Our thoughts are also with the families of the innocent civilians who died today in the savage Kabul attack,\u201d Trump said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis tragedy should never have been allowed to happen, which makes our grief even deeper and more difficult to understand,\u201d the former president added. \u201cMay God Bless the U.S.A.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s silence has been noticed online, from liberal journalists to elected Republicans, as highlighted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-hammered-online-calls-for-resignation-grow-after-terror-attacks-kill-12-u-s-service-members\">The Daily Wire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn (TN) called for Biden and other officials\u2019 resignations or, if need be, their impeachment and removal. \u201cJoe Biden, Kamala Harris, Antony Blinken, Lloyd Austin and General Milley should all resign or face impeachment and removal from office,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\">\u201cPresident Biden has been hiding from the American people for FIVE hours now,\u201d the House GOP account posted.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.

The White House continues to postpone briefings. [House Speaker Nancy Pelosi] <\/span>has tweeted about Biden\u2019s \u2018Build Back Better\u2019 plan, but not a word about the growing loss of American lives in Afghanistan. Is there any leadership in this country?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As highlighted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/at-least-10-us-service-members-now-reported-killed-in-kabul-bombings-death-toll-likely-to-rise\">The Daily Wire<\/a>&nbsp;Thursday, 11 U.S. Maries and one Navy medic were confirmed dead from the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt least 10 US Service members killed, dozens of Americans wounded in suicide bomb attack at Abbey Gate in Kabul this morning. Death toll of US service members likely to rise: US officials,\u201d Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bombings took place just outside of the airport on Thursday as throngs of people flocked to the airport seeking evacuation from the largely Taliban-controlled country,\u201d Tim Pearce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/at-least-10-us-service-members-now-reported-killed-in-kabul-bombings-death-toll-likely-to-rise\">reported<\/a>. \u201cOne reported ISIS suicide bomber hit one of the airport\u2019s main gates, the Abbey Gate. Another explosion struck just outside of Kabul\u2019s Baron Hotel, which has been a gathering place for Americans waiting to be evacuated from the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe total number of injuries remains unclear, though early reports indicate over a dozen dead and dozens injured,\u201d Pearce explained. \u201cThe attacks took place hours after multiple NATO countries suspended evacuation operations citing the possibility of a terror attack. Thousands of people seeking extraction have crowded outside the perimeter of the airport in recent weeks. Taliban checkpoints have blocked most from getting through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden is expected to brief the American public with prepared remarks this evening, but it remains unclear if he will take any questions from the media.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/at-least-10-us-service-members-now-reported-killed-in-kabul-bombings-death-toll-likely-to-rise\">At Least 12 US Service Members Now Reported Killed In Kabul Bombings, \u2018Death Toll Likely To&nbsp;Rise\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
