US military had drone lock on Kabul suicide bomber, didn't take the shot: former official
"A Predator drone had a lock on him," and the DOD "refused to grant permission to fire upon that bomber," Pardo-Maurer said.
Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Western Hemisphere Affairs Roger Pardo-Maurer spoke about the suicide bombing at the Kabul International Airport on Thursday, saying that the "Department of Defense already knew who the bomber was."
The suicide bombing, which took the lives of 13 members of the US Armed Forces, happed while evacuations of Americans and Afghan allies were underway during the final days of the 20-year war in that nation.
Director of MRC Latino, Jorge Bonilla posted the interview with Pardo-Maurer said the Department of Defense also knew "where and when" the attack would happen. He said that "a Predator drone had a lock on him," and that the DOD "refused to grant permission to fire upon that bomber."
He said that permission "was requested and was denied." In Pardo-Maurer's view, the reason for this denial is "Because we are in this process of negotiating with the Taliban, who aren't even in control of their own government or their own people."
The death toll in Afghanistan from the attack was over 100. The US is continued evacuations. Head of US Central Command General Frank McKenzie said shortly thereafter that more attacks were likely.
There are still Americans in Afghanistan, which the administration has said is in the "very low hundreds."

Re: Biden's Afghan failure
It's cute to see all the righties act like we aren't going to be making arms deals with the Taliban within Biden's term.
They have our weapons..derp derp derp...
They have had our weapons pouring into the country for 30 of the last 40 years you dumbasses. You don't need much to fight off occupiers in Afghanistan. The Mujahedeen did it with Stinger Missiles.
So you think we should have targeted the Afghan National Army's weapons on our way out? And that wouldn't be a shitshow? The whole war has been a shitshow, it's just in the news now.

The shots they did take to "protect the airport" killed a bunch of civilians. Including some waiting to leave the country.Biker wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 3:16 pm Well thats nice

Re: Biden's Afghan failure
They need some anti Biden propaganda desperately. He's kicking ass on the economy.. Undoing trump pro corporation regulations.... trying his best to get these Trumper morons to take the vaccine..... got us out of a 20 year war. And having a decent human being as a president again. You can almost see the desperation with these righties and all the bulshit they keep throwing at him. Checking his watch at Dover Air Force Base After all the bodies were gone off the tarmac and the ceremony was over but they take one little picture and they put their own spin on it like the disingenuous liar that they are

Re: Biden's Afghan failure
We didn't leave anything, the American taxpayers gave it to the Afghan Army. Afghan Army didn't want to use it so they gave it to the Taliban. We will be making peace (Arms deals) with the Taliban soon.

Re: Biden's Afghan failure
The Biden administration is helping Tajikistan secure a portion of its border with Afghanistan to combat security threats, as the Biden Border Crisis™ continues, unabated, with thousands of illegal aliens — many of whom might be COVID-positive — continuing to stream into America on a daily basis.
