Page 17 - Isisk Attack News Today

The network specializes in two things. taking hostages and committing mass murder attacks against inoh center. i wouldnt be surprised at all if this isis k attack is a front for the taliban who are organizing the attack against us to humiliate us further after we surrendered to a terrorist organization. >> bill: tough to hear. yet its true. >> there are consequences for lost work, were operating under the assumption. >> bill: the departure may go on hyper speed now. continue. >> when you priorit...

Sitting at the presidential palace now. the leader of this new government and there would be targets for the americans to respond to. without knowing who is responsible, it is very difficult to strike back. it is very uncertain they are going to know in any realtime at this moment, who is responsible for this attack. what you can say is the taliban is responsible for securing the perimeter around the airport and somehow they got through. the us is in a terrible, terrible situation where they wer...

They will have to halt the process of flying out civilians and move the british focus to withdrawing uk forces. the prime minister is trying to look beyond that point, saying we will continue a diplomatic and political effort to pressure the taliban to continue to let afghans out, even after western forces are gone. but, garrett, this explosion at the airport today will complicate what was already a very, very delicate situation on the ground in kabul. >> yes, it will, almost regardless of what ...

We know that a gunfight broke out as well. we are not clear at this point who is responsible for this attack. the taliban has condemned it and vowed revenge for whoever carried out the attack. little solace for the u.s. servicemembers that are still on the ground at the kabul airport. now, the suicide bomber has been utilized at the airport, there is going to be medi-vacs out of the airport. you have flights going to katar. there is a very complicated threat environment. there are still terroris...

Noses in kabul, without their knowing would be embarrassing. and the isis-k would be a real rival for resources and money, and as far as kabul, they are able to get resources that the haqqanis dont want the taliban to have. and khalil haqqani has a $5 million reward as well as the pakistani chief of staff there in the government service, and so as i would say, that we are hearing that this is an isisk attack, and low level attack, because of so many soft targets there, and very little pressure o...

They were harassing and preventing u.s. allies from getting to the airport and beating up some. that ring was very effective. however, it wasnt effective in stopping two suicide bombers and with guns from stopping this attack. the taliban has a track record of being really ruthless. and i want to point out, this is beyond politics now. anyone who is using this as a political football. there were decisions made and they can be looked at in retrospect as wrongful decisions, but you are having demo...

There was an argument that the smaller troop levels, several thousand troops in iraq and a number in syria, and even the roughly 2,500 that were left in afghanistan would act as a stabilizing force for local security forces. anyway, were in a mess right now. all these countries joined us. we promised to give them air lift for their forces as well. but i think its critical, again, to not overreact to this attack, to not -- will we let an isis attack curb our military operations in another part of...

In terms of this investigation, the culprits are smaller than you would think. what youre seeing with the taliban in terms of whats happening right now, the taliban wants the u.s. to leave. theyre trying to instill some sort of order. all allied extremist groups in the area that are aligned will try to precht some sort of attack from happening and fight it out afterwards or have american target ms. the aftermath of it. in this case, isis in afghanistan, theyre a rival of the taliban. this is one...

Provide security around the airport. i do not know why giving them a list of people they should let through checkpoints is going to be helpful. >> bret: last word, no way the president is going to be impeached. even though there is a couple calls in the senate and several in the house from republicans to do that. jen psaki saying today is not about politics, its about coming together. thats true. getting americans not only the service members, but the americans on the afghan allies on the has to...

Isis-k was behind that attack at the abbey gate. >> sandra: members of congress were active in responding to the situation right now. chuck schumer saying that pe talked with pentagon officials. what is happening right now? we havent gotten an update from the white house. we know that the president is being briefed. what kind of communication can you tell us right now in the wake of these attacks?
