President Joe Biden promised on Thursday to hunt down and destroy the terrorists who killed 11 U.S. Marines and a navy medic, along with dozens of Afghans, in a double suicide attack on Kabul airport.
He paid tribute to the 'selfless heroes' who died helping vulnerable people to safety, but delivered a stern warning to the people responsible.
'For those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes America harm, know this: We will not forgive, we will not forget,' he said in an address at the White House, after a day consulting with his national security team and senior generals.

WNU Editor: This was a surreal press conference from a President who looked frail and who was interrupting his speech with coughs.
Bible quotes.
A moment of silence.
Blaming President Trump.
Saying he was open to sending even more US forces back into Afghanistan to assist with the withdrawal.
In near 'constant' communication with military commanders via letter?!?!?
Then out loud "The first person I was instructed to call upon..." before taking questions?!?!?!?
But what is even more remarkable is how everyone in the press went along with it.
