The White House is staying silent on Afghanistan despite the deaths of four US Marines in an ISIS suicide bomb attack, and while as many as 1,000 US citizens remain stranded in the country, with time running out on the Taliban's ceasefire and the airport now closed.
The four Marines were killed on two explosions on the airport on Thursday evening that intelligence officials had warned was coming.
ISIS-K, a new faction of the terror group, is believed to be behind the two attacks.
The first was a suicide bomber in a vest at the Baron Hotel, where Westerners were holed up waiting for flights, and the second was a car bomb at the Abbey Gate. Dozens of people were killed, according to those on the ground including a New York Times reporter who counted 40 dead bodies.

Best Case scenario for Democrats is to impeach and convict Biden. It is the easiest way to contain the damage to the Democrat Party.
If they 25th amendment him out, they have to admit they lied to the American people from late 2019 until now.
If it goes to trial all they need is any impeachment and conviction with Republicans voting for both at a high rate than Democrats. This way Democrats can that they are the aggrieved party and the minority of Democrats voted for impeachment because of pressure from the people from the districts and that itself was from Republicans.
Or there can be a health incident like a heart attack, real or fake, and Joe graciously bows out. Schumer and Pelosi might have it meet with Joe or his handlers and read him the riot act and tell him it is for the best.
Ever notice how Joe pronounces Taliban as Tolliban? Only one other prominent politicians pronounces it that way. That would be Obama.
So if this Joe's fiasco or Obama's
Taliban lets ISIS doing that. There is worse to come.
Joe going out means Kamala Harris will be President. Not much better. But could be worse if she choose Ocasio Cortez as VP.
AOC would not be chosen and VP. Schumer, Nancy and others would choose the VP for Kamala.
Rightly or wrongly the leadership class and a majority of the American people fee extreme guilt over past treatment of African Americans and want to reconcile at pretty much any cost. The problem is the race hustlers like BLM who are profiting immensely off of white guilt and want to keep the whole thing going. This is preventing a reconciliation and is likely the main roadblock in preventing reparations. Whether white people should feel such guilt is another matter altogether. Never the less it is reality.
Now, if Kamala Harris becomes president, she will be the first African American and the first woman to hold this position. The vast reservoir of goodwill she will start with from the American people will be enormous!! Essentially she'll be afforded a "honeymoon" like no other leader in American history. In such an environment, Schumer, Pelosi, and others will be unable to pick her VP for her. She will be able to pick whomever she wants and they are going to rubberstamp it. They won't dare cross her lest they face the wrath of the American people. I think Ocasio Cortez is a real possibility.
It's worse than that, racism has now been weaponized by corporations and influence peddlers
Never forget Jessie Smollett
And guess who he is friends with? Don Lemon and Van Jones who jeff Bezos just gave 100mn
The globalists use racism and sexism instead of the traditional class warfare in Marxism. It's neoMarxism blended with gigantic corporations taking over much of the government. And they'r coming for your rights.
