We had 'kill shot' (on airport bomber) but didn't take it? Report makes bombshell allegation
[WND] A new report on Joe Biden's Afghanistan evacuation disaster, in which Americans were abandoned to be under the thumb of the Taliban and tens of billions of dollars worth of American war equipment was turned over to the terror group, explains the military probably could have prevented the suicide bombing that killed 13 service members.

But it didn't.

According to a report at the Media Research Center-affiliated NewsBusters, the "bombshell allegation" appeared on Univision.

It explained according to former Army Green Beret and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Roger Pardo-Maurer, the Defense Department knew of the homicide bomber at Hamid Karzai International Airport and had scrambled a Predator drone that locked on the target for the kill shot.

Then drone operators were ordered to stand down.

Apparently, "in deference to negotiations with the Taliban," the report said.
Our new Taliban partners said they could handle it.

#1 "elections have consequences..." - Oh wait...we had a selection instead. We keep wondering how they (Dems) can let this go on. In reality, I believe it's their plan all along. You've got to un-build before you can Build back Better..

#2 The successful suicide bombing was 26 August. assuming the Taliban were contacted, they must have approved the 27 August kill shot on a suicide platoon
