Mainecat Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 US says drone kills IS bombers targeting Kabul airport Source: Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A U.S. drone strike blew up a vehicle carrying “multiple suicide bombers” from Afghanistan’s Islamic State affiliate on Sunday before they could attack the ongoing military evacuation at Kabul’s international airport, American officials said. The strike came just two days before the U.S. is set to conclude a massive airlift of tens of thousands of Afghan and foreign civilians and withdraw the last of its troops, ending America’s longest war with the Taliban back in power. The U.S. State Department released a statement signed by around 100 countries, as well as NATO and the European Union, saying they had received “assurances” from the Taliban that people with travel documents would still be able to leave the country freely. The Taliban have said they will allow normal travel after the U.S. withdrawal is completed on Tuesday and they assume control of the airport. At around the same time as the drone strike, Afghan police said a rocket hit a neighborhood near the airport, killing a child. Rashid, the Kabul police chief, who goes by one name, confirmed the rocket attack, and video obtained by The Associated Press showed smoke rising from a building around a kilometer (half a mile) from the airport.

Guest Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 They are calling for his RESIGNATION!! He should be charged with DERELICTION OF DUTY. Biden was/is an aberration of a candidate.

They need 66 senators to vote for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phenom Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I’m looking at it from the perspective of lives lost after the US exited from an area of conflict. The Taliban pushed us out and the Khmer Rouge forced us out of Cambodia. My except reports millions of Cambodians killed after our exit. Time will tell the number of those exterminated after Augment 31st in Afghanistan. Also, is the taliban keeps to their word and lets Forign passport holders leave via commercial flight after they take control and manage flights. The world will be watching.
