kudos to be given to our department of state employees and dod and military folks who are trying to process this massive airlift. jacqui: president biden is fulfilling his promise to retaliate against isis by ordering an airstrike that killed two members in afghanistan, just days after 13 americans were killed in a bombing at the kabul airport. joining us now is former cia covert operations officer and ceo of portman squared group, mike baker. thank you so much for being with us, mike. sure is, thank you. jacqui: reporting on this unmanned drone strike indicates that the isis-k planner our military took out was plotting future attacks on our u.s. forces so both human and signal intelligence were used. my question to you would be, if we have the kind of capability, why wasn t it used to prevent thursday s bombing? were there some complicating factors that prevented that?
