Crazy how accurate the intel was saying that an attack was imminent down to the day, but we sat back and ignored the intel that got us into this whole mess.
Troof.

If ISIS manages to blow up the runway….. Biden is openly putting the troops lives over the civilians, which is the exact opposite purpose for the military, but then they’ll be stranded there. If they blow up the runway he has to resign on the spot since he failed them then too.

I don't keep up with the talking head stuff anymore, so I legitimately don't know the answer to the question I'm about to ask:

What do people think of Glenn Beck these days? Is he viewed as a whack-job shill, or what?

Exactly.

They were pretty quick to blame ISIS when it could just as easily be the Taliban.

Or any other nutjob.

This was always likely. I've posted reports of "foreign fighters" in Afghanistan for nearly two weeks now.

No, he doesn't.

And won't.

I don't know what people think of him but I've been listening to him. He's actually over there trying to help. He cries a bit too much for my taste and usually over dramatizes things but I think he has the right motives.

Glenn Beck is actually sane these days and has apologized for the wack job he once was. He went on with Brian Stelter a few years ago and then opened the conversation with a haymaker: You have become me circa 2009.

And Brian asks seriously like an idiot if that was a compliment, which Glenn replies that it is not.

Well, the video Beck did last night was really something. If a 1/3 of what they say turns out to be true, this shitshow is worse than anyone thought.

Bomb the entire country at this point.

The Taliban told us this was coming. Because they are involved. Taliban is playing both sides of the fence on this. Telling us they are protecting us and allowing proxies to attack us.

This is a PR propaganda campaign by the Hakani network to make it look like they drove us out with our tail between our legs.

He's not resigning. We can have weeks of American troops beheaded on television and people will still support him because he's a democrat.

According to a journalist in Kabul, the preliminary reports say that 13 people were killed and 50 injured in the attack, with most of the casualties women and children, my colleague Julian Borger reports.

How could this have possibly happened? I mean, you're wholesale dependent on the Taliban for security and they put the Haqqani Network in charge of the joint. The headman of that outfit is one of the most wanted terrorists in the world. The US would give you five million dollars today if you could put a bullet in his head.

The sheep on Twitter still defending Biden in all of this is completely unbelievable to me. They have bought the propaganda hook line and sinker

If ISIS/radical end of the Taliban (let's remember the Taliban is not homogenous) make a move on the airport in masse it will make Blackhawk down look minor. Our military will have to decide to kill a whole lot of civilians caught in the cross fire or I don't know what.

It could be why they have been telling people to leave the airport, HKIA could be the Alamo of Afghanistan.
