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 worker who arrived home. The missile struck his vehicle as his children ran out to welcome daddy home from work, killing all occupants in the car and those in the vicinity.
As noted by Politico, “The command now assesses that “it is unlikely” the man and vehicle targeted was affiliated with ISIS-K, the Afghanistan branch of ISIS, or “a direct threat to U.S. forces,” Gen. Frank McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command told reporters Friday.”
.
Many people suspect part of the “intelligence” they used was a tip from their Taliban “partners” at the time. Ten people killed, including three children.
The other aspect to this situation that raises MASSIVE alarm bells is McZenzie emphasizing this strike was the result of overwhelming “signals intelligence” or SIGINT. Remember, the Intelligence Apparatus, writ large, is part of Team-1, and aligned with the State Department. The White House and Pentagon are part of Team-2. At the time this took place, there was a severe battle to avoid accountability between both teams.
Two Questions:
First – Was the signals intelligence provided by Team-1, purposefully wrong in order to set up the Pentagon (Team-2) with a major crisis, and as a result, put more of the Afghanistan blame on the DoD and White House?
Second – Did the evidence of that erroneous targeting then arrive at the New York Times after an assist by the background operators of Team-1 to get it to them?
Think about it.
♦ TEAM One – The Department of State is aligned with the CIA. Their media PR firms are CNN, CNNi and the Washington Post. Their ideology is favorable to the United Nations. Their internal corruption is generally driven by relationship with foreign actors. References: Hillary Clinton, Clinton Global Initiative, John McCain, Qatar, Muslim Brotherhood, Samantha Powers, Susan Rice, Cass Sunstein, Brookings Institute, Lawfare, China-centric, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senate Intel Committee, Council on Foreign Relations.
♦ TEAM Two – The White House is aligned with the Pentagon (DoD) and National Security Council (NSC). Their media PR firms are domestic in nature. New York Times, Politico, etc. Their internal corruption is generally driven by domestic influence. References: Barack Obama, George Bush, Wall St, Big Banks, Multinational Corporations, Defense Contractors, FBI (state police), Judicial Branch, and community activists writ large.
[Presidential elections only affect Team Two (nationalism -v- globalism). In the modern era, Team One is independent.]
Both teams were responsible for the Afghanistan mess. However, in the aftermath of the mess; and with the situation in/around Kabul gaining massive attention, each team is positioning to avoid scrutiny. Scrutiny on either team runs the risk of identifying massive institutional corruption; so the objective is to push the spotlight onto the other team.
State Dept. blames White House/Pentagon…. Pentagon/White House looking to avoid sunlight.
Did the DoS/CIA set up the White House and DoD using their knowledge of relief worker Zemari Ahmadi and his family as useful collateral damage?
The political class has caused every bit of these Catastrophes, being wrong in the first place and exploding the situation by Stealing the Election. They’re not smart, they’re low-life scum morons; and they could soon be chalking up casualties on a scale with Hitler or Stalin.
Everything government does is a tragic mistake. I am sure Pompeo was setting up Trump with the Iranian shoot down of the drone. So it is not the first time this has come into play.
You misspelled psychopathic Satanic Marxist death cult.
“Did the DoS/CIA set up the White House and DoD using their knowledge of relief worker Zemari Ahmadi and his family as useful collateral damage?”

Wow, “The Fugs”….haven’t heard them since…well since forever.
I see the story got released on a Friday afternoon so it will be out of the news cycle by Monday and most people will never even know about it!
And yet, if it had happened during the Trump Administration, it would be the lead story in the Sunday New York Times and the Democrats would demand hearings, starting on Monday, with every Military Leader in the chain of command out of a job by next Friday!
…anyone want to guess ‘the play’ and the timing of plays between team 1 and 2….
…if …
the person in the wh was the one with the actually the most electoral college votes?
But, it currently is, what it is
( with largely a complicit media to miss control the mis- narratives …for those that miss think listening to them means something useful..)
While others dutifully, seek the whole truths…
– keep counting the ballots,
– keep on eye on whom are breaking laws, wasting funds… ( immigration, health, election, military, politic$ etc.)
– keep on eye on threats to break the banks,
[ as the rings, eye of sauron, also watches…
Is that just fiction…?
…oops…what happened to that family in afghan…?]
Imho
And every corrupt leftist msm propaganda Sunday morning news show! ChiCom Joe’s 81 million voters must be proud/pleased!
The hypocrisy makes one’s head spin. I am beyond words.
And we’d have a hearing by Pencil Neck calling for an impeachment. With Mad Max all over BET.

That’s the bastard that hopefully one day(soon) will incur his due karma.
Other countries will now see the United States as depraved and amoral with absolute certainty. Not her people, but the government in power who take oaths and represent her. Once a reputation is ruined, there is no getting it back fully if ever. There is no remorse from whoever it was who gave the order to take out this family. There is no remorse from those incompetents who carried that order out. So here we are. No moral authority whatsoever on the world stage. We are now moral pygmies, and I am sickened by it.
Your post is spot on.
We are most grateful that we in British Columbia have the U.S. as our Southern and Northern neighbour.
That said. Three more years of this insanity and who knows?
Russia, and China are “licking their chops” and cannot believe their good fortune.
PDJT had them “on the ropes” your F**ing media allowed this imbecile to become President allowing P44 to enjoy an unfettered third term.
Ponder this if so inclined a number Conservative leaning folks in our community openly talk about preferring and trusting Putin to protect Christian morals/values more than those that now rule the U.S.A.
Incredible! But true!
What you say about Putin is so true. And I often ask just how rotten is he really? I mean, he may well be as horrible as he is portrayed. But also what you say about our media? Everyone knows that’s true. So who exactly is painting Putin as that tyrant we have been led to believe he is? Our corrupt and duplicitous government. Our intelligence services have no doubt done as much harm as they accuse him of doing. But I know he loves his country. And he protects his country, which our inept and crooked government does not (protect the US and her citizens). So what are we to believe?
These are all philosophical discussions I have with myself from time to time. The world… OUR world… is suddenly nothing as we thought it was. Why would the rest of what we’ve been fed by self righteous, self serving, lying, power mad corruptocrats be true? It’s just one of many questions I’ve asked. And finally, why is it that the government going to extrajudicial lengths to get Julian Assange in its clutches? Can you imagine what he knows? Now with this atrocity of the droning of an Afghan family (little children for God’s sake!) , I’m wondering if Britain will think twice before they allow him to be extradited. I hope so. The stories he could tell…
One more thing…Putin has said, unlike the tyrannical governments in the US, Canada, and Australia, there will be no vaccine mandates in Russia. Make of that what you will.
Cheers!!
A quiet revolution has begun.
We have an election for Prime Minister here in Canada on Sept 20.
Three Liberals were on our street today canvassing for Truedope the incumbent.
They gave me a phone smile, and a sleazy greeting.
I normally am polite..not today. I calmly told them to **** off, and that their guy was a communist.
They began to stutter, and I verbally went after them again.
This is war…his party wants babies vaccinated F.F.S.
Criminals all of them
That’s where I am! And I am praying you can get rid of that smarmy self righteous faux ####… I’m of a certain age and won’t say on this wonderful site the word I’d like to use. A repulsive dangerous little man. Using power to make up for the testosterone that he lacks, and smiling while he brutalizes those who put him into office. I really hope his egotistical snap election undoes him.
WHY does the last photo on this thread have an Israeli flag ? Are you asserting that somehow they are involved?
Or are you just positioning the Star of David into a plot? If so “WHY?” again I must ask.
I did not notice that but just went back and looked…and yes, I, too, would like to know why Sundance included that particular flag into this particular story?
Thank you for noticing that. It’s quite disturbing along with the shadowy imagery that is part of the photo.
Yes, I was about to ask the same question. There was no apparent connection to them in the article, nor is there one evident in the drone stroke story.
I suspect at the appropriate time Sundance will let us know. He’s one smart cookie who does his homework. I’ll be on the lookout for an explanation. For the moment I look at it as foreshadowing of more to come.
The last pic of the Department of Defense with the Israeli flag and two shadowy figures , one man passing a black bag to the other is very interesting. Well Bibi is no longer Prime Minister a goal of the far left, and Biden is honest and transparent so I guess we have a mystery to solve.
Yeah! Thanks for pointing that out! Finally, Sundance sees the light!
Don’t know (good question) — based on the URL for the image ), all I can find is the use of that image in the following blog post from March 30, 2011 (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2011/03/30/o-b-a-m-a-authorizes-secret-help-for-libya-rebels/).
Cannot find any blog posts before 2011 — as the URL indicates a March 29, 2010 news image involving Mossad & US spies. Did an interwebs search, but couldn’t find anything …
Israel has had spies working here for decades, just like we have spies in Israel. I don’t see the big deal about the picture.
Honestly I really don’t care which side set up which side. Neither are on the side of the people of this country. Blood on all their hands. A pox on both their houses. Both sides can go to hell, the only problem is that they are dragging the rest of us with them.
Look at that assholes dyed blonde hair and Chinese jungle camouflage. Behold one of Lucifers Children.

You absolutely nailed it.
There is no other explanation for the evil that these monsters are capable of inflicting.
They are heartless bastards and sociopaths, all of them.
When their time comes, and I pray we will get to see it, I hope that no mercy is shown to any of them including their families.
The flag in the bottom picture speaks VOLUMES.
The sh!t stirrers of all sh!t stirrers.
Islam grows bolder everyday. Its not IF another 9/11 takes place, but a matter of when.
And it’s not just a major terror attack that we should be concerned about, though that would be horrible enough. It’s all the forms of stealth (and increasingly not so stealth) jihad hat unfolds every day via what imam’s preach in mosques, how MB front groups operate in plain site leveraging enormous power and influence on public and private institutions, Islamists sitting in Congress, and most recently, by importing a reasonably large swath of the country of Afghanistan into our nation with new arrivals that embrace a set of values utterly incompatible with our own (or what remains of our own), to name a few. Even if we never had another terror attack, all of this would be enough to move America closer and closer to the normalization of Sharia law.
Another 9/11 would unite us and awaken a lot of people as to what is really happening…a slow, quiet take-over, like what has happened in England and France over the last 20 years is much more effective. By the time people realize what has happened, it is too late to reverse it! Take a look at Minnesota and you will see the plan for the whole country! Look at all of the cities where “refugees” are being sent…nothing huge, but just enough to change the dynamics of the area and prepare for the future that most people do not realize is coming!
If you had said it would unite us 15 years go, I might agree with you.
But now the media, high tech, big international business, and the MIC are in control of the message.
And in case you haven’t noticed yet, they have been brainwashing the sheeple into believing that we are the problem. We are the Jihadi. We are the domestic terrorist threat.
That’s why none of us should be anywhere near DC this weekend. Because they’re going to use it to push hard on that narrative. Even if it means a few of us get killed. Roger Stone said to stay away. Anybody here think he doesn’t have a little personal experience with these bastards?
I pray that all who do attend end up back home safe and sound. But if I were a betting man, I’d be placing my money on the deep state right now.
In a functional Republic everyone of these jack-a**es would’ve resigned.
But nope, none of these people are gone.
The republic is completely destroyed at the moment and nothing is going to bring us back to glory until the citizens take it back from the oligarchs.
You’re right, and anyone thinking tyranny goes away or acquiesces to principles, is in denial. It comes with confrontation from the barrel of a gun
They are willing to do the same to us if it serves their purpose. All they have to do is apologize and all will be forgiven. At least that’s what the hell THEY think…
The Tennesee ATT bomber dissapeared from the news quickly also….
(name 1 other white male killer news item that has dissapeared that fast from the narrative pushers)
I’m ashamed to say that I had forgotten about that myself!
that lets you know it wasnt a white guy, and that the media is an effective memory bubble maker.
If you wrote “Dumbass” across his forehead, it would not look out of place.

You’ve heard that song, right?
Sure sounds like what is happening
Are all teams, known and unknown, seen and unseen, taking this country down at speeds faster than light? Yes.
Yes it makes sense that the Rogue State Department and CIA are fragging everyone else right now to frame the narrative.
The only sick part is they misled their own allies in the government to gain leverage on them…
Let’s pray they MKUltra’d the Taliban boys before they freed the 5 from GITMO to send back to lead Afghanistan now….
Just to say I have fired people for much less, what kind of accountability do we have for our political military leaders at this point.
Seems to me that Team-1 is throwing Team-2 under the bus.
Superficially, it would simply be throwing the blame of the Afghanistan mess on Team-2 because of continuing “screw-ups”. Not our fault as Team-1 might say as Team-2 did the wrong thing with our “good intel” may be the retort.
Knowing something about Team-1, there’s an underlying motive. Perhaps several simultaneously.
Machiavellian schemes. Plots within plots, enough treachery for entire volumes.
Well, apparently the K in ISIS-K stands for Kids
You know, I keep waiting for the normal physics of shame and dishonor to pull this Administration down…My God, Joe’s spinning longer in the air than the Roadrunner
The decision to start domestically drone-striking Trump supporters is gonna be lit AF — In more ways in one.
Exactly ?
Have a go at me!
Those running the U.S.A. are creating havoc around much of the world.
The U.S.A. was involved with the China Virus, the disaster that was/is Afghanistan.
The U.S. media is lying about the virus, the Presidential election.
The U.S.A. is interning its own citizens in D.C.
The fourth branch of government is running the show.
Xi Biden is incapacitated and seriously deranged.
Is there really no opposition to this insanity other than tweets.
Earlier I was literally a few feet from the U.S. border here in British Columbia, a border I used to cycle across.
The border town looked eerie.
Please Pennsylvania and others get the audit going. Arizona get the results out.
The Team 1/Team 2 theorizing aside, Americans should know that drone strikes exactly like this have been carried out, thousands a year, for the last 20 years. Across a wide swath of countries, based on the same sort of “evidence,” analyzed by young troops with minimal understanding of the culture and environment they’re targeting.
Reliance on technical “selectors,” and an arrogant over-confidence in their ability to make the connection between signals associated with a phone or SIM card, and specific people, and the whole thing playing out like a video game–sterile, impersonal video screens showing figures and then a big boom–has created a strange and sick culture of indifference to human life. These strikes are quick and easy (note the speed that the system cranked out this one, after the bombing at the airport). And there’s not usually any oversight or consequences for being wrong.
These strikes have killed hundreds of innocents over the last 20 years.
Each such strike provided deep motivations for thousands of people to hate America and what is done in our country’s name.
It’s really interesting to see the reactions to this one strike from those who knew (or should have known–details have been available for years) about the horribly counter-productive nature of drone strikes. Better late than never, I guess.
.
Kent, blame Bush and Obama. Not our military. And not Trump. “Young troops” gathering information on the ground aren’t doing the analyzing. The intel goes up the chain. And in most of these countries, it’s “OGA” not our regular military.
Thanks, outhouse. Intimately familiar with the process and the people.
NOBODY is “gathering information on the ground,” and haven’t been throughout the “sand box” wars of the last 20 years. The entire drone war is based on remote sensing “intelligence.” The analysts (~19-25 year old enlisted troops) sit remotely–could be a base in theater, could be a base in the USA, and plug strings of numbers into databases, perform link analysis, and make life and death analytical conclusions–with virtually no understanding of the culture/environment.
They make huge leaps of logic that are not supportable in real life.
But they have no connection to real life on the ground, nor understanding of their targets. The only difference from the normal strikes that kill civilians and this one was the public attention. Usually these mistakes are just hushed up.
It’s most likely NOT the CIA carrying out these strikes. DOD has a huge UAV fleet, and uses it. In a country which our military occupies (or did at the time), the DOD owns the area of operations, and has total control/coordination of any attacks.
“As of January 2014, the U.S. military operates a large number of unmanned aerial systems: 7,362 RQ-11 Ravens; 990 AeroVironment Wasp IIIs; 1,137 AeroVironment RQ-20 Pumas; and 306 RQ-16 T-Hawk small UAS systems and 246 Predators and MQ-1C Gray Eagles; 126 MQ-9 Reapers; 491 RQ-7 Shadows; and 33 RQ-4 Global Hawk large systems.” It’s likely that in the following 6 years these numbers increased.
“Blame Bush and Obama”??? Huh? It’s the military 100% carrying out these missions, including intel support from DOD’s NSA signals intelligence. Bush/Obama/Trump just empowered the DOD to do their dirty deeds, although Obama particularly relished his “kill list”. No blame for any of them here. This strike, and its deadly incompetenc, reveals the innermost workings of the permanent war bureaucracy.
.
The CIA may or may not be carrying out strikes. The person who pushes the button is not necessarily (or even likely) the person who is giving orders. And the military commanders giving those orders are getting their intel from elsewhere. The CIA is feeding data. See, e.g. the CIA’s Eagle Base 3 miles north of Kabul still doing its own thing while chaos was going on at the airport.
The NSA signals intelligence that is filtered down to the military on the ground comes from the CIA as well as the military. Bush and Obama set up this sharing. I have never seen evidence that 20-year-old enlisted military are doing any kind of significant analyzing of this data or making decisions. Intelligence officers in the military at least up to the 0-3 level are gathering and passing the information up the chain.
There appears to be a cross-over or infiltration if you will in the special operations command, which effectively interfaces between “State” and special forces. Activities in countries that are not regular military are primarily these special operations forces and CIA.
Do you recall Trump’s 2020 order that henceforth the special forces would report only to the Secretary of Defense. That only would have been necessary if there in fact was a conflicting chain of command. It came shortly after a strange “rescue of an American citizen” in Niger.
The CIA has infiltrated everything.
There is no doubt that when you umake war into a sort of remote control video game, the otherwise moral person becomes detached from the actual reality of their actions.
it’s just pictures on a video monitor. Not them down in a ditch with mortars dropping all around them and small arms fire echoing in their ears. It’s not watching a buddy get his legs blown off by a mine. It’s not watching an MRAP blown to pieces by an IED buried in the road.
It’s not witnessing in person the deaths of 10 civilians misidentified by some intel idiot watching a video monitor and trusting the “intel” is good.
Too damned many idiots are in charge of weapons of war, when they should be scrubbing toilets.
You remember a long time ago , like 14 or so days ago , how the media trumpeting reporting was ”Biden serious payback for Marine deaths! ” blah , blah -such complete jerks – to borrow a Texas phrase “ All headlines / no brains “
And that is exactly what this was all about. A minimal “show of force’ after surrendering everything to the Taliban and allowing 13 of our finest to be murdered by them.
A shiny object to change the subject on the abject failure of their pullout.
Why even admit they screwed up? They don’t behave like they are accountable to anyone. Media will do what they say. If they wanted the outcome to be different, it would be. It must be their intention to rub it in and let the world know, especially their overlords at the CCP that the US is weak and open to the highest bidder.
Because even the sharks can feel when the tide has shifted…
The general population doesn’t distinguish between White House, Pentagon, State or their affiliates.
It’s all govt to Joe Sixpack…the nuances are relevant only to the political class.
If you think some sort of internecine blame manipulation is happening, they might as well not bother, it’s all just the one demon to 90% of the population.
true, but it makes for good inside baseball here at the Treehouse, to hear Sundance’s slant and insight on such matters
we’re not that 90% to which you refer
I honestly fear retaliation.
Our border is wide open our kids are vulnerable.
That is an honest fear.
Yet the Congress (behind their razor wire fence) have no such fear, do they?
And there’s on HELL of a lot of semi-autos that ‘disappeared’ en route to Mexico (which, we of course could trust as a ‘sovereign’ nation to send them to in the first place… right?). The type folks in CA, IL and MSM love to demonize and stop you from having.
Biden needed a diversion to demonstrate his “strength and will”.
Innocent people died. They were just expendable scenery for SlowJoe and his team of hacks.
Somebody needs to go to Jail for this.
Clearly, it was a political decision to drone strike the civilians.
Unfortunately some people are more equal than us.
Biden and his minions (and, or, handlers) are all legends in their own minds. I despise them all.
Anyone else see that image from a video of the father who had apparently stopped to fill containers with WATER (to take home)? It was circulating a week or so ago.
Seems if that was their excuse for targeting- intel failed miserably on a few points.
“General McKenzi says he takes “full responsibility”, yet he retains his position”.
If this is a mistake, why wouldn’t he?
If this is a mistake, learn from it.
But everyone needs to grow up, civilians will get killed in armed conflicts, it will happen again…… quite a lot.
These are not wars where the combatants are uniformed.
All of this new age weirded out progressive politics goes back to its beginnings (Bill Ayers …Weather Underground) because we killed a few civilians in Vietnam.
And yet, when they had the Kabul suicide bomber in their sights and locked on, they were told to stand down.
Was that just another forgivable mistake too? One the good generals might learn a lesson from?
I am certain there are 13 families who’d like answers to these questions.
“they had the Kabul suicide bomber in their sights and locked on”
Link please. Sounds like BS, no permission needed to fire on life threat.
Two dark blurry figures of men…..thanks for pointing that out NC Mom
Why is it that only Marines take responsibility, good or bad?
A tragic mistake? How dare you, just how dare you? Leaving all 89 billion of arms behind was also a mistake! Three times as many inverted Afghanies flown out as American citizens is also a mistake? You disgust me!
If we had people who honored God and country and acted with courage and integrity to love and protect their fellow citizens, then all of these problems would go away.
Oops, my bad.
After the suicide bombing, they had to be seen as doing something … anything. So they used a drone to kill somebody, anybody … whoops, my bad … missed the target. Sorry.
A civilian commits negligent homicide and gets sent to jail; generals and president do it under the guise of national security and how do surviving family members feel about not even getting an apology direct … it’s only passed on in the complicit media … as for the family … they don’t matter.
No one gets punished for negligent homicide or even gross incompetence for the most inept military move in American history. The politicized military even seems to be proud of having engaged in a coup against a duly elected President Trump.
Dark days indeed.
I think I wrote a comment to that effect last week, or when news of the droning broke
That somewhere there was a General screaming:
“Get me a target !!! Any target !!!”
(essentially, “we’ve got to do anything to change the news cycle”)
so did the guy who made the annoucement draw the short straw? will he be sacrificed?
If I’ve got this straight, we had the suicide bomber that killed 13 of our Marines, Corpsmen, Soldiers, and hundreds of civilians targeted but were told to stand down.
But we tracked an aid worker all day (I heard 8 hours ?) before the order was given to take him out as his family ran to great him.
These guys are the “B” team. Embarrassing.
Not even the JV team??
Consider, this was a TACTICAL Strike, which implies locally controlled and targeting provided from local sources.
That means a “local strike request” using locally controlled INTEL confirmation. This was a military run strike from end to end.
The General did not state a very key phrase that would have dragged Team 1 into the light by the ear squealing, the whole way…the strike met the Rules of Engagement, which are established by the State Department (Team 1).
He did not say, who REQUESTED the strike.
He did not say how the target was confirmed.
He did not say a word about ROE compliance.
Allot of key details omitted for what ever reason that would tip off anybody with a decent amount of Military experience to figure out what happened.
Just because the word INTEL is mentioned, does NOT necessarily imply a Team 1 involvement. The Military has Tactical-Operational assets that do local SIGINT (to include transmitter locating). Given the overall sloppy Tactical Execution of the force in place and poor operational command leadership, there is a pretty good probability this was a blind shot using a cell phone number as confirmation.
Was there live video piped to the situation room. If so who was present. Who knew new the truth and when did they know it?
Also who gave the order???
Any administration that accepts mistakes and does not seek accountability from those involved deserves ALL the fallout.
This song nails how I feel.
I don’t think that it was a mistake. It is punishment and a warning. The story is not what it seems. If they wanted to take him out cleanly then they could have used the ‘Flying Ginsu’. A link is provided down below for your information. I don’t think that he was a merely an aid worker. These NGO’s are just fronts. He did something which the powers that be did not like and made an example of him. This strike included his children or I should say that the message included his children. They could have taken him out earlier or later to avoid collateral, but, they did not.
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/27917/secret-hellfire-missile-with-sword-like-blades-made-mysterious-syria-strike-on-terror-leader
Looks like everyone involved in this tragic embarrassment will get promoted and there will be no accountability.
The obligatory: “Can you imagine if this happened under President Trump.”
Let’s say an ISIS-k dude finds a tracking device on his moped. He takes it off and places it on a car parked next to him. The car goes home, the kids run out to greet pops and get incinerated. The guy sitting at a desk in Arizona should have seen the kids and deferred. Even if it was a setup, somebody is responsible for the collateral damage.
I could see our evil Government use innocent civilians in their sick political games. The US and it’s Allies killed millions with their evil Covid Virus, just to win an election. Most of the military generals are just to evil to care what happens to others, I don’t think they give a shit about who they kill or get killed.
When innocent children are killed, regardless of their parents ideology, it makes me sick!
Sure are a lot of murders going on with this maladministration. Where are we now, about 50k or so, and all “accidental”, of course.
.
Yes.
Well, now. Think. The military left in Kabul were in large part newly-injected grunts acting as airport ushers and their COs, who would have been depending on information from elsewhere that probably originated with the CIA at Eagle Base. Eagle Base is walking distance from Kabul. (Hint maybe why Kabul, not Bagram?) CIA was still in their “secret” base choreographing the entire mess, while evacuating their own personnel, doing whoknowswhat, and apparently “missing” suicide bombers who detonated at the airport and killed our U.S. military personnel. Deliberate? Then the U.S. military blew up Eagle Base. (NYTimes and WaPo claim that the CIA did that themselves.) Then the CIA apparently fed false information through NSA to the military, who were already on edge, about another suspected suicide bomber. This is all extremely evil.
A tragic mistake indeed. I feel that people do not identify with an Afghani family so far away, but a dad returning from work and the children running out to meet him being blown to bits is more than a tragic mistake. We were not looking for a bomber, he had already done his deed. We were looking for a revenge headline.
After a stolen election these elites must be wondering why they thought they could do better than President Trump.This is real, innocent blood on their hands and Milley is quite a bombastic ass.
test
And does anyone here think this is the first time this happened in the almost 20 year Afghan War? Or the 2nd time? Or the 25th time?
How many times alone did our Afghan “partners in peace”, as our Bourbon Generals so liked to call them, identify “terrorists” for the US Military who were actually just their inter or intra tribal rivals?
At the Nuremberg Trials, such “mistakes” were considered war crimes and crimes against humanity.
(BTW, The Nuremberg statement, signed by all NATO countries, also said no medical procedures should ever be forced or coerced on an unwilling individual. The USA signed that)
Maybe the Pentagon should be checked for lead paint, there has to be a reason why so many Generals go sour. Are they breathing in to much contaminated sand overseas, drinking contaminated water in the middle east, getting bribes from the Ford Foundation to destroy the country.
