“Live Updates: Pentagon confirms explosion outside Kabul airport,” by Melissa Quinn and Stefan Becket, CBS News, August 26, 2021:
Washington — The Pentagon confirmed Thursday morning that an explosion occurred outside the main airport in Kabul, where the U.S. military has been working to evacuate scores of American citizens and at-risk Afghans from the country ahead of President Biden’s August 31 deadline to complete the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said on Twitter that casualties from the blast are “unclear at this time,” and the Defense Department “will provide additional details when we can.”
A White House official told CBS News that Mr. Biden has been briefed on the explosion.
As the U.S. rushes to evacuate U.S. citizens and Afghans who helped American troops during the 20-year war in Afghanistan, as well as those at risk from the Taliban, out of Kabul, Mr. Biden has warned of growing risk to American and allied forces on the ground with each day that passes.
The U.S. and Britain warned citizens not to go to Kabul’s airport because of a terror threat outside the facility’s gates. On Wednesday evening, the U.S. embassy in the capital alerted U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and said those at three different gates “should leave immediately.”
Mr. Biden spoke earlier this week of an ongoing threat posed by the ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan, ISIS Khorasan, or ISIS-K, and a senior British official indicated ISIS-K was behind the latest threat in Kabul….

Remove Biden from office NOW! But who would be next in line? Anti-American lineup too deep.
State Department is overrun by Communists and Islamic sympathizers.

Could they impeach biden&harris&piglosi all together in one fell swoop??!
fadeye@yahoo.com says
Sorry, it doesn’t matter because the Entire succession line are ALL TRAITORS!
gfmucci says
How likely is it that ISIS-K and Taliban are not sworn enemies after all, and play off each other to their mutual benefit to continue to rope-a-dope the US and the West?

Muslims being Muslims.
And the ignorant-of-Islam world is mystifying shocked.

Rather than keep Bagram and keep US weaponry and get civilians and Afghan Allies out first, Biden and the Democratic Party have opted to put American troops in a greatly diminished defensible position, did nothing to get civilians and Afghan allies out until recently, gave the Taliban tons of ammunition and advanced weaponry, ignored intelligence warnings, and have continued to lie to the American people by trying to pretend that “noone is being killed” or that somehow the administration should be commended for getting some people out of the crisis they solely created. Biden and the Democratic Party need to be ousted from power.

Agreed–Bagram was defeinsible–Kabul airport and its environs are not. And you are of course right that civilians should have been evacuated first. This is–or should be–standard practice in any withdrawal.

ConstantineXI : good post.
The catastrophe in Afghanistan is evident to all the world, The M S M in the USA are busy spinning this.
Firstly they are going to blame Trump, secondly they will tell us how the merciful compassionate president jihad Joe Biden took a terrible position he was dealt with and turned it around. They will cite the numbers airlifted out (they will add the numbers the German,French, English saved and add it to the US total) The will claim the 20 000 US citizens refuse to go.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
My sypathies to the soldiers and civilians injured or have lost their lives. It is heartbreaking to hear that Muslims in Western countries are celebrating the take over of Afghanistan, by the Taliban.

Tunde says
Over 40 dead 120 wounded.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Watch this US Afghan diplomat blame those trying to flee for the chaos at the Airport.
What did jihad Joe Biden tell the world, the Afghan Government will not fall, It has 300 000 US well armed trained troops, It has a good Air force, the 25th best in the world..
They are now claiming, that US citizens were warned many time. That is not true, jihad Biden, said the above.
These people lie upon lie.
The world knows that Biden is stupid, he is a moron, everyone who knows him admits that. Jihad Biden actions prove they are right.

Still wander where, when and how this 300.000 strong Afghan Muslim army evaporated into?
Do blown up infidels have the duty to defend these righteous Muslim heroes deserters wives, children, mothers and sisters?
Malcolm (South Afric) says
4 US Marines killed. God bless them, their family, wives, children, mothers and fathers.
Biden you idiot.

Jihadist suicide /homicide attacks do lead to the subject that there are Muslim mind control places where Muslim males are thoroughly indoctrinated into the strong but blind and unquestioning faith in Koran with all non-watered down; hard core Islam with its militant jihad. Those places, “schools,” are called madrasas.
In those Islamic mind programming centers young Muslim male are ingrain in the mindset Koranic dogma of the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As the Koran instructs. As in, for example, in 2:191. 9:5, 123. 47:4. Many of those who of such center are so much damaged that they are literally dangerous to self and others. As seen many times in jihad suicide, homicide bombing/attacks. For the Koran instructs in 9:111. “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.”
Furthermore, those mind programming places also ingrain the outlandish absurd Koranic doctrine of a sex-filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting for the cause of Islam in the jihad. Such a strange doctrine of a houris filled- place in found in the Koran in 44:54. 55:56. 78:31.
Moreover, such Islamic mind programming centers are further explained about by the scholar Don Richardson in his book SECRETS OF THE KORAN which on pages 69,70. Informs the reader that “The world needs to be warned. At least forty million Muslim youth in the Muslim worlds’ religious schools, called madrasa, are avidly memorizing the entire Koran … These schools become breeding grounds for potential terrorists. When male students, isolated from family and friends in madrasa, reach puberty and their hormones are active, there are no girls to date. Instead, Muslim clerics easily shift to focusing the male student’s attention on Koranic verse that promises sex in heaven with dark-eyed houris. Students can only fantasize about martyrdom followed by the sexual release Muhammad promised. This is an unspeakably cruel brainwashing technique , and the Koran is its perfect guidebook.”

Any jihadist just after his Islamic suicide /homicide attack right after he died ,to his shock and horror, he found himself trapped and suffering in the fires of an awful place the Bible calls “hell.” Luke 16:19-31. That jihad minded Muslim of ISIS was dangerous to self and others because that he was indoctrinated with and likewise believed in the doctrine found in the Quran, 44:54. 55:56. 78;31.,of a lust –filled sex paradise with many virgins, in in for his use only, because he died as a “martyr” for the cause of Islam. That jihadist will discover the hard way that he was instructed in and put his faith in a false doctrine that is from a false religious book of false religion .This doctrine of a paradise for the jihadist who died fighting for Islam was only an enticing religious story of fiction. The Bible does give warning against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. [N.K.J.V]
As for dying in a murderous jihad attack, in spite, of the Muslim clerics falsely calling it a “martyrdom operation.” That jihadist after in dies in a jihad murder attack, and learn too late, the truth of Bible with informs its reader that a murderer “will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21.
In addition, such false teachers, as those imams and mullahs, who teach and ingrain false yet enticing doctrines as that a lust /sex fill place with virgins into the hearts and minds of others had been predicted in the Bible. For it is written, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine , but according to their own desires , because they have itching ears , they will heap up for themselves teachers ; and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables.” Second Timothy 3,4.
Walter Sieruk says
In this twenty-first century conflict between the Judeo- Christian West and the Islamic East which also has been termed “The war of Ideas” the West needs ideas for its very foundation and defense that is far superior to something as weak and worthless as just “opinion.”What the West needs is wisdom. As the Bible instructs “Wisdom is better than strength.” Ecclesiastes 9:16. [N.K.J.V.]
Likewise, this same book of the Bible also teaches in 9:18 “Wisdom is better than weapons of war.” Therefore, wisdom is in strong contrast to opinion. Also greatly opposed to wisdom is folly and deceit. As the Bible in Proverbs 14:8 informs the reader ‘The folly of fools is deceit.”
This deception of deceit may be seen, by all those who are willing to see, in the Islamic doctrine of a virgin filled paradise designed specify for the male Muslim jihadist who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam, in what they so inappropriately call a “martyrdom operation.” Many a times a jihadist/Muslim is so very deluded the he actually put on his video recording that after he dies in the jihad as a “martyr” he will then in paradise have a “wedding with virgins.” This firm but blind unquestioning folly is the result of such a man believing in deception of a false doctrine. With Light of the Wisdom of Jesus a belief in a “wedding with virgins.” is the outcome of a person accepting as the “truth” an invalid and false. For Jesus taught “you are mistaken, not knowing the Scripture nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Matthew 22:29,30.
A jihadist will after dies and such a murderous way will have a very hard and harsh “reality check” In that “his expectation will perish…” Proverb 11:7. For he will then discover that he was deceived by false doctrine and lie of “a paradise with virgins” and to his shock and horror he will find himself trapped and suffering ,with no hope of escape, in the fires of hell. As the Bible teaches a murder “will not inherit the kingdom of God,” Galatians 5:21.
This is sad and tragic but nevertheless it’s the reality of the truth.
