I've never seen so many Americans "heartbroken" about a terrorist attack on the Afghanistan capitol who still don't care about a terrorist attack on the American capitol.

The military said it targeted ISIS. This morning, I visited a family hit by a US drone strike in Kabul, who lost ten people, including seven children. Longer story coming. Photos by @jimhuylebroek https://t.co/NuU2X8doy7 pic.twitter.com/3EU9AgD1nE

Joe Biden's critics on Afghanistan exit are wrong in almost every way https://t.co/CPbXQiNbaZ
The past 17 days have seen our troops execute the largest airlift in US history. They have done it with unmatched courage, professionalism, and resolve. Now, our 20-year military presence in Afghanistan has ended.
