* Leaked notes of DOD calls show Defense Sec. Austin directing leaders to prepare for 'mass casualty' attack
* It came 24 hours before attack that killed 13 troops and nearly 200 Afghans, while wounding other service members
* 'I don't believe people get the incredible amount of risk on the ground,' said Austin
* Pentagon warned Politico against publishing the leaked information
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told top Pentagon leaders to prepare for a potential 'mass casualty event' 24 hours before a suicide bomb rocked the hurried U.S. evacuation at the Kabul airport, new internal DOD documents reveal.
The documents, which the Pentagon condemned as a leak of classified information and urged the media not to report, detail top military officials trying to sort out security in a situation they already deemed a major risk.
'I don't believe people get the incredible amount of risk on the ground,' Austin said on the call.

Obama is in charge of the Biden Administration. I believe it due to the headline.
"US 'Blames Britain'..."
- The Churchill Bust flare up during Obama 1 or 2
- Not notifying the Brits or other allies of the pullout.
- The British Parliament holding Obama note taker Biden in contempt and
- now this.
Just assuming for argument's sake that it is true, what is the point. Milley, Austin, Blinken and others were not held accountable for the Taliban taking over the country in 8 days. So why go after Britain?
It is 2-fer. Distract form your own failings and go after Britian which is an Obama specialty.
see what Russ or some other person said about the suicide guy getting close to target...that is why.

Went through the the Daily Mail article. The grubby social climbers roosting in the upper echelons of the government are mad, because the Brits wanted to keep Abbey gate open so they could continue to rescue people.
Rescuing people makes the current US leadership look bad and they have said as much.. If one less gate was open, ISIS =-K could not drive over to another gate?
Quit wasting out time with you poor English grammar and your poor logic.
1:54, tampons are not just for women anymore. US colleges are stocking them for distribution for men. Likewise vibrators are not just for some women anymore. Why don't you do us all a favor and make maximum use of yours and not comment.
In a post at this site, one person, perhaps a former service guy, suggested that perhaps an Afghani sympathetic to the Taliban allowed the bomber in. American military on duty would have prevented the jihadist from getting so close. What we have then, is an explanation of why it had happened. I am not in a position to say it is right or wrong but clearly, we are saying it was not laxity on the part of the American military.
now, can you relax and try being civilized?
As usual you don't remember so you lie.
They can play the blame game all they like. It's immature & doesn't do any good. They've got far bigger problems to deal with. China, Iran, North Korea. The USA is going to need allies. At the rate the yanks are pissing everybody off, they'll have none. Keep ducking 🙈
Sounds like total bullshit again from the USA
The US admin (Democrat) is blaming the UK for no good reason. Also Democrat politicians, Democrat Media, Democrat intelligencia, Democrat actives and many Democrat rank and file have been calling people who are not a part of their group sexist, bigot, homophobe, Islamophobe as well as saying we throw granny from the cliff. So we are several presidential election cycles past being civil.
As Jexit, BLexit and other trends take more effect, the Democrat Party become less civil and more extreme.
The whole tampon thing would fall flat except Democrats have gone there and that was 2 or 3 years ago. Next it will be ball cups for Democrat women , who think they are men. So relax and take the justifiable comeuppance.
The left really has some genius statesmen.
