    That would be more casualties.

    Ask yourself this bud....
    How many Taliban died in the attack?

    My guess is zero.
    Yours?

    Now, 10 US servicemen reported dead. Casualties probably, higher and being hidden by the extreme liberal hacks protecting Joe Biden. What else are they lying about? And no sign of our illustrious leader, Joe Biden? Probably, shaking like a leaf asking his sycophants if it is safe to come out now.

    Like hell they do. Who the hell wants to keep fighting these battles for irrational old guys like you. You are deeply delusional. They need to get the hell out best they can. You can just go fuck yourself.

    Irrational old guys who want to sacrifice young people's lives to further their beliefs. The same guys who think attacking Iran on flimsy pretenses would be a good project.

    Biden got elected because he won S. Carolina in the primaries. Had it not been for the black vote there, he never would have been the nominee. I can understand why he carried the black vote there, they certainly didn't like Kamala, they trusted Obama, and that one very well respected politician there endorsed him. I forget his name.

    Its too bad Tulsi didn't win.
    I wonder what she has to say about all this.

    At this point I do think the troops in Kabul need to widen the perimeter to be larger than the airport. This would be for their safety and the safety of those trying to get flights. There needs to be more space for an orderly and organized departure -- with structured entry places allowing people to be checked in and passed (rather than large crowds outside the gates). This set-up would need to be backed up with helicopters & airpower. Either the Taliban can cooperate (and not attack) knowing we are leaving within days or they can start a fire-fight which would be futile & cause more civilian casualties.

    10 Marines now KIA.

    All I’ve heard the attacks were in the areas of the Abbey Gate (an entrance into the airfield) and the Baron Hotel, a short distance away.

    The Abbey Gate blast was the one caused our casualties. Obviously it happened directly outside the gate.

    Getting to that or any entry point onto the airfield has been next to impossible for those trying to evacuate.

    I haven’t read anything but I guarantee you they were let into the area and the Taliban knew about it in advance.
