Taking out a would-be suicide car bomber before detonating his explosive near the Hamid Karzai Airport, the Pentagon showed off its intel capabilities and sophisticated targeting. Pentagon officials confirmed the strike, saying secondary explosions could be seen for miles, attesting to another suicide bombing attack by ISIS-K, the bombers that killed 13 U.S. soldiers and at least 169 Afghans. Showing the unmanned drone sophistication, the Pentagon revealed the same kind of precision seen Jan. 3, 2020 when a predator drone took out Iran’s 72-year-old Al-Quds leader Qassem Soleimani outside the Baghdad airport. No one doubts the remote capability of the U.S. military, knowing the extreme danger around the Afghan airport now swarming with ISIS-K, after Trump successfully vaporized ISIS leader 53-year-old Abu Bakr al-Badhdadi, leaving the so-called caliphate in shambles.
Killing 13 U.S. soldiers was a big recruiting tool for the beleaguered Islamic State of Iraq and Syria [ISIS] after the U.S. with the help of the Kurd’s YPG [Kurdish Protection Units] Peshmerga helped defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Al-Baghdadi, declared his Islamic caliphate June 29, 2014, telling all Islamic groups that he controlled radical Islam. Former President Donald Trump worked feverishly with the YPG to wipe out al-Baghadi. Former President Barack Obama helped created ISIS ending the Iraq Wars Dec. 31, 2011, much like President Joe Biden did in Afghanistan. When Biden surrendered to the Taliban Aug. 16, the Taliban took over all of Afghanistan including Kabul. Afghanistan’s U.S.-backed puppet government collapsed when 73-year-old former President Ashraf Ghani fled Kaubl for Doha, Qatar Aug. 16. Ghani was told the Taliban was inside the presidential palace.
Trump’s Feb. 29, 2020 agreement with the Taliban guaranteed that the Taliban would provide the U.S. security during the exit strategy. When ISIS struck the Abbey Gate of the Karzai airport, it breached the agreement of providing safety the U.S. military and civilians. Pentagon officials questioned whether or not the Taliban coordinated with ISIS to allow they to retaliate for al-Baghdadi’s Oct. 27, 2018 deaths at the hands of a U.S. predator drone. Preventing more carnage today, the Pentagon showed with good intel they can preempt terror attacks from maiming U.S. troops and civilians. “We remain vigilant for potential future threats,” said the Pentagon, making up for the Aug. 26 suicide bomber that killed 13 U.S. soldiers. Pentagon officials followed up Aug. 27 with a predator drone strike in Nagnarhar province apparently killed two ISIS planners, though there was not confirmation.
Biden said that the Pentagon thinks there’s a high probability of another suicide bombing before Aug. 31, the drop dead date for the U.S. military to leave Afghanistan. Whatever cooperation goes with the Taliban, the White House is finding out quickly that it must provide its own security, not rely on a known terrorist group. Taliban terrorists already dragged Afghanistan’s beloved folk singer Fawad Andarabi out of his home in Andarab in the Panjshir Valley and shot him like a dog. Whatever fantasy the Biden White House has about a reformed Taliban, they justified the killing letting Afghan’s people know that all music, except for some Islamic chants, are banned in Afghanistan. When the Taliban says they plan on respecting the rights of women, they’re not talking about letting women get an education or work in an Afghan workplace. Taliban are clear women must follow strict Sharia law.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid is like old Baghdad Bob, telling the world that Saddam Hussein’s Revolutionary Guards were beating back the American apostates, while Baghdad had fallen and Saddam crawled into a hole.. Mujahid keeps talking about how the Taliban have reformed, how much security they’ve provided to the U.S. during the exit strategy, all belied by the fact that 13 U.S. soldiers are dead. No one thinks that predator drone strikes on remote ISIS locations will stop what’s left of the caliphate from its terrorist ways. Mujahid’s goal is to deceive the U.S. what the Taliban is really up to, salivating at the opportunity to re-create the brutal Islamic regime that openly posted its atrocities for all to see. Like Baghdadi, the Taliban wants to intimidate the Afghan people, much like they did to Ghani when he ran for his life at the thought of being beheaded in the public square.
No one should think for one second that the Biden administration responsibly exited Afghanistan. Procrastinating for months, Biden could have spent four months evacuating U.S. and Afghan citizens but chose to let chaos-and-panic open the door for an ISIS terror attack. Biden told ABC News George Stephanopoulos that there was nothing he could have done differently, distorting what happened. He waited until the 11th hour before starting the evacuation. By that time the stampede had already started for U.S, Afghans and other foreigners to get out of Dodge. Compared to Saigon after the military exited Vietnam in 1975, it was far worse because things could have been done differently had Biden not waited until Ghani fled the country. Left with 13 unnecessary deaths of U.S. soldiers, Biden must do more than go to Dover, Delaware to greet the corpses and console the families.
