Intelligence officials warned the U.S. military — too late — that children may have been in or near a car targeted in an Aug. 29 drone strike in Kabul which left 10 innocents dead, according to a report.
It’s unclear exactly when the CIA’s alert was issued, said CNN, which cited three anonymous sources who noted there were just seconds to spare before the Hellfire missile hit Zmaray Ahmadi’s Toyota Corolla.
The Biden administration has been forced to backpedal on initial claims the strike had cut down a terrorist who was an “imminent threat” to the country, acknowledging Friday that Ahmadi, an aide worker, was an innocent.
“I am now convinced that as many as 10 civilians, including up to seven children, were tragically killed in that strike,” Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr., head of U.S. Central Command, said Friday, adding, “We now assess that it is unlikely that the vehicle and those who died were associated with ISIS-K or a direct threat to US forces.”
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin issued a statement calling Zemari an “innocent victim,” adding, “we apologize.”

“Somebody... wake up Joe!!!”
This is simply a lie.
Karma will catch up
This. Evil. Man.
Very soon Very very soon
Idiots. The whole thing was a farce designed to try to look tough after they got the Marines killed.
WTF x1000 is going on with America? The drone order went through every POS up to the corpse.
And they’ve done nothing about it since. They’ll do nothing about it.
Agreed. Pure CYA BS!
I’ll ask again.
Who is getting fired for murdering these children?
Who is getting prosecuted?
The Feds hounded Blackwater contractors for years for far less.

Correct, and there was no CIA call that there are children. No one can prove the CIA didn’t fabricate this. After all, it was supposedly the CIA that worked out the details with the Taliban for the names and locations of the bombers.......... CIA works for the State Department: Secretary of State who reports directly to the president. Oops
Translation: We only killed 10 kids because of our heroic actions.
A special place in Hell for this group.
Whatever happened to "if it saves just one child..."
And the Commie Panda he rode in on. Sideways.
EVEN the millions we'll be handing over to A’stan terrorists, exceeds what Fidel got.
America is a global laughing stock!
Too bad General Milley wasn’t available to call the “terrorists” and warn them about the attack.
