My first thought, by the wording, is that a 'group of enemies' have taken sniper-positions in the high-ground surrounding the airport.  The enemies are now armed with US sniper-rifles.

So the rhetoric today, from all these press-conferences, was utterly hollow.

I do not know whether all the rhetoric reported today was true or not myself ...

Am not personally panicking, have no family or friends over there, nor does anyone I know, have either.

But,  there indeed are some American families that do for whatever their reasons, and  I can't help but feel concerned for them if true.

This is no surprise. When C-17 aircraft have to launch chaff as they take off from the Kabul airport, you know it's not secure.

And with ISIS (who hates the Taliban) now flexing their muscles, and al Queda also back in town, all those people hanging out at the airport just become rather lucrative targets.

Before too long, you'll start hearing about ransom demands, with a suicide bomb or three going off in that throng.

In short, this is just the beginning of President Asterisk's unbelievably stupid debacle.

Also posted on Newsmax:

"Secretary Blinken Blames Trapped Americans for Waiting to Evacuate"

This despicable turd. Playing the blame game on people who can't defend themselves. Another example of just how shallow Asterisk's sycophants really are.

From the article:

Quote
The Taliban has warned President Joe Biden there will be no extension to the Aug. 31 evacuation deadline, but Blinken told reporters there will remain evacuation efforts beyond that date regardless.

Did Tony wake up GropeyJoe to tell him this good news?  :whatever:

Sorry to say, but here's your first example of suicide bombers at the Kabul Airport. There will surely be more.

2 explosions in the last 45-minutes... outside or at the gates...  3 US Servicemembers 'injured'... 

One of the explosions was a 'suicide-bombing'...  Every embassy still open in Kabul, is jammed with people.

as a side note, I was watching this YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwA5y-ximsc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwA5y-ximsc) yesterday about the C-17 and they showed a recent picture of the interior of the plane with 823 Afghanis.  I'm assuming it was a short hop to get them to the closest friendly airbase but the picture at 1:19 to 1:26 in the video link is jaw dropping. 

Another thing I noticed is the large majority of the passengers on the plane are men.  Given the track record of the taliban it makes me wonder if these passengers were vetted in any way to prevent them from sneaking an explosive device onboard.

And the blood of those wounded and killed, except the homicide bomber's, is on the hands of Gropey Joe, The First Hoe, everyone in the Biden administration and all those "Americans" who voted for this train wreck of a President.

Let's single out the media like Tapper, Stelter, Maddow, Todd, and the rest of the pond scum. They surely voted for Asterisk, but they bear a special responsibility for this entire cluster****.
