The Pentagon has finally admitted that it killed an innocent aid worker and seven children in a bungled drone strike, marking a disastrous intelligence failure for the Biden administration.
A detailed timeline released by the Pentagon on Friday, when compared against prior reporting on how aid worker Zemari Ahmadi spent his day in Kabul on August 29, reveals the mistaken assumptions and tremendous errors that led up to the disaster.
Ahmadi, 43, worked for US-based aid group Nutrition and Education International, and US officials now admit he appears to have had no connection to ISIS-K terrorists. His fatal mistake, it appears, was driving a white 1996 Toyota Corolla.
In the wake of a suicide attack that killed 13 US troops at the Kabul airport, US officials had intelligence that just such a vehicle was involved in planning another attack, Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, said at a briefing on Friday afternoon.

Welcome to official global deepstate HQs of DC where no demonstrable competence at anything at any time in your life is the ticket to entry and rapid rise to power. It is a conspiracy of incompetents.
I can imagine our real special forces heroes are appalled at this given the intense training they undergo and the risks and hardships they endure to track down, track and provide targeting for genuine terrorists.
The only good news is that these traitors are utterly useless incompetent clowns. Hell they give good clowns a really bad name.
Hey, We had to kill somebody spectacularly to show our resolve!
Unclean!!! Unclean!!!
Democrat administrations have been purging the military since Truman. The current operation is more extensive, though less spectacular (Tailhook), than any previously with the purge extending to E1s and prophylaxis at the recruiting stations.
It was not an intelligence failure, it was intentional, they needed bodies, didn’t care who, just like today, they need bodies to get back on track with their evil plans of the fake acting like they have a clue as a sign of their ability to lead. .
We are at war ..no one believes it..
Hey, the Pentagon man said he was truly sorry, as opposed to just being sorry, so that very generous sentiment from him should assuage all grief over there in Afghanistan and nullify the total stupidity and the utter evil inherent in the Biden administration.
The Hellfire missile has a 20-pound warhead according to my Google search.
If explosives were suspected, perhaps a warhead with say one pound of explosives could have been used to minimize civilian casualties.
Way to go, Joe...Way to go.
Just like General Westmoreland and the obsession with the “Body Count” in Vietnam.
“Turns out I’m really good at killing people. Didn’t know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine.” - Barack Obama
WRONG car... so what car DID they think they were trailing, and where did it go???
IMHO, the USA Military top brass leadership sucks. They all should immediately resign or be fired!!! We are going to pay a high price for these incompetents that Democrat Faux POTUS has installed at the Pentagon!!! The lifebloods and MoJo volunteers, of our armed forces will not get the magnificent, motivated to victory, troops..just the bottom of the barrel. No young man or young woman with half a functioning brain would sign up under the command of these murderers of our troops, innocent civilians and scores of innocent children. Democrat, Joe Biden and his political party are all murderers, traitors & turncoats. The USA we once knew, honored and worshiped is being killed by those Biden, Democrat Party, scum and vermin, low life with every passing day!!!
And...just what are the American people doing....they are totally asleep at the wheel...And, What are The Republicans, led by weaK sister, Mitch McConnell...nothing...they are afraid Their of their own shadows...no “Profiles Of Courage or America First” there. Sickening to watch and suffer with!!! Our enemies are literally having a ball laughing at us and our stupidity!!! End of story.....Case Closed!!!
Bottom line.....Democrats, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer should be impeached or thrown out of public office...period!!! If not, the once great, world Leader, USA dies on the vine of the incompetent Democrat Party!!! Americans...your choice. You get what you vote for...so please do not complain when Americ, you & your children, go down, to 100% obscurity & destruction from internal and foriegn attack!!!
Yeah they latched onto a white Toyota Corolla because hardly anyone drives a Toyota over there.🙄

> marking a disastrous intelligence failure for the Biden administration
The Biden administration IS a disastrous intelligence failure.
The Taliban/ISIS probably knows where we get our info, so they just slipped this little rumor in there and sat back and watched the show while we killed someone they were going to kill anyway. I’ll bet they had a really good rip-roaring laugh.
I contend that in time we will learn that Biden was rushing the top brass constantly demanding some sort of retaliation, about which Biden cared not other than to hurry up and do something. The push to rush cascaded all down the line and led to rushed judgments.
Demoncrats and their evil policies and inept actions inspire more Afghans to become terrorists.
Who will be punished for these murders of innocents?
my question is this: who supplied the target information to the US military? We know from published reports that the CIA and all US intelligence personnel bugged out of Kabul when the Taliban were at the gates of the city. So it is doubtful they could supply a suitable target.
Also from published reports the State department had great confidence in the Taliban and proved it by supplying them with names and contact information of all Americans and Afghans we wanted sent to get out with the understanding they would make it happen.
I am of the opinion either the US military, or US State Department asked the Taliban to provide an ISIS target for retaliatory killing. The Taliban instead purposely provided a US friendly target just to further humiliate the US.
What say ye????
