Secretary of State Antony Blinken was grilled by Sen. Rand Paul at the US Capitol Tuesday over recent claims the Biden administration directed a drone-strike against an aid worker in Afghanistan.
“The guy the Biden administration droned, was he an aid worker or an ISIS-K operative?” asked Sen. Paul.
“The administration is reviewing that strike, and I’m sure that a full assessment will be forthcoming,” said Blinken. “I don’t know because we’re reviewing it.”
We know the CIA was out of Afghanistan before Taliban entered Kabul. So who supplied the target to an anxious White House??
I submit it was their good friends, the ones they trusted with the names and addresses of all Americans, the Taliban. Taliban wanted to embarrass the Americans one more time, and did.
Nothing incompetent about it.
They know who they killed. They know they were lying when they did it.
They just hoped that no one would find out. These people have zero compassion or remorse about anything, as long as they achieve their goals.
So, Blinken - yes, he’d be in the decision chain - kills a guy and his kids and he doesn’t even know who the guy was? The Cosa Nostra used to execute people who did that.
Blinken "doesn't know" if we killed the wrong people.
Austin doesn't appear at a Congressional hearing.
Fauci has "no answer" on natural immunities.
What's going on with this administration?

Like their reviewing Joe's call to Afghan President Ghani asking him to lie about the Taliban being at his doorstep.
Hanlon’s razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
There is plenty of both to go around in regards to this regime now squatting in the Oval Office. However, it is possible to be simultaneously both malicious and stupid.
Relying on the good graces and the intelligence services provided by the Taliban has to be a combination of both vices.
It is his business to know. He is lying. If he doesn’t know, just one more reason for the POS to resign.
It was NOT incompetence, it was done on PURPOSE..they needed something, someone, anything to drone to make Biden look good..and it failed miserably
I kind of feel sorry for democrats. They are born to handle this kind of operations.
What difference does it make is their creed.
“ That’s strange. I thought we were supposed to verify the target and make certain it is the actual target that is targetted before one pulls the trigger. But somehow this doesn’t surprise me in the least.”
**********************************************************
It was clearly a “wag the dog” operation demanded by the Biden crew… “Find us a drone target…NOW!”.
Now under Biden the military can't tell the difference between ISIS-K leadership and aid workers. The lack of outrage by the press is apparent.
This is what happens when you pull out and you don’t have assets on the ground to confirm intelligence.
Gross incompetence is OK if you’re a Democrat. No problemo.
Agreed- i don’t laY the incompetence solely at his feet- he is just the fall guy for the whole incompetent regime of Wokie McWokesters running the crap show we call our government-
Joe's potato brain blight is spreading throughout his cabinet.
Soon none of them will be able to speak in complete sentences.
The thing is, the Administration/Milley were adamant that it absolutely was a legit target with an IED. It was supposedly a settled issue, and confirmed. So if they were so sure before, why is there now a need to review it again before making a “full assessment?”
Well, who cares ?What’s the difference, ISIS leaders that we never named or an aid worker delivering water to kids ?So if you don’t know, genius why did someone say they were ISIS bad guys? Who are these people?
