Original Article

The United States used a relatively new gruesome, but effective kind of missile for its first retaliatory strike after the suicide bombings at the Kabul airport. The Wall Street Journal: Washington—The Pentagon used a special Hellfire missile that packs no explosives to strike Islamic State militants in Afghanistan on Saturday in retaliation for a suicide bomb attack at the Kabul airport last week, according to two U.S. officials. The airstrike, carried out by a Reaper drone flown from the Persian Gulf region, killed two militants associated with the Afghanistan offshoot of the Islamic State extremist group, and injured a third individual. The Pentagon declined to release the identities

Even PJ Media is swallowing this tripe. The R9X is the same missile they used to cut Solemani into chunks. The video being shown does not match the story in any way, nor does it match the kind of damage seen when the R9X was used against Solemani. I am sick of being lied to by this damn government.

Beat me to it C.A.T.I...though this likely rides in the same hellfire casing as the R9x, there are numerous kinetic or low explosive designs that do. This one buried itself at least 4feet deep and spatter pelted surrounding walls, but had a low explosive perhaps also directional payload, though not the Ninja Knives which have an approx 3ft range, no charring, no spatter, no explosion.

In a PR pinch Yosef Bidet killed two no-name tricyclers. So spake the CIA. Problem is no one believes what the CIA says because they are anti-American New World Ordists.. No one believes Bidet & Ho because he was illegitimately elected. Our Military was humiliated forever in the Hamid Karzai Airport retreat. Shame, shame on the Democrat Party.

If they knew who and where they were, why didn't they send that missile the day before the bombers left? I suspect the Biden clan is hiring creative writing english majors for their "news" reports from Afghanistan.

First it was “the masterminds of the attack”, then it was “two of the planners of the attack”, now it is “two associates”. We’re getting closer and closer to it being another “baby milk factory” distraction.

If this incident happened at all, which I seriously doubt, it should have been done with two bullets instead of a million dollar missile. Muslim trash is not worth the expense. Joe's feeble attempt to gain a grain of respect falls flat. Obama bombed empty warehouses in Iraq to make us think that he was actively killing ISIS. This too has his filthy fingerprints all over it. He either gave his playbook to Biden or he is one of the string pullers.

There in lies the problem with the U.S. military's plan of action in every conflict since the end of WWII. Worrying about civilian causalities. I doubt very much there was anyone NOT connected to ISIS anywhere near this building when they sent this missile in. Blowing up an entire city block would have only killed ISIS terrorists.

At the Sulimani site there were personal effects, etc. No trace here. The rear of the vehicle shown was burned out. Possible fuel fire after the fact. Still.....why no names? Probably because if they name names, the still living guys will come forward with a video proving that they are not dead. So, some unknown persons got whacked to distract from Traitor Joe's incompetence for a couple of minutes? Is that what really happened here?

European Union nations voted Monday to reimpose limits on non-essential travel from the United States amid the dramatic increase in domestic COVID cases. While a majority of EU ambassadors decided to reimpose the restrictions, it is up to the discretion of each member state whether to adopt the recommendation. To waive the travel cutbacks, countries can require visitors to present verification of vaccination as a condition of entry. The EU’s action represents a setback to the hospitality and tourism industries, which will likely suffer from reduced demand after the new directive, if most European nations follow suit.

The Kabul airport was targeted in a rocket attack on Monday that was intercepted by the U.S.’s C-RAM missile defense system, a U.S. defense official told Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin. The official said there were no reported casualties. U.S. Central Command did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News. Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, said top aides have briefed President Biden on the development, including Jake Sullivan, his national security adviser. She said in the statement that in light of the attack, the president "has reconfirmed his order that commanders redouble their efforts to prioritize doing whatever

Our 13 young military fallen deserved better, but they died with honor and give us faith in their noble generation, which has had to shoulder the burden of its feckless elders. A war that began when most of them were babies ended in disgrace when they were killed along with nearly 200 Afghans in last week’s suicide attack at Kabul airport during a withdrawal that could not have been more botched. As President Biden attended Dover Air Force Base Sunday for the “dignified transfer” of the remains of these first US troops killed in Afghanistan in 18 months, thankfully, there were no words.

Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, must go. President Biden claims that the military advised him to close Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan and instead use Kabul’s airport to evacuate Americans. They were the ones who said the Afghan army would hold, that the pullout would go smoothly. If Biden is telling the truth, this disaster is on Milley’s watch. Or Biden is lying (the more likely scenario, based on what sources inside the administration are saying) and Milley failed to do his duty and push back against a commander in chief who is making deadly decisions.

The Sunday morning political shows were not kind to Joe Biden and his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Any and all criticism leveled at his decisions is warranted, especially since the death of 13 military members, ages 20 – 31 at the Kabul airport. There is no hiding from that tragedy at Camp David or in the basement of one of his Delaware homes. One critic who keeps showing up is retired General H.R.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) issued a statement on Sunday indicating that it would investigate reports of civilian deaths that, it said, may have resulted from secondary explosions after an airstrike took out a would-be suicide bomber. As Breitbart News and other agencies reported earlier on Sunday, an American drone targeted a car that was said to be carrying multiple suicide bombers to the international airport in Kabul. U.S. Navy Capt. Bill Urban, a spokesman for CENTCOM, said: “Significant secondary explosions from the vehicle indicated the presence of a substantial amount of explosive material.”

One of the things that certainly has been surprising about the Afghanistan debacle has been that some in media seem to have woken up and become journalists again. They are now questioning Joe Biden and his team, and raising very pointed and good questions, even being honest about the mess that he has caused. There’s a very big piece of news from the Washington Post that hasn’t gotten any real attention as yet, but it really should — because it explains how we could have completely avoided this whole catastrophe, but for a very bad decision by the Biden team.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Saturday warned that another attack on the Kabul airport was "highly likely" and promised to issue a second retaliatory strike against the terrorists responsible for Thursday's suicide bombing. "The situation on the ground continues to be extremely dangerous, and the threat of terrorist attacks on the airport remains high," Biden said in a statement. "Our commanders informed me that an attack is highly likely in the next 24-36 hours." Saturday evening the U.S. Embassy in Kabul said all Americans in the vicinity of the airport should leave immediately. The embassy cited a "specific, credible threat,"

ere’s the latest word from the most transparent administration ever: Simple question: Why? At this point, the Pentagon is best known for publicly downplaying the threat the Taliban posed for taking over all of Afghanistan, and for greenlighting closing its largest operational base in Central Asia. It’s still purging competent minds but retaining and encouraging its woke drones. Gen. Mark Milley, the 21st-century version of Gen. Custer, still has a job. Biden has lied, or remains unaware, about the fact that our allies are livid at him and questioning whether working with the United States is in their interests anymore.

The public school system in America is in crisis — the worst crisis since the forced bussing and integration issues of the 1970s. Simply put, parents and students have lost faith in the school system to educate. They doubt whether the schools have the best interests of their students at heart. This poisonous doubt is having a tangible effect on enrollment. Despite the fact that public education is free, parents are sending their children to private schools with more reliable, more predictable policies. Enrollment in public schools nationwide declined by 3 percent last year. But it was the numbers for kindergarten enrollment
