    It is all over the news, @Silvia Benoit .
    You should be able to find it, plus they are talking about this on the radio and probably on television as well. At first they said it was a legitimate strike on a terrorist loading bombs; but then it started coming out that it was an aid worker loading water for people who needed it. It sounded like it was an accidental mistake, and apparently even that is not true, because they had pictures of the man filling up his water jugs and his kids playing in the yard; so they absolutely knew who they were droning.

    He was supposedly aid worker working for an American charity.
    It occurred to me last night that leaving the weapons behind in Afghanistan, beyond the reach of Israeli weapons, may simply have been a way for the Administration to arm the terrorists. The arms can be stored in Afghanistan and transferred to Hezbollah, etc. at will.

    Yeah, somehow Trump is guiding all Biden's decisions...at least that appears to be what he claims.

    No offense, but do you live in a cave? It's all over the news, probably with the exception of CNN and MSNBC. The New York Times broke the story, and they are hardly an adversary of Biden.

    Was good way to end the war. It's hard to end one gracefully when you are getting
    your rear kicked. We did good to get out with no more loss than we had even though
    the Taliban played ball with us. People don't realize we don't have the military forces
    we once had.

    I do't think it's a good way to end a war by removing your troops first leaving equipment and civilians to fend for themselves.

    I don't either but we and our alliues were too scattered. That's hard to plan, harder to execute. Sort of like Vietnam. We were lucky to get out with our shoe laces.
    I think many would have liked it better if Trump had done it. regardless of how it turned out.

    I think even they carried it. I know it was in the New York Times--probably the only real news they have published in the past 10 years.

    They wanted to arm the terrorists for some reason.

    See, I need the link to input it in the Spanish translator program for fast results. I want to upload this info. to the Spanish speaking groups....and I don't feel like translating the entire thing "by hand".

    Not only measles, but now TB and at least one case of polio have been discovered among the evacuees. According to 82nd Airborne sources, 2 boys were beheaded last night. I have not heard what the crimes for which they were executed were. Their ages were said to be 9 and 10.
