    But I thought they were kinder and gentler terrorists? Couldn't they wait till we left before blowing themselves up in crowds?

      Did you see the blunder where he gave a grinning smart-butt response to the reporter, but the White House had already cut his mic?
      Unfortunately for the White House, the Press Pool's audio feed was still live.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        It's only the beginning, and, yes, it's gonna get even uglier.

          Apparently they are blaming "ISIS-K"

          I thought the Taliban was in control of the country? Are they or not? I think "ISIS-K" is a convenient boogeyman that the Taliban wants to use to let them get away with whatever atrocities they want. "It wasn't us! It was Isis-K! Yeah, That's the ticket!"

              Isis-K sounds like a breakfast cereal...

                And the Biden Team can't get their stories straight, with State claiming one thing, Defense another, Biden yet another, Psaki something else ---- ISIS is not in Afghanistan, yes they are, no they are not, the Taliban is the JV Team....

                • Two suicide attacks outside Kabul airport; Russia says 13 dead

                  KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Two suicide bombers and gunmen attacked crowds of Afghans flocking to Kabul’s airport Thursday, transforming a scene of desperation into one of horror in the waning days of an airlift for those fleeing the Taliban takeover. At least 13 people were killed and dozens wounded, Russian officials and aid workers said.

                  At least 12 U.S. service members were among the dead, including 11 Marines and one Navy medic, according to two U.S. officials. Officials say a number of US military troops were wounded and warned the toll could grow. It was not clear if they were included in the Russian toll.

                  One of the bombers struck people standing knee-deep in a wastewater canal under the sweltering sun, throwing bodies into the fetid water. Those who moments earlier had hoped to get on flights out could be seen carrying the wounded to ambulances in a daze, their own clothes darkened with blood.

                  A second U.S. official said the complex attack was believed to have been carried out by the Islamic State group. The IS affiliate in Afghanistan is far more radical than the Taliban, who recently took control of the country in a lightning blitz and condemned the attack.

                  Western officials had warned of a major attack, urging people to leave the airport, but that advice went largely unheeded by Afghans desperate to escape the country in the last few days of an American-led evacuation before the U.S. officially ends its 20-year presence on Aug. 31.

                      So the whole story is that we don't need to be in Afghanistan any more because it is no longer a threat to us, but we can't even get out of the country before some suicide bomber kills a bunch of American marines and afghan civilians. That doesn't bode well for the whole "they are no longer a threat to us" talking points Biden and the Pentagon have been spewing.

                        While Kirby was already hinting that we needed to complete our withdrawal BEFORE the 31st, because some really bad things were about to happen.

                          Old Joe repeatedly assured us that ISIS was not in Afghanistan even after all evidence clearly shows they have a presence there.
