| The Pentagon Seems to Admit They Enabled the Kabul Suicide Bombing in Incredibly Damning Presser |

| BLUF: [Red State] If anyone was wondering how reportedly hundreds of ISIS-K fighters made it to Kabul, including those that facilitated the deadly bombings, now we know. Bagram is less than 30 miles from Kabul, and while we are continually told the Taliban and ISIS are sworn enemies, the Taliban let out all of these terrorists without a second thought. Now, the consequences of that have been realized. How does something like this even happen? Why were they not transferred out of the country when it became clear the Taliban were making gains? While it might have made sense to leave the Afghan government in charge of Taliban prisoners, why would the United States leave thousands of terrorists hellbent on attacking Americans in such a tenuous situation? Griffin also asked about the information-sharing arrangement between the Taliban and the United States that led to the names of American citizens being handed over. Astonishingly, the Pentagon contradicted itself, claiming that information sharing wasn’t happening. |

| #6 No known treatment or cure. Treatment includes cognitive and behavioral therapy. These people are taught not to react in a certain way to a particular word. |

| #2 Astonishingly, the Pentagon contradicted itself, claiming that information sharing wasn’t happening "Oh that. We meant the records of white supremacists left behind for them to find." |

| #1 Move along please. We handed the Parwan Detention Facility over to the host nation. Our records are incomplete or have been destroyed. Pretty much anything we had was destroyed in the recent controlled detonation at EAGLE BASE. You'll have to contact former host nation officials for additional details. We direct your attention to the President Biden orded Reaper strike yesterday in Nangarhar province, east of Kabul and bordering Pakistan. [sarc off] |
