In Memoriam:
For the ten U.S. Marines, two soldiers and one Navy corpsman killed in Kabul, dying so others could escape… and live. Heroes all. Plus the scores of other innocents killed or injured in this malignant suicide bombing attack.
“The terrorist group behind the Kabul suicide bombing Thursday that killed U.S. Marines and dozens of others and derailed the ongoing Afghan evacuation is a competitor of the Taliban — and even more extreme… The Islamic State Khorasan, or ISIS-K, is the Afghan offshoot of the Islamic State terror group, which publicly beheaded foreign journalists and inflicted brutalities on captured Kurds and others in Iraq and Syria…
“‘There is no love lost between ISIS-K and the Taliban,’ [said Raffaello Pantucci, senior fellow at the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore]. ‘They are competitive organizations. They are trying to appeal to the same recruits and the same funding sources. They are trying to build the same thing in different ways.’” NBC News, August 26th. They are foreigners even to the Taliban, even trying to embarrass the Taliban, but make no mistake, our withdrawal has emboldened extremists groups again U.S. targets… everywhere.
I’m Peter Dekom, and we shall remember… it may take time… but we shall punish those who have no qualms in killing innocents fleeing for their lives… and those who guard them.
