Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan continues to unravel itself further as time goes on.
Hours before American troops left Afghanistan in masse, Joe Biden approved a drone strike allegedly targeting ISIS-K suicide bombers held up in a Kabul compound.
The Pentagon has since confirmed that this air strike did not kill anyone associated with ISIS-K, or any other terrorist organization.
Instead the strike murdered 10 innocent civilians who had not acted out against the United States. Seven of these civilians were children under the age of ten years old.
At the time of the strike, it was announced by America’s military leadership that the attack was on an “imminent threat” to the Kabul airport.
According to Fox News, Times reporting has identified the driver as Zemari Ahmadi, a longtime worker for a U.S. aid group,” the report states. “The evidence suggests that his travels that day actually involved transporting colleagues to and from work. And an analysis of video feeds showed that what the military may have seen was Mr. Ahmadi and a colleague loading canisters of water into his trunk to bring home to his family.
It’s hard to believe that the most experienced, and most well trained military professionals in the world could mistake water, for explosive materials leading to the deaths of civilians in the double digits.
General Mark Milley claims that a second powerful explosion indicated the vehicle being full of explosives. The New York Times however did an investigation of the scene, and found no evidence of a secondary explosion.
Milley seemed firm in the idea that the strike was based on good intelligence despite General McKenzie having confirmed that the strike killed no terrorists.
