More than a hundred Afghans were wounded in the suicide bombing and at least 60 are believed dead, though the Taliban has so far refused to provide up-to-date numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking late Thursday afternoon, Biden, who appeared visibly exhausted, said it was a \u201ctough day\u201d and praised the U.S. military before pledging to \u201chunt down\u201d ISIS-K and make them pay for the loss of American lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are part of the bravest, most capable, the best, selfless military on the face of the earth, and they are part of simply what I call the backbone of America,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThey are the spine of America \u2014 the best the country has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will not forgive, we will not forget,\u201d he added. \u201cWe will hunt you down and make you pay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve also told my commanders to attack ISIS-K assets. And we will respond with precision, at our time, at a place that we choose, and the moment of our choosing,\u201d Biden said. \u201cHere\u2019s what you need to know. These ISIS terrorists will not win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden said that the U.S. has \u201csome reason to believe\u201d that the terrorists belong to a Taliban splinter organization called ISIS-K, which is affiliated with the larger Islamic State terror network. The U.S. and coalition forced had warned, over the last several days, that there were indications of a coming terror attack outside Hamid Karzai International Airport, where thousands were being evacuated ahead of the U.S.\u2019s official withdrawal on August 31st.<\/p>\n<p>Biden pledged to continue that process, saying that the U.S.&nbsp;\u201cwill not be deterred by terrorists. We will not let them stop our mission. We will continue the evacuation,\u201d but outlets on the ground late Thursday reported that some gates of HKIA were being \u201cwelded shut,\u201d and the U.S. military was moving up the timeline for getting forces out of Kabul. The Daily Wire <a href=\"http:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/report-u-s-military-evacuating-ahead-of-schedule\/\">reported earlier Thursday<\/a> that the 82nd Airborne Division was moving out ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know of no conflict, as a student of history, no conflict when a war was ending one side was able to guarantee that everyone who wanted to be extracted from that country was able to get out,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>The president took questions from a pre-selected group of reporters, according to Biden\u2019s own words, and again committed to withdrawal by August 31st. At one point, he repeated his allegations that the Trump administration forced his withdrawal from Afghanistan on a protracted timeline, but did not mention that the Biden administration itself set September 11, 2021 as the deadline for leaving Afghanistan and later, moved that timeline up.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also said that his military advisors suggested he shutter Bagram airport, a more secure location than HKIA. He said the Pentagon \u201cconcluded that Bagram was not much value added.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation on the ground is still evolving and I\u2019m constantly being updated,\u201d Biden said before calling an end to the press conference to attend \u201canother meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and&nbsp;<span class=\"il\">counter-cultural<\/span>&nbsp;outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
