AN ex-Navy SEAL who was part of the crew that killed Osama Bin Laden said it is “time to kill” following the “shameful” terrorist attacks in Kabul.
The devastating blasts on Thursday saw at least 12 Marines and a Navy medic killed while 18 were injured.
Veteran Robert O’Neill, who claims he shot Bin Laden three times in the head during the raid in May 2011, branded the loss of American life “shameful”.
He told Fox Business: “We need to re-establish and expand our footprint – what we’re doing there. We need to really drop our stupid rules of engagement.
“They need to let them know, Anyone outside right now with a gun, we are going to kill you. It’s time to move, time to kill people, and time to rescue people.”
The veteran, who served in the Navy from 1996-2012, said: “We have American blood on our hands. It’s all of us. We need to get into the fight together.
“Just because we don’t think we’re at war with someone doesn’t mean they’re not at war with us.”
The retired Navy SEAL has been a staunch critic of Joe Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan crisis.
He told Fox News commentator Will Cain earlier this week that the people in charge of the mission are a “disgrace”.
He said: “I am amazed that there haven’t been at least 30 generals and admirals that haven’t resigned or been fired.”

Biden remains under fire as it was reported US officials in Kabul gave Taliban militants lists of American citizens, green card holders, and Afghan allies so they could safely enter the airport.
The president was accused by some lawmakers of putting Afghans on a “kill list”.
And British embassy staff also left a “hit list” of Afghan workers who helped western forces in their abandoned Kabul compound, The Times reports.
At least 13 US troops and dozens of Afghan civilians were killed following the blasts at Kabul airport on Thursday.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack as the terror group released a picture of one of the suicide bombers Abdul Rehman Al-Loghri.
Biden said he would “hunt down” the perpetrators of the attack.
The president said: “For those that carried out this attack as well as anyone who wishes America harm, know this: “We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay. I will defend our interests and our people with every measure at my command.”
We will not forgive. We will not forget.”
Joe Biden
He said the evacuation mission would continue, adding America “will not be deterred by terrorists”.
Former President Donald Trump railed against the Commander-in-Chief, adding that the attacks wouldn’t have happened if he was still in the White House.
The Republican blasted Biden’s strategy to withdraw US troops before civilians.
He claimed America had been made to “look like fools” as he branded the situation “dangerous”.
Troops are trying to evacuate American citizens stranded in the country ahead of Biden’s self-imposed deadline of August 31.
But, Pentagon officials have warned that more terror attacks could hit after the deadly airport bombing.
Marine Gen. Kenneth McKenzie said that the threat of a follow-up car bomb attack on the airport in Kabul is ‘high,’ as ISIS continues to try to disrupt evacuation and kill more Americans.
He told CNN: “We know that they would like to lob a rocket in there if they could. We’ve just seen their ability to deliver a walk-in.”
The general warned that threats include large and small suicide vehicles as well as those who are armed with suicide vests.
The attacks marked America’s deadliest day in Afghanistan in 10 years.
