The Pentagon has revealed the August 29 drone strike on an ISIS-K operative actually killed an aid worker and 9 members of his family, including 7 children.
Head of US Central Command Gen. Frank McKenzie admitted the strike was a 'mistake' while addressing reporters Friday and said 'unlikely that the vehicle & those that died were associated w/ISIS-K or a direct threat to U.S. forces.'
'It was a mistake and I offer my sincere apology,' McKenzie said. McKenzie said the movements of the aid worker, Zemari Ahmadi tracked with intelligence about ISIS plans for an attack at Kabul airport.
A drone had observed men loading what were thought to be explosives into Ahmadi's vehicle, but were actually jugs of water.

Can we please stop this endless cycle of
"We didn't do this"
(Wait some time)
"Yeah ok we did do this, but it was the right thing to do"
We all are being enslaved in our own countries in this great communist reset, in which they'll take everything from us. Everything. Not just the money. Everything.
This is nothing in comparison they'r doing right now
I believe that this horrible drone strike was at direct presidential order. Biden wanted a quick political bump so he shit-hammered the Pentagon to do the strike. Not knowing or caring what they hit. If they'd waited 5 minutes they would have seen the van stop a the aid center, not the Kabul airport.
Now 3 aid workers and 7 children are dead. I've seen zero contrition or regret from Milley or Psaki. To say nothing of Biden.
And a drone operator has to live with this for the rest of his life.
The Biden presidency is a national disgrace.
International disgrace.
Russ,
They my feel bad or feel regret, but if they do so publicly, they know they risk a downturn in the polls. They are calculating that admitting it soon after the event hurts them more than stonewalling and taking the hit that way.
I'm afraid they will blame it on a sergeant, lieutenant, major, or light colonel for giving them bad information.
"If they'd waited 5 minutes they would have seen the van stop a the aid center,..."
That is something if it is true. All it took was being in proximity to the airport and nothing else. The people around President dementia are no smarter than him.
They're more than a disgrace
Look at what's going on in hospitals
They're getting outrageous sums for every covid diagnosis and resulting death
I've now heard dozens of first jabs witnesses reports of family members being denied access and information on what's happening and on top recordings of horrendous behaviour by nurses putting people on remdesivir,a drug that's killing you, and then intubating everyone they can. Each death means tens of thousands of dollars and they're killing us.. everyone.. including the young!!!!
This is happening under this demonic left great reset push..
They must be stopped. And the nurses.. God help them and those who put forward these protocols and reward mechanism with no oversight. It's mass murder

I've heard so many stories like this now and from my own knowledge of hospitals, how they work, I think it's true
It's horrible
Absolutely horrible
We are witnessing mass psychosis
What are the odds that the Taliban were the source of the intelligence for this airstrike
I had nor thought of that Russ. A lot of the normal informants might be getting out of dodge and wit good reason. People playing the fence and working with both sides, would now only being taking orders from the Taliban.
Soldiers at the airport have reported that for about 2 hours before the bombing, they were getting updates about the bomber approaching. How do you get that intelligence? Facial recognition or other recognition software on a drone? They still had an agent on the ground willing to work for the US? Or was the Taliban giving them helpful updates?

Why wasn't the ninja weapon used in that seemingly packed neighborhood?
The explanation was they thought the water jugs being put in the car were explosives. Add to them a missile or two in that neighborhood? Hmmmm. There is no winning in this scenario.
You're really are as stupid as someone else on this blog.
7:11 has a good point. We have the ninja weapons to protect people from becoming collateral damage. So why was it not used in a packed neighborhood as 7:11 rightfully opines?
WAs it purposeful or did they not have one on station for reasons ...
If a ninja weapons set off ISIS-K explosives would not the resulti8ng damage be in part or in whole their fault?
"So who gave the final order to launch the strike? Was it the White House?"
If the order came from the top, I doubt we'll ever hear about it. Even if we do, there will be few details and the LeftMedia will run interference for their guy. Old news. Move on.
You know no one in theater would have that responsibility, too important for the military guys.
Trump delegated authority down. N9otice there were fewer strikes. Partly s was because the US force were just back up. But I think part of it is that the military cannot blame the White House and so their asses are on the line. They cannot pass the buck
Now authority rest with the White House again and so the buck will have a hard time stopping anywhere.
What are you talking about?
Well you can't make a omlet without breaking a few eggs.

The problem lies with you.
"he Trump administration has carried out fifty strikes a day or more thus far - including coalition strikes. As sole executive authority over these decisions would be quite time consuming, the power has been delegated to top DoD officials, National Security Council members, military leaders, and high ranking intelligence officials."
