Two suicide bombing attacks in Kabul have resulted in American, allied and civilian casualties. Both blasts were just outside the gates of the Kabul International Airport. One detonation at the “Abbey Gate”, and the second detonation appears to have happened between the Baron Hotel and the “Baron Gate” entrance.
There are U.S., U.K. and civilian casualties. The Associated Press is reporting 13 fatalities. Pentagon Spokesperson John Kirby confirmed some of the original, albeit sketchy, details:
♦ Associated Press – KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Two suicide bombers and gunmen targeted crowds massing near the Kabul airport Thursday, in the waning days of a massive airlift that has drawn thousands of people seeking to flee the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. At least 13 people were killed and 15 wounded, Russian officials said.
A U.S. official said the complex attack was “definitely believed” to have been carried out by the Islamic State group, whose affiliate in Afghanistan grew out of disaffected Taliban members who hold an even more extreme view of Islam.
At least 13 people died and 15 were wounded, according to Russia’s Foreign Ministry, which gave the first official casualty count. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby also confirmed the blasts, saying one was near an airport entrance and another was a short distance away by a hotel.
The U.S. official said members of the U.S. military were among the wounded. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing operations.
Even as the area was hit, the official said evacuation flights continued to take off from Kabul airport, which Western governments earlier warned was a target.
One explosion went off in a crowd of people waiting to enter the airport, according to Adam Khan, an Afghan waiting nearby. He said several people appeared to have been killed or wounded, including some who lost body parts.
The Taliban condemned the attack, saying it happened it an area controlled by U.S. forces. (read more)
♦ Reuters Newswire – WASHINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) – There were at least two explosions near Kabul’s airport amid a huge and chaotic evacuation effort from Afghanistan on Thursday, the Pentagon said, with civilians and U.S. service members among the casualties of what was described as a “complex attack.”
A source familiar with U.S. congressional briefings said U.S. officials strongly believe that the Afghan affiliate of Islamic State, known as Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), after an old name for the region, was responsible. ISIS-K is opposed by the United States and the Taliban.
A Taliban official said at least 13 people were killed in the blast, including children, and many Taliban guards were wounded. A U.S. official, citing initial information, told Reuters as many as 5 U.S. military personnel may have been hurt, including at least one seriously.
A surgical hospital run by an Italian charity said it was treating more than 60 wounded. The attacks came after the United States and allies urged Afghans to leave the area because of a threat by Islamic State militants. (read more)
This explains his approval of ChiCom Joe’s extremist radical leftist Federal Judge nominees! God help us and all those trapped/stranded in Afghanistan! Hosanna!

Hang this picture around Grahamnesty’s neck with an inset of photos of the fiasco we just endured in Kabul as the cherry on top. Dangle him with it. If you support one, then you support the other, Grahamnesty.
People like Graham even give “evil” a bad name. Cannot be trusted even in a ****house with a muzzle on.
D bag Trey Gowdy says that Republicans will overplay their hands if they try to impeach Biden. Should just focus on 2022 midterms. My Lord what a scumbag!
Shut up ‼️
These RINO / phony / sell outs make me sick . What was Gowdys net worth before Congress and what is it now ? , has he reached 8 plus figures yet ?
“He was elected” Not quite Gowdy, not quite.
Gowdy used to say the same sort of crap about all of Hillary’s crimes. Wasn’t he a prosecutor? It seems very odd to me.
Its not “odd” at all! Rooster Goudy was the epitome of how globalists posing as “Republicons” have played a KEY role in our countries destruction.
He chaired the investigate to exhonerate in 3 big Obama scandals; Fast/Furious, Tea Party/IRS, and Benghazi.
Cause “Republicons” had to conduct the hearings, in order to A) conceal their own complicity in all three, and B) give the hearings the versimilitude of legitimacy.
Much like “Bondo Barr”, investigate to exhonerate is a major way the Republicon/Decepticons have furthered the leftist, globalist agenda.
And then when Nunes was forced to step down as chairman, just when he was getting somewhere (due to a bogus investigation) GOWDY moves up to chairman, to safely insure nothing happens, until after the House flips.
THATS how DC operates, and its the Uniparty in action.
The leftists NEVER could have taken our traditionally center right country so far LEFT, without the active participation of Republicon leadership in Congress.
Gowdy EARNED his position in the CCP-USA, you can be assured of THAT!
I have known assistant state attorneys (DAs in other jurisdictions) that were afraid of going to trial. They’d plead out every case if they could get away with it. Maybe Roosterhead was one of the cowardly prosecutors who were scared of juries, judges, and defense counsel?
Still waiting for people to be held accountable for Benghazi, Trey.
Don’t want to ever see his face or hear him talk.
In summary, the Biden Administration has taken what was suppose to be a peaceful and orderly military withdrawal, and has turned it into a full blown civil war.
Feature or flaw?
CIA op
Trillions at stake. Just think of all those opium fields going to waste.
Seems quick to identify the perpetrators. Must be a stray passport they found at the scene?
If it was just a civil war, United States Marines would not be KIA.
Or the start of WW3
Need I point out how convenient it is for both the Taliban and the Current Administration that “ISIS” is being blamed for these attacks? Nothing like finding a common enemy to provide political cover for a mass-ransom operation embarrassing to both parties.
Duncekirk.
Defies all logic for there to be a collaboration like what has been in evidence. How hard would it have been for the government to say you let us get out in whatever the time we do, or if your leaders with their social media campaign better be pulling out umbrellas coyote-style for what is going to come as far as targeted strikes? From a military perspective, don’t you think that might engender more collaborative approach to closing the barn door efficiently? And since they’ve done stuff like that before, why aren’t they doing it now?
Remember what sundance asked: “What is the price Biden is willing to pay to prevent an American plane being shot out of the sky?”
For Current Administration, an ISIS attack can serve as the excuse for leaving Americans, Westerners, and other allies to their fate. “Big bad Isis came in and destroyed the plan to get everyone out. Otherwise…”
Whether it is responsible or not, blaming ISIS allows the Taliban to continue negotiating while simultaneously stepping up the pressure.
There does not have to be a collaboration in order for two opposed parties to agree on a mutual beneficial story.
What you are describing, is Trumps plan, that Biden scrapped in July.
A staged withdrawal, and a clear understanding that ANY hostile actions, at ANY stage, would result in us bombing the Taliban till the rubble bounces.
Stage one, evacuation of our civilians and afgans who helped us, with their families, using Bagram AFB.
Stage two; taking out all our military equipment, and destroying what we couldn’t take.
Stage 3, a military withdrawal of our military personelle.
Its NOT rocket science, and its not the first time this has ever happened.
“Its just common sense!”
Biden people scrapped the Trump plan, along with undoing EVERYTHING else Trump did, and yet kept to the commitment to withdraw.
HAD to be intentional, and CCP HAD to be calling the shots, as this is the worst possible way to withdraw.
Long term message to any future allies, DO NOT partner with the U.S.
AND, a whole generation of Americans who will oppose ANY military interventions in the future, even for self defense.
CCP are the winners, America the losers.
Biden IS an agent of the CCP, installed in office as a direct result of CCP interference in our elections.
Occams razor cuts, again.
“Nothing like finding a common enemy to provide political cover …”
Talking head on TV just quoted the islamic credo
“My brother and I against my cousin”
“My cousin and I against the stranger”
Indeed.
So no one finds it suspicious that a few days before all the US troops have left there are 3 bombings done by supposed enemies of the Taliban. What possible benefit is it for them to have done this at this time?
Drum beat to restart the forever war this time the US as support for the Taliban allied against the evil ISIS.
Lets send more troops back in to teach hm a lesson eh. Just as they were finally exiting after decades.
Another 20 years and thousands of lives later…..
And the DS also gets to swap out Potato head with the chosen one…
This stinks to high heaven.
unreal
Lookit that ugly demonically possessed creature.
We’re not winning
IN FACT: We are losing bigly.
Ms Lindsey must have taught her about that letter writing BS.
I thought that was James Brown
They will stay in hiding for a few more days and then proclaim: “That was four days ago, five days ago! Come on man! At this point, what difference does it make?”
U S Dept of State – Press Briefing Schedule – (August 26) There will not be Press Briefing today …
Gutless Cowards
Perhaps fundraising (nests aren’t known for feathering themselves) or vacationing are the current priorities?
10 U.S. service members dead at Abbey Gate. Biden needs to be removed from office. Our casualties and those of our “former” allied partners… are all his fault.
God have mercy.
Yes, God have mercy on the victims of this fraudulent Obiden regime all across the board here and abroad.
While our soldiers lie dead on the ground Gov. Dan McKee in RI is giving a covid mandate/vaccine appeal at a pharmacy and just told us to come on down, get the jab, and an ICE CREAM CONE! How disgustingly insensitive.
FNC now reporting 10 U.S. troops killed in the attack outside Abbey gate.
$%&+#
$%&+# TIMES 100!
Praying for the 10 US Marines who were killed today and the injured. Please keep them and their families all in your prayers.
If Biden isn’t impeached and thrown in prison for murder (as PDJT would be if he did this) then there will be “no justice, no peace”
Pray for all left there also.
Right on – and that’s what we should do now but with a slightly different agenda.
Now saying 10 service people dead
Yes, Fox is reporting 10 marines and soldiers.
10 US Marines and soldiers killed in Kabul, Afghanistan suicide bombing, officials sayAt least 10 U.S. Marines and soldiers have been killed in the suicide bombing outside Kabul airport Thursday, U.S. officials tell Fox News.
I found it interesting the earliest reported source for details, came from RUSSIAN sources,…
18 months with ZERO U.S. Service personelle casualties, and then Bidens just HAD to muck it up.
Dozens wounded.
The party of Benghazi, Waco, and Ruby Ridge have outdone themselves.
Make these mouthbreathing smug SOBs own this forever.
As have the intelligence agencies who conducted all of those ops.
And so it begins
10 US servicemen have been killed.
Measures must be taken.
Their own commanders set them up. Fish in a barrel, don’t have to attend West Point to see that.
Yep. I cringed when I saw video of those Marines at the barbed wire leaning over to help people. I knew they were exposed and in extreme danger.
In my view, measures have been taken. That’s what got these soldiers killed.
What this will mean is all civilian flights out will end. So- how is it we KNEW on Tuesday morning, that civilians only had 72 hours left to leave?
https://ussanews.com/News1/2021/08/25/report-us-forces-have-stopped-taking-afghans-wants-to-be-fully-out-in-72-hours-bret-baier/
The O’biden regime and its generals hate America and setup its soldiers. They are against America, we’ve heard the views of the woke Secretary of defense and general.
Just review the 2016 Democratic Convention.
ANYONE who took the stage, who had ANY association with the military, was booed; even Pannetta, as a former SecDef, was booed off the stage.
And there was none of that “We support the troops, just don’t support the mission” b.s. they tried to project, for p.r.
They were back to spitting on the troops, just like the “good ole days” of Hanoi Jane.
Oh, good. Will he have to skip another nap in order to get the swift and forceful response in the air?
Biden regime already prepping those full-auto tweets
Biden’s “… swift and forceful response,”….. “Fire those aircraft up. We gotta get out of here NOW!”
And why is it our own intelligence agencies are not reporting this but the Russians and other countries are telling us this.
Our intelligence agencies are involved in the killing of American troops on foreign soil and other countries have to tell us.
Poor Bo. He doesn’t realize whatever “Biden” or anyone else in the administration, is a lie.

The the joint staff is a disgrace.
Covering for Biden’s dementia and incompetence while their troops are slaughtered.
“A U.S. official said the complex attack was “definitely believed” to have been carried out by the Islamic State group, whose affiliate in Afghanistan grew out of disaffected Taliban members who hold an even more extreme view of Islam.“
Since when are suicide attacks complex? Why do all the headlines emphasize that this was a “complex” attack? Suicide attacks are primitive.
Also, it’s notable that the Biden Administration doesn’t hold the Taliban responsible. Instead it’s the Islamic State.
File under: the enemy of my enemy is willing to blow themselves up.
So, looks like the ISIS-K is the Taliban’s Antifa
That’s because Biden, his State dept. and generals are responsible. . . wholly, and we must hold THEM accountable! There needs to be an independent investigation to uncover the truth (wishful thinking) of this entire fustercluck operation.
May god bless the fallen and injured soldiers and their families.
Its called a narrative. Its such a strange word to use it must link to something else they are preparing the ground for.
I went into detail about this elsewhere.
“Complex” or “sophistcated” is code-word for a planned attack conducted by multiple teams of trained jihadis. The classic example was the November 13, 2015 attacks in Paris, of which the Bataclan Theater Massacre is the most remembered.
In contrast, “lone wolf” is code word for an attack of opportunity conducted by a single (active) jihadi using a knife or vehicle to attack pedestrians.
“Complex” means the person speaking wants you to blame ISIS. “Lone Wolf” means the person speaking wants you to believe “Not all Muslims.”
“A US official” wants us to be mad at ISIS today, whether we should be or not.
Unfortunately, this is how you get result. Do you really believe anyone will pay attention let alone siding with radical Muslims if they hold peaceful protests? Peaceful protests only work when the other side already ready to give in. The other 99% of the time, you want to change your “oppressors”, you must be willing to fight and sacrifice yourself for the cause you believe in. Now, you get their attention, scare, ready to yield to your demands. You must make your enemies and their families feel unsafe anywhere and anytime. That’s the turning point and the odd in your favor.
That is what I was doctrinated by communist regime in grade school.
― Thomas Jefferson
You watch; while the Bidenites have NO interest in excercising military power in afghanistan, and no desire to excercise police power in the U.S. against leftist mobs, they won’t hesitate to abuse such powers against American citisens.
We HAVE BEEN targeted, we will CONTINUE to be targeted, and with a lot more than just a lowered “social score”; just ask ashley, Seth, edward, assange, or those Jan 6 citisens rotting in jail.
They ARE coming after US, and Trump no longer stands in their way.
I just wish he would/could repudiate his stance on vaccines, admit he was conned with the whole covid nonsense, and concede “if I knew then, what I know now, I would have responded very differently!”
Every time I hear him tout “operation warp speed”, I CRINGE!

10 American troops dead now because of Biden.
A press report said some Americans were airlifted by helicopter from the Baron earlier in the crisis.
Gee golly wilikers…!!! Airlift……from the Baron…..to the airport….!!!
The hotel compound is basically almost attached to the airport grounds.
An airport gate is walking distance from it. We were taken the VERY short distance in a small convoy of heavily armored SUVs each day. From the airport gate we took a bus on about a 10 minute drive around the runway areas to the Military side of airport.
It boggles the mind to consider —— the security situation has deteriorated to the point they needed helicopters to rescue people at the Baron…….

10 service members- some marines and soldiers – lets not forget the 82nd Airborne is there too.
10 us Marines dead now.. sickening!
Politicians will think nothing of lying at their funerals.
Don’t let this cowards off the hook.
i predict zero consequences. anyone wanna bet against me?
By ‘consequences’, do you mean like the Military Industrial Complex getting another giant, grifted taxpayer funded check (to replace all the ‘forfeited’ gear + pre-orders to ‘deal’ with this manufactured crisis?) Then ..no. Don’t want to bet against. you…
Don’t forget French, Frum, Kristol, Rubin, and the rest.
Especially as our mil tech starts showing up in terrorist attacks across the west in coming years.
Ten Marine deaths is 10 too many. We can no longer hide or cower behind our walls, nor can our leaders. It’s time to carpet bomb these 7 century terrorists. Turn Afghanistan into a real desert….NOW.
Another 20 years and more trillions?
Does this not seem staged to get people to want just that?
Not what I am saying….at all. Get out of the cesspool that we should never have entered, Put the military on planes today and get the F… out. I have been on the ground about 3 miles from a B-52 strike…..they are very effective. Collateral damage be damned. We have hostile targets in the open and the means to take them out. Not one more American life.
Bingo, can anyone name one instance when cluster bombs fail?
They need to get the $3.5T jammed through first… one thing at a time, @BryanDeanWright!
no we don’t. we just demand a day or two of social media outrage and re-election campaign posturing.
According to the Senate calendar they are out until September 13.
Out past the 20th anniversary. How about that.
They are schmoozing up with big campaign donors over the infrastructure bill, reminding them how valuable they are.
Really interesting interview here for those who didn’t see Eric Prince on Tucker already. Apparently this disaster could lead to the US$ no longer being the reserve currency which would bring the end of the welfare state – the shift would be worse than 1929.
Plan accordingly because no one seems to be able to stop this agent of China from destroying the West. I suppose this is why Hunter got billions from China to play with.
https://generaldispatch.whatfinger.com/erik-prince-reveals-he-once-rescued-biden-in-afghanistan/
It has been a house of cards for a while. I told someone a while back, after the first stimulus, that we were one stimulus away from Venezuela. They looked at me for a moment, and said “well, I thought I was done preparing……..maybe not”.
Barter, the ability to provide for yourself, and marketable (real) skills will be the order of the day.
Lora Logan explained history & current situations plus the mind-blowing assertion that the NSA was listening & watching EVERY conversation in ME as the US funded Pakistan’s ISI, who funded Taliban & the whole effort for 20 years. Eric Prince added to the picture by predicting the consequences of this catastrophe. Predicted a collapse of NATO, other treaties, collapse of the PetroDollar, collapse of credit sources(FR), etc. Collapsing credit makes America “live within its means” which will collapse the Welfare State. The Democrats know the plan, hence pushing the $5 TRILLION spending orgy while we don’t know the consequences in store yet.
How does their 5 trillion bankrupty plan help the rats? Is it “get it while you can”?
This is out and out treason.
Is the DS deliberately trying to provoke something here in the US?

Are they trying to get us to IMPEACH BIDEN, and therefore we are willfully choosing Kamala??
Or God forbid, Nancy…
thats not a new narrative – for the last couple years at least, the entire government response has been quite confident: “eff you peasant, whatcha gonna do about it?”
And our response should now be “F around and find out.”
Devastating, sad, and unnecessary – the death toll has risen to 10 dead U.S. soldiers.

The impeach un-President Joe Biden immediately. And how about those 18,000 Afghanistan military-aged men saved for America while Americans were left!. Where are they housed. On hidden un-military bases?
impeach? who is gonna impeach? Thats something you do when you have a functioning republic.
My dear friend’s nephew is in the military (don’t know which branch) & at the Kabul airport. I humbly ask for prayers for this young man.(and, of course) all of the Americans there)????
Yes. Prayers sent. May God keep all US and allied servicemembers safe in His hands through this unmitigated disaster.
10 service members confirmed dead.

Time to return PDJT to the WH. Any tactical suggestions? ?
Yes, we the people show up at the captitol, armed this time, and kick out everybody in the building and surrounding buildings. This has gone on long enough.
Now that the Taliban have violate the “agreement” regarding the August 31 pullout date, we have no reason to stick to it.
The bad guys have surface-to-air missiles… pretty good ones, too!
That’s why they are blaming ISIS.
That c*cksucker better not come out and start talking about vaccines and hurricanes, or I’ll punch his lights out right thru the television
I’m on the fence about tuning in… I just don’t think I can deal with it right now.
Read a transcription later…..there is a limit to how much we can take in at any given time and still be functional….and that goes for every human being. When there is this kind of 24/7/365 assault on our senses and our knowledge, know our limits and guard our boundaries at a personal level.
I gave you one upvote, Nim, but you deserve 1,000+.
What will the CCP allow Biden to do about this attack?
I’m unsure the CCP will have time to think about it, given that they are focused on the thank you cards for all of the US military tech they are about to inherit from the Taliban.
So we are to believe that the Taliban had nothing to do with this. Give me a break. Everyone knows the place is filled with terrorists and they all are one. Blood on Biden and his administration grows more red every day.
BREAKING: At least 10 US service members killed in Kabul airport attack – Fox News
Who do you think they send to Andrews to receive the coffins? Biden? Kamala?
With this heartless administration, I suspect they’ll not send anyone. Too dangerous they’ll claim. I think they might be right.
They have no shame. They’ll probably both go.
I hope they send a rep to Andrews because Dover is the only base in the U.S. that receives our fallen.
looks like bidens fault.
sounds like bidens fault.
smells like bidens fault.
but i bet they blame Trump .
Biden’s not calling the shots. We don’t know who is for sure, but we all have our theories.
He’s been an empty suit since his Corn Pop speech.
Biden took the oath. He’s responsible. Him and his administration.
It may be a Biden,, but god forbid it be HUNTER!
Biden could get caught in the act of stabbing an old lady in the back, and they’d impeach Trump for it.
Deadliest day since Obama— that can’t be a coincidence.
Who in their right mind would arm the Taliban (and whoever else) and equip them than better than most countries.
They really tried to sell it was a matter of cost of shipping them home. . How completely moronic. You have to question their real motivations.
We should call “cornpop”!
He was a “bad dude”. He could whip up on that talliban.
Nothing sophisticated about targeting unprotected crowds on the run!
i know, what does that even mean? the REASON they go for suicide attacks is because its super low tech and no real strategic skill needed
Milley and the JCs and Austin and Osama have all allowed 10 U.S. Marines and soldiers to die in this preventable attack.
What will be done to any of those responsible for allowing this to happen ?
Do people see yet what is truly going on ?
They spent four+ years calling Trump a dictator and puppet of Russia, for random facebook advertisements and border control.
Biden just armed an army of our enemies and random terrorists for decades, and wants you to show ID both at restaurants and to cross state lines while strongly being coerced into a medical procedure.
Clown World.
The perfect excuse to move troops back in…the goal from Pentagon is always WAR, and not to be ended for any President. Wondering how much money our crooked Intel Community has payed the family of the bombers, or are the family being shipped here as a reward.
Will Joe Biden and Kamala Harris be at Dover AFB to greet the Marines and Soldiers killed today as all those flag-draped caskets are unloaded one-by-one? ???
Yes, on the way to their Delaware beach house for the weekend (eyes rolling).
