U.S. airstrike targets Islamic State member in Afghanistan

U.S. Central Command said the U.S. conducted a drone strike against an Islamic State member in Nangahar believed to be involved in planning attacks against the U.S. in Kabul. The strike killed one individual, and spokesman Navy Capt. William Urban said they knew of no civilian casualties.

Biden authorized the drone strike and it was ordered by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, a defense official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to provide details not yet publicly announced.

Mr Joe Biden, Please protect the innocent civilians and brave soldiers with speedy response,which is need of the hour.

Fek News

Biden face is clean now?

America is falling apart

Good job Biden

I'd believe this if Trump was still in office. In fact, we wouldn't have had to send a drone bc the attack probably wouldn't have happened.

The same ones we released from military prison and gave them our arms?

The U.S. record for finding assassins is impeccable. Can't arrest the dude on my corner for selling weed because they ain't got no proof but can find any assassin a hour after he's assassinated somebody.

And you know ALL ALONG where they are.

SPY will gap up 10% on this news😂

When we were trying to go out....

Save the “victory lap” none of this had to happen. Dude is unfit for any office.

We know the power of taliban.. you're finished

Reactive not proactive…

Lets go 🚀🚀🚀

Biden needs to go

I like it!

Too late.... hopeless

Sure we did.

Say Hello to my Little Friend!

Way too late

Night night pussy
