As part of the greater disaster that was Joe Biden’s Afghanistan pull-out, the U.S. blew up a family of 10, claiming they were a car full of ISIS-K suicide bombers. At the time, Def-Con News and the entire rest of the world knew the truth, but Biden was trying to convey strength in wake of the actual suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. Service members. Now that the liberal media has moved on from Biden’s disgrace, the Pentagon is finally admitting they killed a family with a drone-strike.
On Friday, U.S. Central Command head Gen. Frank McKenzie came clean about the August 29 drone strike that killed a family of 10 in Kabul:
“I am now convinced that as many as 10 civilians, including up to seven children, were tragically killed in that strike. Moreover, we analyzed that it is unlikely that the vehicle and those who died were associated with ISIS-K or were a direct threat to U.S. forces. Our investigation now concludes that the strike was a tragic mistake,” said McKenzie.
A reporter asked McKenzie to explain how a “a complete and utter failure” like this could happen.
“While I agree with it this strike certainly did not come up to our standards and I profoundly regret it, I would not qualify the entire operation in those terms,” McKenzie said.
So they blew up an innocent family, including 7 kids, but no ISIS-K terrorists and McKenzie would not characterize the operation as a complete and utter failure? That’s some of that Joe Biden bullshit right there, like the kind he spread when he declared the Afghanistan troop withdrawal a roaring success.
Seeing as how he’s in the news for committing treason and initiating a coup against President Trump, I thought it’d be fun to look back at Gen. Mark Milley’s take on this drone strike. Here’s what the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had to say back on September 1:
A couple of things. One is, as we always do on all of these things, we initiated an investigation. We’re reviewing all of the video and all of that. But having said that, it — we — you know, what do we know, what do we don’t know, what do we think sort of thing — at the — at the time — and I think this is still valid — we had very good intelligence that ISIS-K was preparing a specific type vehicle at a specific type location. We monitored that through various means and all of the engagement criteria were being met. We went through the same level of rigor that we’ve done for years and we took a strike. So that we did.
Secondly is we know that there was secondary explosions. Because there was secondary explosions, there’s a reasonable conclusion to be made that there was explosives in that vehicle.
The third thing, as we know from a variety of other means, that at least one of those people that were killed was an ISIS facilitator.
Milley was either lying or a complete idiot. I guess it could be both but either way, this is another reason why he should be removed from his position.
Gen. Milley cited good intel for the this “righteous strike” and Gen. McKenzie cited bad intel for this “tragic mistake.” What they leave out is that this intel came from the Taliban. Def-Con News reported on this twice, but the Pentagon still won’t fess up that they got duped by the terrorists to take their adversaries. Two of the men killed in the drone strike were definitely enemies of the Taliban.
