Earlier today, General Kenneth Franklin McKenzie Jr. admitted a claimed U.S. drone strike against the ever evolving and mysterious ISIS-K, actually killed 7 children and three innocent adult civilians. General McKenzie calls it a “tragic mistake.” Four days after the August 29th strike Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called the strike “righteous.”
General McKenzi says he takes “full responsibility”, yet he retains his position. No one is being held to account. No one at the Pentagon is facing discipline. Both McKenzie and Milley claim it was solid intelligence that led them to watch, follow, and eventually target and kill Zemari Ahmadi, an Afghan relief

I wonder if it was a sort of “Steele dossier” that the taliban’s law firm- perky coitus- gave to CENTCOM saying that Trump was driving the car that was carrying the water and so of course the Vindeman-generals assumed it was real.

He takes full responsibility. Ha. 'If anything happens to me the deep state and taxpayer dollars will take care of it'.

Convenient excuse. Since you take full responsibility, have you resigned and surrendered yourself to the authorities for murder of children?
Didn't think so.

We need to defund the intelligence service. They never are intelligent, and spent all their time getting Trump, and that was wrong too.

Honestly, I'm sorry...and I really don't care, either. More hilarity on the way out. Did we ever save all those dogs and translators?

Since the CIA has put 90% of their resources into the takeover and collapsing of the US government, nothing outside of that mission gets done properly.
It is important to realize that the CIA, FBI and DoJ are the heart of this evil cabal destroying our country. Remember that Bush Senior was CIA head before he took over after Reagan....and worked to reverse most of what Reagan had done. His idiot son, continued that mission, along with all the Dems along the way.
This has been a long time in the making. Plenty of time to ease out all the patriots and actual law enforcement folks with ethics in those organizations, and 'purefy' their brand of corrupt, leftist, totalitarian power.

If I run over a Grandma using a walker in a crosswalk, It's because I recognized him as a disguised escaped child rapist.

The excerpt implies there is some intelligence in the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Facts on the ground don't support the implication. Milley and McKenzi should have checked with China, maybe they did.

The Biden Bunch was eager to stage some political theater to make them look proactive in the middle of the Afghan collapse. Whether they were careless in their haste, or were set up, they have come out looking like the incompetents they are.
If the top-line generals know where the bodies are buried (take that as literally as you choose), it's no wonder their jobs are secure. To fire one is to risk being ratted out.

A tragic mistake JACKAZZ ?
Does that mean ooops with a capital O ?
As a US citizen I should be hearing resignations and court martials going off like a string of fire crackers.
How dare you kill innocent children in my name and not end up in prison.

Commanders used to be removed for bad results. Now they - ours at least - can stay if they had good intentions.
Separate outcomes from proof of immorality. None of these officers tried to err.

Multi-million dollar drones and satellites correctly identified a White Toyota. What's the problem? It's not like I could walk out to my driveway and see a White Toyota.

And we're going to keep things under control there by operating from over the horizon? Exhibit A.

Collateral damage(can't harm any civilians or children) if we have a republican president is strictly forbidden, but hey, we have dems in charge, so don't sweat it. It's like the concern for all those poor illegal immigrant children we're bringing into our communities. If they were in the womb & PP had a buyer, it would be a different type of concern.

Good thing that these numbnuts morons weren't in charge in August, 1945. The Enola Gay would have nuked London by mistake.

Apparently, going for a walk with the president to see riot damage is something too generals apologize for calling it a photo op, lf the president is a republican, but killing children to distract from a presidents failure is ok, if the president is a democrat.

One, we’ve been working with the Taliban for years just like we’ve been working with several adversary groups because of enlightened, post-modern warfare theories or something.
Two, MacKenzie looks like my grandpa- after he passed away.

Who knows who will get droned in Afghanistan after Biden puts his proposed “Over the Horizon” bombing strategy into effect?

Did the “solid intelligence” come from the Taliban whom Milley said we were “working with”? Sundance has a lot of interesting material in this article.
