Biden Admin Goes Silent Immediately After Americans Are Killed In Explosion


President Biden and other White House officials have decided not to speak at several upcoming press briefings after a planned attack claimed American lives earlier today.  The White House also canceled a meeting between the President and a group of governors who planned on housing Afghan allies after two explosions devastated the area around the Kabul airport and resulted in the death of several U.S. Marines and an unknown number of Afghans.

The Israeli delegation wasted no time in organizing a meeting that could take place as soon as this evening. Meanwhile, a meeting between Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was canceled with no word on when or if it will be rescheduled.

State Department, Pentagon, and White House press briefings were delayed indefinitely as well Thursday, as the Biden administration deals with what many were warning was a possible consequence of its Afghanistan withdrawal strategy. Many have compared the result of the strategy to the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam through Saigon.

No one seems to know if Biden will speak publicly about the devastating attacks.

The White House, meanwhile, has pointed to tens of thousands of people evacuated in recent days as evidence of the success of the U.S. effort, despite the fact that the Afghan government swiftly collapsed under Taliban assault and that the Taliban is preventing many from getting to the airport.

The White House says it will continue evacuation efforts, but a source briefed on the situation in Kabul said it is “[a]lmost a certainty that Americans will be left behind.”

The White House did say that Biden met with his national security team Thursday morning. Among those in attendance according to the White House were Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley.

The President will continue to receive updates as the situation changes through the day while Vice President Kamala Harris has been briefed on the attacks and appeared in the Situation Room by video chat.
