Has Biden Built ISIS Back Better?; ISIS Terror Threat Forces US Military to Establish Alternate Routes to Kabul Airport; Rescue Planes Drop Flares and Make ‘nosedive landings’ Amid Fears of Attack, and related stories

Has Biden Built ISIS Back Better?

ISIS was born out of Barack Obama’s hasty withdrawal from Iraq. Joe Biden backed that withdrawal.

Donald Trump came into office, assessed the situation, and crushed ISIS.

Now, CNN reports that ISIS is back and prowling the streets of Kabul, which Joe Biden left to fall to the Taliban. It was a threat from ISIS-K, an offshoot of ISIS that operates in Afghanistan and includes veteran terrorists from Syria and Iraq, that sparked the State Department’s chilling message to Americans in Kabul this weekend to not try to get to the airport, which is their only way out of Afghanistan.

The US military is establishing “alternative routes” to Kabul airport because of a threat the terror group ISIS-K poses to the airport and its surroundings, as President Joe Biden met with senior officials Saturday to discuss the security situation in Afghanistan and counter-terrorism operations against the Islamic State offshoot.

“There is a strong possibility ISIS-K is trying to carry off an attack at the airport,” a US defense official told CNN. A senior diplomat in Kabul said they are aware of a credible but not immediate threat by Islamic State against Americans at Hamid Karzai International Airport.

“Alternative routes”? How will the military do this without extending its area of operations beyond the airport, to which Biden has confined it thus far? How will it do this with just the few thousand troops it has, and no base from which to operate? The commander in country as of July 2021, Gen. Austin “Scott” Miller, proposed collapsing Bagram to center operations on the embassy, and that plan was briefed and approved all the way up to the White House. They all know the military has no substantial base from which to operate in Afghanistan. —>READ MORE HERE

ISIS terror threat forces US military to establish alternate routes to Kabul airport:

The US military is establishing “alternative routes” to Kabul airport because of a threat the terror group ISIS-K poses to the airport and its surroundings, as President Joe Biden met with senior officials Saturday to discuss the security situation in Afghanistan and counter-terrorism operations against the Islamic State offshoot.

“There is a strong possibility ISIS-K is trying to carry off an attack at the airport,” a US defense official told CNN. A senior diplomat in Kabul said they are aware of a credible but not immediate threat by Islamic State against Americans at Hamid Karzai International Airport.

Two US defense officials described the military effort to establish “alternative routes” for people to get to Kabul airport and its access gates, with one saying these new routes will be available to Americans, third party nationals and qualified Afghans.

The Taliban are aware of the new effort and are coordinating with the US, one of the officials said. —>READ MORE HERE
