An investigation by the US military has determined that an airstrike last month in Kabul killed up to 10 people, including an aid worker and seven children, a top Pentagon official said.
General Kenneth McKenzie said no ISIS-K fighters — the supposed target of the drone strike — were killed.
"I offer my profound condolences," McKenzie said. "It was a mistake and I offer my sincere apology."
The military was initially operating "reasonable certainty at the time of the strike to designate the vehicle as an 'imminent threat,'"

And it took them 2 weeks to own up, when we already knew?

So they lied again, made up a totally unbelievable story, and then finally backpedaled on Friday after the story had disappeared from the front page.
For this and 1000 other reasons, Medals, Idi Amin, and Blinken Idiot should be cashiered.

They finally decided that the Medals Milley lie wasn't working, and gave up trying to sell it.

From Boston Herald’s Howie Carr -
“By the way, Milley is the same guy who just described the Predator drone strike in Kabul last month as a “righteous strike.” Now we find out the dead were not terrorists, but 10 Afghan civilians, including seven children. The driver of the car that was bombed was a worker for a humanitarian nonprofit who’d been picking up not explosives, but water bottles.”
Can’t wait for WH’s Jen Psucki to dismiss possible but unlikely questions on this tragic mistake

Psucki will be clueless on how to answer and WHO will answer for this mess.
Xiden had to OK this strike another reason that traitor milley has to go. And the rest of the woke chief of staffs need to resign too.
God help us with this crew.

There needs to be an accounting of all the senior leadership who authorized this screw up that left innocent civilians dead. No statute of limitations on charges and when a new Administration takes power in 2024 all of these people need to face justice not just a "gee we are sorry."

Will those who wage war against US ever be upset with xiden and crew, or will they take their anger and American hatred out on innocent people? I'm sure you all know the answer to that question. Killers support killers.

McKenzie was 'ionly' following orders from the Chinese rear end kissing Milley and the WH vegetable. Orders were, kill anyone, anything, we have to look good and show the world how we are on top of things and everything that we touch is garbage! From the top on down to the bottom! BTW, isn't McK also a lefty???

I don't believe this ISIS-K nonsense. It is all Taliban. And they all look alike.

They should install a large banner in the White House briefing room, that reads 'clearly the intelligence was wrong.'
It could have been used from 2000 to the present day to save words of 'sorrow.' Just have the redheaded girl point at the banner.

They'll used this to dump Milley thus making the "treason" talk go away.

See how easy the left will kill to make a screw up go away. Sacrifice someone, anyone to save their butts. They abort babies so who's to say they wouldn't kill American citizens to end a bad story. The left are all heartless animals and should be dealt with accordingly they hate everyone but themselves. This doesn't touch Biden because he's too dumb now all eaten up with dementia to even know his medal laden general did it. We are being ruled by incompetent buffoons and idiots.
At least Trump got his drone strike right while the left called him a murdering unstable President but he did recognize the enemy while he terminated it.
