A minor mission with minimal effectiveness was launched to “strike back” at ISIS-K for the bombing at the airport in Kabul. One ISIS “planner” — basically a middle manager — was killed in the strike which is being dubbed as retaliation for killing 13 Americans.
Mainstream media reports and the Pentagon are touting this as a huge blow to the terrorist organization and a demonstration of American power under Joe Biden. No, that is not a quote from a Babylon Bee story.
The story from the Associated Press reads like a propaganda piece from Communist China, though touting Biden’s decisive action and strong resolve instead of his buddy’s, Xi Jinping. Notice that they buried in paragraph seven the inconvenient note that they aren’t even sure the guy they blew up was involved in the attack.
Acting swiftly on President Joe Biden’s promise to retaliate for the deadly suicide bombing at Kabul airport, the U.S. military said it used a drone strike to kill a member of the Islamic State group’s Afghanistan affiliate Saturday.
The strike came amid what the White House called indications that IS planned to strike again as the U.S.-led evacuation from Kabul airport moved into its final days. Biden has set Tuesday as his deadline for completing the exit.
Biden authorized the drone strike and it was ordered by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, a defense official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to provide details not yet publicly announced.
The airstrike was launched from beyond Afghanistan less than 48 hours after the devastating Kabul attack that killed 13 Americans and scores of Afghans with just days left in a final U.S. withdrawal after 20 years of war. U.S. Central Command provided few details; it said it believed its strike killed no civilians.

How smart is this with thousands of potential hostages in-country?
So NOW the dementia riddled buffoon does something..how about doing this BEFORE 200 people including 13 American heroes were slaughtered yesterday, would have been nice..yeah Im happy the MFer is dead but too little too late, the damage is already done..there are 2,000 more just like him
How do we know there was an air strike?
I’m not buying it. Dems can make any claim and get away with it.
i bet he threw rocks at hornets nests when he was a kid so his little brother could get stung
I heard biden was taking out an art dealer for non payment
Great excuse for them to seek revenge now. Maybe a 1000 to 1, like the Nazis did.
Biden probably received permission from the Taliban to knock off a minor ISIS member. But with the way the Pentagon has been screwing up everything they touch, they probably killed an innocent goat-herder.
Everything is a lie.
Sickening and sad state of affairs.

I don’t know if any more C-17s are flying out of Kabul, but it couldn’t be that hard to down one. Just seems like there’s too much potential for loss of in ocent Smeticsns. With 9-11 approaching....?
Brilliant.
Will evacuations outpace executions?
Wag the Dog all the time.
Congrats on being the last actual FR post before the Spammers from Planet X apparently took over. Wow. A day that will go down in history! Never seen such a thing.
Jimrob is going to have quite a weekend. Someone send tech support some pizza.
I thought Joe said we’d settle the score after the withdrawal was complete.
Reckless any way you cut it.

neo con neo lib
What’d he do, drop some more intel?
