Kabul Airport Explosion Kills Four U.S. Marines Amid Evacuations
WSJ ^ | 8.26.21 | Yaroslav Trofimov

At least three U.S. troops were injured, a U.S. official said. Witnesses reported multiple fatalities among the Afghans, many of whom were trying to enter the airport because they had assisted U.S.-led coalition efforts and feared persecution by the Taliban.

I cannot put into words how strongly I hate Biden and the communist Dems. There must be far more Afghans killed and wounded than the number that has been reported so far. Video shows total carnage.

Somebody should dig up Al Haig. (of the infamous phrase ‘I’m in charge here.’)

He’d do a better job than Biden at this point and he’s been dead for a few years.

Trump would lead, he would address America, he would handle all questions. Biden turns his back on America.

Biden MUST assume personal responsibility for this tragedy. But even if he resigns his handlers will remain in place. Nothing will change.

(I’m truly sorry for having to be so pessimistic here.)
