers and camp followers from the 1842 retreat from Kabul in the First Anglo-Afghan War, and is shown toiling the last few miles to safety on an exhausted and dying horse. In fact a few other stragglers from the army eventually arrived, and larger numbers were eventually released or rescued after spending time as captives of Afghan forces. The Russians marched out in retreat;
and we can't learn from the mistakes of others??!!

More explosions in a district were Hazara people form a strong population. They are not Pashtun, and Shia. Taleban, which are Pashtun, have committed many atrocities against them, but I think this attack too is committed by the IS Province Koramsha. The IS and the Taleban are enemies, too, since the Taleban are a local Pashtun faction with only regional ambitions, the IS however claims sole representation of all Muslims and thus is internationally oriented, demanding the Taleban's subjugation under their leadership.

The war in Afghanistan is far from over. Only the Western participation with ground troops has come to an end.

There are a couple of smaller militia networks in play, too, many of these without religious ideology as a basis, but criminal profit craving of warlords running them.

Negotiations are being done with the Taleban to pay them for letting people move out after August 31st. The Western diplomats will be ripped off, their position is hilariously weak. Sojmew of the worst Afghan terrorists will be part of the Afghan Taleban government - and these are the people we now pay and negotiate with. And the US military and the Taleban in Kabul suddenly share concerns and interests for establishing shared security. When you think things cannot get any more absurd, they do become right more absurd.

More Western nations have ended their military operations and evacuations in Kabul. The Bundeswehr planned three flights tomorrow, Friday, for the soldiers exclusively, after the attack the German generla gave order for immediate emergency getout, and all these flights have been conducted early and immediately after the first attacks on Thursday instead. They are comleted and retutrned to taishkent. No more German planes to Afghanistan on Friday - its all over.

Incredible.

The Taliban seem set in flipping this Win into a Loss on the last play of the game.

I haven't seen a mis-read of intentions this bad since Saddam tried fronting to the US and NATO.

"Seriously? We were trying to figure out what to do with all of these trained soldiers and hardware from the Cold War. You want us to attack? Well, sure, I guess we could.."

mapuc · 08-26-21, 04:23 PM

Will there be more terror attacks before 31th of August ?

This is the deadline where American and other countries troop should have left Kabul and Afghanistan.

No doubt that there will be terror after this day.

It is highly likely it was not the Taliban.

ISIS has taken responsibility for yesterdays attack. In the news here at night
Biden consider to order a strike against ISIS.

Don't hold your breath.

ISIS might have pulled the trigger on the suicide bombs but Joe Biden is the one who is directly responsible for our troops getting killed. They are only there now because he flubbed up the withdrawal and had to send them back over there to cover the mess he created. Their blood is on his hands and I say that everyone who voted for him shares a part of that responsibility for putting the Dufus in the oval office just because you didn't like mean tweets.

Really? Then Trump gets the honor of being the mastermind behind setting up a fixed deadline without conditions that started the bloody ball rolling.

ET2SN · 08-26-21, 08:15 PM

Mean Tweets signed the deal with the Taliban in the first place.

That blood is all over Donny's tie.

Still, I feel bad for China. That "the enemy of my enemy" stuff just bit them hard. If ISIS hates the Taliban more than the US, it will only take an extra 200 years or so for that Belt And Road deal to get finished.

Trump would have done things in the following order:

1. Evac civilians and Afghan collaborators.
2. Remove our destroy any US war material.
3. Withdraw all troops.
4. Destroy Bagram from the air.

Biden, on the other hand (rather his tard wranglers who are actually in charge) are so detached from reality that closing up shop in the dead of night leaving equipment, civilians, and Afghan collaborators to fend for themselves seemed reasonable, amirite?
