WASHINGTON—The U.S. military said Friday that it mistakenly killed 10 Afghan civilians, including seven children, when it launched a drone strike on a car in Kabul last month, and missed its actual target, militants who were thought to have a car bomb to be used in an attack at the city’s airport.

It was a reversal of the Pentagon’s position on the Aug. 29 strike from just days ago, when military officials said they believed that the strike was justified. Military officials said then that civilians may have been mistakenly killed, but that Islamic militants had been stopped. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley had gone so far as to say earlier this month that the strike was “righteous.”

But after a detailed analysis over recent days, the military’s Central Command concluded that it had killed civilians and had missed its target, even though there was in fact an “imminent and active threat” in the area.

That was four days! Five days ago!

Time to move on.

Another LIE to protect our WAR-CRIMINAL-IN-

Is the 'HAITIAN BRIDGE' invasion in Texas an "ACCIDENT", too?

[CivilWarBrewing]

“WAR-CRIMINAL-IN-CHIEF”, that is.

General Milley “A Righteous Strike”.

General McKinsey looked depressed and defeated.

After a detailed pounding by the NYT we decided to Friday news dump. You'll hear more support for our ignorance on the Sunday News Sows.

In keeping with Bill Klinton bombing an aspirin factory, Demented Joe hit one last Afghanistan wedding celebration on the way out the door.

[JennysCool]

Gee, I wish we had, oh I don’t know, some sort of MILITARY or something to put a stop to this completely obvious Leftist coup before it destroys the country.

[fhayek]

Yeah, but at least the children weren't in CAGES!

[Chgogal]

Shameful

[baclava]

Joe Biden, War Criminal! For ordering the strike...

Call for his resignation immediately!

[Mr.Unique]

This happened because the administration was trying to cover up for the Afghanistan departure debacle.

They were rushing and didn’t take the time to identify targets and collect until.

[kjam22]

Question should be...... has Mark Miley contacted any high ranking Taliban leaders and promised to call them before we launch any attacks?

[teevolt]

Haitians just showed up at the southern border....right, but don’t dare call this a conspiracy to destroy middle class America.

[proust]

Where’s Brennan the drone king?

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

The media and the left (okay, that's redundant) were angry that Trump took out Iran's worst terrorist by a drone attack.

Yet, they won't even say a word about Biden taking out an aid worker and his children.

So Mollies “Righteous Strike” wasn’t????
