Posted in response to that tweet:




Apparently the plane hadn't even landed when he tweeted that.

I mean, it was live video of Biden's motorcade. I'm sure it would have looked the same on FOX News.

20 years, thousands died, and people electing the same feckless politicians says we won’t and they know we won’t unleash our military to destroy them.

Right, they can find the "ISIS Instigators" of the bomb in five hours but they didn’t have intelligence to show that the Taliban was going to take over this quick? They just blew up random people to save some kind of face

The loss of 13 elite soldiers is a sad event. The age of ten was 23 and under, just a couple years out of high school.

I would have thought the experience level would have been higher. None of them could have been exposed to a firefight previously. Why were they doing duty out side the fence. Was the whole 5000 soldiers at that location of similar age

I had to question if this was real or not for a bit.


Did you get an answer? That was my thoughts as well but the Israeli even said something about it while it was occurring.

Heartbreaking listening to her so I was crying for her.

She was correct in everything she said and it needed to be said.

Good thing the radio guy was not as dismissive as the dementia ridden piece of crap would be.

This has felt like an inside job to me from the beginning.

Since there have been no more attacks it makes it feel like more of an inside job.

If you had all these ISis fighters running around, why have there been no further attacks against us or the Taliban if they are protecting us.

Remember right before this happened the CIA director had been there to talk to the Taliban. There was some talk that we may extend past the 31st. Then boom, Taliban flexes its muscle by either doing this or allowing it to happen and then blame someone else.


Agree 100% I’ve almost made this same post several times.

Why were they outside the fence after you said high likelihood of a suicide attack?

One of the last Instagram posts from fallen Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee in Kabul, who was killed in the suicide blast. She’s holding a rescued infant.

She was 23. RIP.
