At least 10 US service members have been killed and another three injured in two suicide bombing attacks outside Kabul airport Thursday, according to US officials. Pentagon press secretary John Kirby confirmed earlier that US troops had been killed but did not disclose the number. “A number of US service members were killed in today’s complex attack at Kabul airport. A number of others are being treated for wounds. We also know that a number of Afghans fell victim to this heinous attack,” he said. Initial estimates vary, but an Afghan health official told the New York Times that at least 40 people had been killed and 120 injured.

OP is correct. We can expect the truth to be disclosed incrementally. Our military personnel must be very nervous about additional bombings.

Total Americans KIA during 4 years of Trump? FOUR. 2 incidents with 2 deaths. One was a roadside bomb...the other a broken turbine blade on an E-11a electronic warfare/communications plane, causing it to crash(Basically a G-6 bizjet converted to be an airborne cell tower/repeater)

'complex' is the type of word you toss in when you want to slow down criticism. It implies no conclusion should be reached for now. i.e. 'just wait while our top people work on the problem.'

'complex' means giving a problem a modicum of thought; something this administration has no conceive of.

Twelve have now been confirmed killed. Eighteen months with no U.S. service members killed, and Biteme in one week gets 12 killed because he's an idiot with brain damage.

If Biden is mentally competent, he is even colder than Obama. Where is he? Why isn't he addressing this terrorist attack?

The Pentagon says they are relying on the Taliban to screen people getting to the airport gate. Madness.

Attack happened at gate area where Marines do body search.
MANY of the Marines on that duty are/were Female, because it would be Politically Incorrect NOT to have front line female soldiers doing it, both for the females being searched and "Equity!" in the US Armed Forces.

They didn't have a chance.

And now it's being reported that Comrade Xiden has disappeared, canceled all appearances and meetings. Off sucking his (thumb) and babbling in the corner, no doubt.
Remove this traitorous scum, today. Enough is enough of this.

I'm guessing that "complex" in the term, "complex attack" means either that the attack came simultaneously from multiple sources/directions, or that the attack was upon the airport "complex." Either way, JoBama's a useless waste of flesh; any one of these marines or navy men exhibit much more honor and love of country than JoeBama has ever done. And we might as well give up on Lloyd Austin and Thoroughly Incompetent Milley having any sense of how to defend this country and its fighting men.

I was thinking last night that I wonder if 0bama's ISIS is really in Afghanistan, or if them being there is really just a false flag operation by JoeBama , his spy agencies and the media, to give the Taliban cover for their own atrocities, so that Joe can claim that their deal with him is still in effect.

"Complex" means...either shots fired first then a bomb amid the responders...or....a bomb set off and small arms strafing the responders/crowd after. ISIS attacked a Hospital across from the embassy a few years ago...sent guys with guns and grenades up to the top floor, once in position set off a car bomb at the 1st floor doors, guys at the top started killing their way down to the ground, shooting DR's/Nurses/patients..over 30 killed. They also set off a carbomb out side a girls school killing 89+ wounding hundreds. Taliban started working with US to wipe them out, and we killed thousands of them, knocking them from around 8000 to less than 800. So much so that several hundred of the remaining all surrendered enmass and were imprisoned...at Bagram...Where Biden abandoned the base/the prison, and those K-Isis were all released, and massive amounts of Guns and explosives left behind were free for the taking.

Sorry. Nobody home. Biden declared a lid and is not available.
Supreme Allied Commander Vanilli Milley is on a diversity retreat and will not be available for a couple of weeks. A new supply of diversity flags is available, however.
VP Harris is grounded in Asia and not available.
Who is in charge?
Nobody.

The numbers keep increasing with each update, same as with the obscene volume of advanced weaponry the Pentagon gave them, and the amount of US cash stuffed into the Afghani president's helicopter as he fled to safety. That way our government doesn't look quite so foolish, because optics and personal vanity matter more than lives wasted for nothing.
