War is hell. A mistake isn’t a lie. No one intended this to happen, and it isn’t the first and won’t be the last time innocent people die in a war zone. Prayers for the deceased and those on our military who made this error. If this is even true.
This mistake is what happens when we have no real over-the-horizon capabilities since our CIA pulled out, our troops pulled out, our intelligence is gone and our Afghan partners on the ground are in hiding from the Taliban. Kirby and Milley neglected to name the "high-profile" individual just like when pressed to explain what our remaining over the horizon capabilities are, they couldn't.
An article on defense.gov on July 6 (just two months ago) stated, "As for the over-the-horizon capability, Kirby said DOD is in active discussions with the State Department regarding the nature of what that capability will be. He mentioned that there's a carrier strike group in the region and facilities throughout the Middle East that could be useful if needed." Kirby also stated, "Our commitment to the future of a stable and secure Afghanistan has not changed. It's just going to look different. We're just not going to be on the ground the way we are now."
It doesn't appear that the nature of what this capability will be or could be was well-thought out. Furthermore, this is what happens when we allow the Taliban to gain access to biometrics and trust them to provide us with intelligence. Pure incompetence.

Did you notice what happened, and happened quickly, when the Marine Lt Col criticized the Afghan exit? He had been relieved of duty before the day was over and later resigned his commission after 17 years of service - just 3 years before retirement eligibility.
Yes, RocketDawg. Military members are NOT ALLOWED to publicly criticize leadership.
That's what I was saying all along. Because it weakens us, in wartime, publicly.

What? This isn’t a mistake. The mistake was killing innocent people, telling us we killed a bad guy when innocents were actually killed is hardly a mistake. That’s purposeful and Ill-intended.

Well, I don’t believe Biden was given any particulars before it happened. And I fully believe whoever operated the drone did so I’m very good faith, with support of his military superiors that they had a guilty party in their sights. And I’m still not convinced they were wrong.
Any chance you still don’t believe that Saddam Hussein actually had WMD?
Quit voting for the war mongers who un Constitutionally place our troops in harms way. Treat the cause, not the symptom.
We can start by demanding these liars step down.

How do we know this new report (it was a guy who was helping the U.S., no bombs in the car) isn't wrong?
Did you read through the link?
Pretty convincing. Video of the guy filling up water jugs. You see the water jugs in the wreckage.
Joke Biden won't release the name of the "high profile target" and won't release the footage of the drone strike and stalking of the car.
The guy was doing aide work as he had been.
The explosion aftermath photos looks like a single hellfire missile per 3 of 3 experts. No explosives in car then. Witnesses heard no second explosion.
Biden is a Jinx. Anything he is involved with, will turn to mud or somebody's blood. He can't help it, he is true bad luck.
Biden and this administration have become the new template for dishonesty and lacking integrity. Just take the exact opposite of anything they say or do in order to find the truth. Once you recognize this, you can't unsee it.
