| #20 It's so discouraging that our government keeps making the same mistakes over and over and over... You have to understand that, to state, it's a roaring success over and over again - you just have to understand their desired outcome is different... |

| #13 Michael Yon is calling it The Swarm, the instinct to chase down retreating enemies. The best I could analyse it as, explaining to those who would be just tuning in, is say your city's sports team won the supertrophy for the first time in 20 years, really not even making the playoffs until last year. That year making the playoffs, you see a lot more team swag than ever before. Now they win the supertrophy and people you didn't even knew liked the game have on the team colors. Then the parade, and everyone gets in on the team colors, even those who don't even like that sport. And now, the dholes, they smell blood. For our white and our excellent nights--for the nights of swift running, Fair ranging, far seeing, good hunting, sure cunning! For the smells of the dawning, untainted, ere dew has departed! For the rush through the mist, and the quarry blind-started! For the cry of our mates when the sambhur has wheeled and is standing at bay! For the risk and the riot of night! For the sleep at the lair-mouth by day! It is met, and we go to the fight. Bay! O bay! |

| #12 4 Us Marines killed and 3 wounded. Perhaps this explains the accelerated US troop withdrawls now apparently underway. Cut and run mindset from a White House determined to just get this mess behind them and rely on the MSM to bury it quickly as we worry about gender and masks.... |

| #11 But I think most likely is this is the typical muslim tactic of letting "splinter" groups carry out the terror attacks while the supposedly "responsible" Taliban condemn the attack in English, claim they have no control over their radical brothers. Meanwhile they funnel American and European money to their radical brothers and praise them to Allan in their native tongue. Didn't the Paks do the same with the Taliban? Remember how Yasser Arafat used to tut-tut every time Hamas splodydopes killed Israeli civilians? And the Soddies condemed Osama bin Laden. Ri-i-i-i-i-g-h-t. |

| #8 Can they just rename the airport ‘Joe Biden Airport and Evacuation center’. |

| #7 I can imagine the Taliban Emirate reaching out to the US in the near future to talk about 'bringing the ISIS to justice' for this outrage. And an ensuing long verbal fuss devolving into an aid package for developing 'counter-terror capabilities' against the IS-K. Not improbable. |

| #6 Jason Buttrill, with Beck in the region, reported that the Taliban security forces are diverting Americans and allied Afghans to a hotel near the airport. Sources on the ground said it was about a kilometer away, and those waiting to evacuate were traveling on foot. It was unclear at the time the purpose of this diversion. Adding to the body count for the car bomb. |
