With regard to there are certain circumstances where we ve gotten information and quite frankly sometimes from some of you saying you know of such and such a group of people who are trying to get out. they are on a bus. they are moving from other people and this is their location, and there have been occasions when our military has contacted their military counterparts in the taliban and said this, for example, this bus is coming through with x number of people on it made up of the following group of people. we want you to let that bus or that group through. so, yes, there have been occasions like that, and to the best of my knowledge in those cases the bulk of that has occurred, they have been let through, but i can t tell you with any certitude that there s
0 your fine men and women, 18 died and was a preview of coming attractions. now in afghanistan, where this year not a single u.s. soldier had died or even been wounded, that s broken today with the death of 12 and 15 inches. pentagon calling it a complex terror attack. saying two isis suicide bombers were responsible. a team of reporters will give us updates throughout the hour. first chilling news saying he expects the did he doily isis attacks to continue. let isis break through the check point to launch this attack. we don t think they would do something like that? come on. they don t know what is going on right now. we have no handle on the situation. right now we re basically sitting ducks. i have never seen a tactical blunder like this before. you have to go way back. it s living the deadliest incident in a decade for afghanistan. we don t know how bad it will guilty. get dark soon. isis is taking pot shots into the airport at aircraft. joe biden said there would be no tali
