WASHINGTON (AP) — Acting swiftly on President Joe Biden’s promise to retaliate for the deadly suicide bombing at Kabul airport, the U.S. military said it used a drone strike to kill a member of the Islamic State group’s Afghanistan affiliate Saturday.

The strike came amid what the White House called indications that IS planned to strike again as the U.S.-led evacuation from Kabul airport moved into its final days. Biden has set Tuesday as his deadline for completing the exit.

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.

The airstrike was launched from beyond Afghanistan less than 48 hours after the devastating Kabul attack that killed 13 Americans and scores of Afghans with just days left in a final U.S. withdrawal after 20 years of war. U.S. Central Command provided few details; it said it believed its strike killed no civilians.

The media still continues to carry Joe's water.

    It appears that we were informed about the terror threats days in advance, why wasn't a drone strike done then????? Right out of the demoRat playbook, launch a few cruise missiles or a drone attack and call it a day and say look at how tough I am. clinton did the same thing, a few embassies bombed, launch a few cruise missiles into the desert and tell the American people how much a badass you are. demoRat yak squeeze.

    This is a total bullshit story to try and cover the criminal White House administration. But we all know that there are so many naive people.

    This airstrike has all the earmarks of Clinton's destruction of that awesome terrorist aspirin factory. And do not forget Obama's 2,000 plus drone strikes that killed thousands of terrorist sheep.
