Memo to Joe: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

And if you are still on active duty, please tread carefully and watch what you say

The last 24 hours have been devastating. After 18 months with no American deaths in Afghanistan — zero — a Taliban terror surrogate walked through multiple Taliban checkpoints and murdered 10 Marines, two Army soldiers, and a Navy corpsman, along with more than 155 Afghan civilian men, women, and children. There were 15 Americans injured (some with critical life-threatening injuries) and countless civilians severely injured. It was the worst military loss in a decade. There is a high probability of additional attacks between now Biden’s 31 August exit date.

Joe Biden was AWOL for eight hours after the attack, but no amount of spin prep will relieve him the fact that all of the blood spilled is on his hands. As I have noted, the failure is not Biden’s plan; it’s the man. When Biden finally appeared, rambling up to a podium to deliver his remarks, right on cue, he blamed ISIS-Khorasan (ISK) instead of the Taliban.

This is the same Sunni Islamist Taliban who, according to DoD, just released “thousands” of Sunni Islamist ISK terrorists from Bagram air base just thirty miles north of Kabul — the same Taliban who proclaimed last week that Sunni Islamist Osama bin Laden had no connection to the 9/11 Islamist attack on our country.

Biden attempted to draw a distinction between the Taliban and the Khorasan branch of the Islamic State now being hosted by the Taliban. He lied about this distinction because — he could not blame the Taliban, upon whom he is now depending for protection of the airport. Fine job they did keeping that ISK bomber out…
Recall that the Taliban “head of security” in Kabul, Khalil Haqqani, is a designated terrorist by the U.S. government and has a $5 million bounty on his head. What could go wrong?

Do not be confused by the spin from Biden, his cadre, and their Leftmedia propagandists about who is responsible for this attack.

Let me be crystal clear: There is virtually NO degree of ideological separation between the so-called “Taliban government” thugs and their surrogate terrorist groups, just doctrinal differences. The Taliban, or “students” in the Pashto language, is not a “government” per se, but an amalgam of violent Sunni Islamist terrorists, who invaded Afghanistan from Pakistan after the Soviet retreat – and have now rapidly reconstituted.
