A Curious Scenario

 If you go and read through all the various reports of the Afghans 'rescued' and brought out....most of the crowd are presently at Ramstein Air Base Germany....there's this odd problem.

The Homeland Security folks have viewed the names list and a couple of them appear to be ISIS 'thugs'....on some watch-list.

The Border Patrol folks?  I'm guessing they've laid down the card and said they won't be allowed to step on US soil.  But at the same time....the Germans are probably making it plainly clear....they can't remain on German soil either.

This is going to turn into a curious episode.  I don't think any North African country will accept the guys either.  Sending them back to Afghanistan?  That probably won't happen.  

The possibility that President Biden will over-rule the Border Patrol and allow these guys into the US?  I'd say it's a 50-50 chance of that happening.  Course, it'd just be another point for impeachment (if you ask me).

Shouldn't all of this been reviewed before allowing the guys on the exit plane?  Well.....that's part of the discussion as well.

The odds that if you approached the Taliban on bringing them back....they'd refuse on account of how 'dangerous' these guys were (grinning as they said that)?

It's Just An Odd Thing

 It's now a bit more than 48 hours after the Biden Administration announced that via a drone attack....retribution had been accomplished in Afghanistan for the attack at the airport.  

The claim?  They'd killed two of the ISIS-K planner 'guys'.  

So here's the odd thing (as of this moment).....they (the WH or the Pentagon) have NOT announced the names of the two ISIS-K planner 'guys' who are now supposedly dead.

Odd?

Well...you can go back to a hundred-odd occasions and usually within 24 hours....you were hyped with information about drone attacks, the names of the folks dead, and how this helped the 'war'.

Are there actually two 'guys' dead?  Are they ranking ISIS-K dudes?  Well....it's just odd that the rest of the story is stalled at this point.

I do believe that a drone launched a missile down on 'something'.  Beyond that....it's pure speculation.  

Could it be that they just know this building is the planning operation, and there were two unknown guys who just walked into the structure?  I could also believe that.  I would speculate that the drone guys don't want to admit that they hit 'unknown guy #1' and 'unknown guy #2'....finding out later that they were the copier-repair guys or being there for a telephone out-of-order situation.  

Could it also be that by withholding information, they are just sitting there with another loaded drone....waiting for the new planner guys to arrive and retrieve something critical at the site?  I could also believe that story.  

It's just a bit odd.
