Push to impeach Biden who has ‘blood on hands’ as 12 US troops among 60 killed in Kabul terror attack with 15 more hurt
JOE Biden has "blood on his hands" following the deaths of 11 Marines and one US Navy medic in the Kabul terror attacks that have killed at least 60, critics say, as calls for his impeachment mount.
The US troops were killed and 15 other American service members were injured as two suicide bombers and gunmen attacked crowds of Afghans flocking to Kabul's airport today.
The horrific terror attacks sparked a new push to impeach Biden after the president was accused of a number of failures that worsened the chaos in Afghanistan.
Officials say at least 60 were killed in today's atrocity, including kids and the US Marines, who were aiding evacuations.
The US ambassador in Kabul told staff there that the four US Marines were killed in an explosion at the city’s airport, the reported.
But later, the Pentagon confirmed 12 US troops were killed and 15 others were hurt.
'We have no choice'
A US official confirmed the first blast was caused by a suicide bomb, with initial reports suggesting the second explosion was a car bomb.
Amid the unfolding chaos, Republicans are slamming the Biden administration’s handling of Afghanistan.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was among those calling for impeachment, tweeting: “Explosions at Kabul airport. The Biden/Harris administration is fully to blame for ALL of this.
"We have no choice. We must #ImpeachBiden, and keep moving down the line. They are all complicit.”
She followed the tweet up with a statement, “I submitted Articles of Impeachment last Friday.

“Are we ready yet? Call 202-224-3121 and request your Representative to let them know #ImpeachBiden."
tweeted, “So are we talking about ?
“Asking for a friend who was impeached for a phone call but definitely wouldn’t strand thousands of American Civilians behind terrorist enemy lines! #BidenDisaster.”
added to Twitter: “My god - as if those poor people haven’t suffered enough. Just horrendous.
“The victims’ blood will be on President Biden’s hands. He caused this catastrophic situation."
The blast carnage at the airport comes as…
- Hours before UK government warned Kabul Airport faced ‘imminent, highly lethal’ attack
- Desperate Afghans were told ‘forget airport and run for border’ to flee from Taliban
- Ex-Marine Pen Farthing and his 200 animals were blocked from airport by Taliban
- Taliban took a US Black Hawk helicopter for joy ride after seizing 200,000 firearms
'Despicable terrorist attack'
Local TV news channels revealed tragic scenes of bloodied survivors racing in wheelbarrows and loved ones desperately searching through dozens of bodies in a sewage canal.
The explosions came just hours after officials warned of an imminent attack.
ISIS are “highly likely” to be behind the devastating explosions,
Senator Lindsey Graham wrote: “This despicable terrorist attack against innocent civilians at the Kabul airport, which injured American Marines, is a reminder of the depravity the world faces from Afghanistan.”
While there are no reports from the British military of government casualties, US soldiers have been hurt, a UK official said.
"We are working urgently to establish what has happened and its impact on the ongoing evacuation effort.
"Our primary concern remains the safety of our personnel, British citizens and the citizens of Afghanistan.
"We are in close contact with our US and other NATO allies at an operational level on the immediate response to this incident,” a UK government spokesperson said.
The attacks that killed at least 12 US service members left Biden with increasingly fraught choices: continue the evacuation and risk more deaths or end it earlier than planned and risk leaving behind Americans who are still seeking to leave the country.
As details of the attacks emerged, the White House rescheduled Biden's first in-person meeting with Israel's new prime minister.
