Zero Hedge: Watch: Rand Paul Grills Sec. Blinken: "You'd Think You'd Know Before You Off Someone With A Predator Drone"
Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky was the one Congressional leader who went "gloves off" in grilling Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday over the US drone strike in Kabul last month which came in the final days of the chaotic evacuation and troop pullout.
The Pentagon has continued this week to defend the Aug.29 attack which it says was against an ISIS-K target in the vehicle which was utterly destroyed.
This despite a detailed New York Times investigation which found it killed 10 Afghan civilians, including seven children, with the original target likely being an aid worker and not a terrorist at all.
The most heated moment of the exchange came with Sen. Paul asked Blinken directly, "Was he an aid worker or an ISIS-K operative?" To which Blinken responded "I don't know," and said the strike was still being reviewed internally.

WNU Editor: The drone strike happened over two weeks ago, and they still can't identify who they killed?!?!?!

Of course Blinken knows. He lied right there. It was non combatants and they want time to pass so everyone moves on before confessing.
10:04 is correct. It is done to save the political hide of a group. They know, but lie/deflect long enough for the news cycle to move on before admitting it, while saying it is old news in the same breathe and let's move on. If you refuse, then you are the problem not them.
What is frightening is we don't know the next dangerous step this President will do. Mark Milley was, stupidly, scary about Trump, we have to be much more scary about what this Alzheimer in Chief will decide to do.
He is lying, clear and simple.
perhaps drones should have photographed identifictation papers on the dead
Rand grills? he is half baked
