You know that if this had occurred under President Trump all the Credentialed Media and elected Democrats would have been calling for hearings and impeachment
NYT: Biden May Have Droned Innocent Family in Kabul; Possible War Crime
The New York Times published the results of an investigation on Friday that suggests the Biden administration targeted an innocent man who worked for a U.S. organization in a drone strike that killed several civilians. If true, the airstrike could constitute a violation of international law governing such targeted killings in wartime — in other words, a war crime.
The airstrike, which took place on August 29, was presented by the Biden administration as an attack on a potential ISIS-K terrorist who had been driving an explosive-laden vehicle that was to be detonated at the international airport in Kabul. It was the second such strike, following one on Aug. 28 in Nangarhar province against suspected Islamic State terrorists.
The Times report suggests that the U.S. killed “the wrong person†in a report accompanied by security camera footage that shows the target, Zemari Ahmadi, filling water canisters for his family that the military may have mistaken for explosives.
Astonishingly, the Times reports that “[m]ilitary officials said they did not know the identity of the car’s driver when the drone fired.†But in the wake of an August 26 suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. servicemembers as well as scores of Afghan civilians, they believed that he posed an imminent danger based on “how they interpreted his activities that day.†(snip)
Mistaken identity, by itself, is not proof that international law has been violated. However, if there is no genuine attempt to identify the target, such a killing may violate international law.
Of course, none of this would have happened if Biden’s plan hadn’t been garbage from the get go. Now what happens? That the NY Times actually investigated and published this story is amazing. They report that the number of civilians killed wasn’t three, but, ten, including seven children. Expect quite a bit of stonewalling from the Biden admin and their Woke military leaders.
And, of course, most of the other big media outlets are totally ignoring the story. Have to protect Surrender Joe, you know.
Joey and the military lied.

The US under Bush, Obama and tRump has a storied history killing civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq. Obama even went so far as ordering the assassination of a US citizen in Yemen, Anwar al-Awlaki. al-Awlaki’s 16 yr old son was killed in a CIA drone strike in 2011. A daughter, 8 yr old Nawar al-Awlaki was killed in 2017 in a strike ordered by then president trump.
The death toll in the attack on Mr. Zemari Ahmadi:
We should be ashamed and demand better.
I am not ashamed. Need to kill more Islams.
Rimjob, the dipshit that lied about joining the Army during Vietnam ya know, feels others should be ashamed or something.
Bwaha! Lolgf
Bungholio, and his dipshit master, Teach, make up stories ya know, and simultaneously criticize and applaud President Biden for killing Muslims. You boyz are nucking futs.

The only thing shocking about this is that Mr Dowd didn’t combitch about the targeted termination of Qasem Soleimani.
I have far less problem with targeted strikes aimed at Terrorist leaders, even when the ‘collateral damage’ takes out (supposedly) innocent civilians as well. The only problem with the strike that killed Major Genertal Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis is that it did not also send the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as well.
The new President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, is an out-and-out murderer.
He’s the next one who needs to be sent to his 72 virgins.
Killing mooslem terrorists is like killing commies. The more the merrier. We can’t win a “War on terrorism” if we’re afraid to fight it and we can’t fight to win unless we’re prepared to kill them all until they cry for mercy. That’s how they’d do us!
Anyone claiming stolen valor is a scumbag. I don’t speak for anyone else but when I went to war I did it to kill communists for my country and our allies. And I did an excellent job of it.
This particular “patriot” simultaneously accuses the Deep State of tricking him into going to Vietnam but also claims he went to kill communists for America.
Classic nuCon – can hold two diametrically opposing thoughts and not feel any conflict. He boasts of killing communists AND of grifting millions from the American taxpayer like a good commie.
This hypocritical pussy got himself vaccinated and urges others not to.
At present the greatest terrorist threats to the US are not Islamists but right-wingers – ya know, the white nationalist thugs that stormed the US Capitol on 1/06. Not even the 9/11 hijackers were able to get to the Capitol building, although the tRump terrorists did. And they haven’t stopped trying.
According to him the only thing to do with terrorists is “if… we can’t fight to win unless we’re prepared to kill them all”.
“This particular “patriot†simultaneously accuses the Deep State of tricking him into going to Vietnam but also claims he went to kill communists for America.”
Once again (or should I say as usual) you’re a fuking liar Elwood. Where did I ever state I was “tricked” by the deep state into volunteering for Vietnam? Where? Show me the quote! Secondly when you put Patriot in quotes referring to me you once again exhibit your jealousy of my accomplishments by trying to defame me. Do you have a Bronze Star with a “V”? How about two Purple Hearts and the scars that go with them? So if I’m a “patriot” what does that make you other than a coward and a traitor?
“He boasts of killing communists AND of grifting millions from the American taxpayer like a good commie.”
So is everyone who does business with the government “grifting” or is it just me? You fuking fraud. You and your commie friends steal the money from hard working Americans but you only want it to go to your pals. If a non-fascist opens an NGO Non-profit you get your panties all twisted up. Liar.
“This hypocritical pussy got himself vaccinated and urges others not to.”
What is it with you fascists and the constant lies? You know damn well I NEVER urged anyone not to get vaccinated. Can’t you make ANY point without lying? BTW, you are the one who wants to FORCE people who either don’t want, don’t need or are medically unable to be vaccinated to risk their life for YOU SELFISH cause.
“At present the greatest terrorist threats to the US are not Islamists but right-wingers – ya know, the white nationalist thugs that stormed the US Capitol on 1/06. Not even the 9/11 hijackers were able to get to the Capitol building, although the tRump terrorists did. And they haven’t stopped trying.”
First the greatest terrorist threats to the US are BLM, Antifa who together burned 25 American cities, looted $6 billon worth of private stores, destroyed police stations, post offices and gov’t bldgs, and murdered 26 American citizens. The protest on 1/6 did none of those things your lying commie propagandist.
Second, on July 2, 1915, a former German professor at Harvard University, Eric Muenter, slipped into the Senate’s Reception Room and left three sticks of dynamite. In fact, Muenter wanted to blow up the Senate Chamber, but that was locked, so he left the explosive materials in the adjacent room. Plus, Following World War I, about 25,000 U.S. veterans gathered outside Congress in 1932 in a bid to receive a salary bonus promised to them in previous legislation. Under that law, the bonus was scheduled for 1945, but the Depression meant the vets were desperate for money.
An expedited bonus passed the House, but not the Senate in 1932. The marchers were disappointed, but peacefully dispersed, with some setting up camps near Capitol Hill. That next month, armed federal troops, led by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Maj. Dwight Eisenhower and George Patton, “torched and gassed the veterans’ camps, killing several and wounding many”. That was a lot more violent then a few dozen UNARMED protestors you lying pig..
Then there’s the radical left wing communist (Elwoods friends). In the early 1970s, the anti-Vietnam War group known as the Weather Underground planted a series of explosives around Washington, D.C.. The group also detonated explosives in other major U.S. cities. Three of their founding members accidentally blew themselves up in 1970 while making bombs in New York City.
Also, On March 1, 1954, four Puerto Rican separatists entered the House floor during an upcoming vote. As part of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party, these individuals wanted Puerto Rico to be independent, not a U.S. territory.
That afternoon, the Puerto Rican nationalists, armed with handguns, shot indiscriminately into the House, wounding five congressmen. All four assailants were later apprehended.
No Patriot protestors on 1/6 shot anyone or were armed.
In November 1983, a bomb ripped through the Capitol’s north wing. Just before the blast, a caller claiming to be a member of the “Armed Resistance Unit” a radical LEFT WING PRO-COMMUNIST organization said the bomb had been planted to protest U.S. military actions in Grenada and Lebanon. The bomb caused $250,000 in damages, but no one was injured.
In July 1998, an armed assailant broke past security and ran toward the office of then-Majority Whip Rep. Tom DeLay, of Texas. In their effort to stop the assailant, two Capitol Police officers died in the line of duty: Officer Jacob Chestnut, Jr., and Detective John Gibson. You guess the party affiliation of the shooter.
YOU CAN CONTINUE TO LIE BUT UNTIL YOUR COMRADES MANAGE TO ERASE OUR RECORDED HISTORY IT WILL DO YOU NO GOOD.
“And they haven’t stopped trying.”
Really? And where are all these “White supremacists” and “Trump terrorists” you in you psychotic paranoid state see behind every tree? Where you dumbass? Are they celebrated like BLM or Antifa? Are they represented in “Time capsules” of prda placed where American History once stood? I think not because they DON’T EXIST in any priceable quantity.
“According to him the only thing to do with terrorists is “if… we can’t fight to win unless we’re prepared to kill them allâ€.”
And what would a big man like you do with sworn enemies? Give them $90 billion in equipment? “Negotiate”? Send them cash like Hussein did? I bet you’d rather just blow them for shits and giggles.
Once again you can’t win the argument so you resort to lies and name calling. BTW, you’re not supposed to be commenting to me. You lied AGAIN!
100s of thousands of innocent civilians were killed directly or indirectly ( no electricity)
In our misconceived war on terror
2 million died in Indochina
The business of America is to make war on our countries
10000 dollars invested I. GENERAL Dynamics 20 years ago would be worth 1300pp dollars now
Teach still interested in a war with Iran ?
Civilians involved in a war effort are not “innocent”. They are enablers and therefore viable targets. Just like mooslems and Red Chinese lobbyists in America giving aid and support to terrorist groups or enemy nations are seditious or involved in espionage and need to be hanged. In public. That would do away with the entire demofascist party.
That’s the only lesson of WWII and yet you fuking morons just don’t get it. We won the last war we actually won because we killed everybody and blew up everything. That’s how you wage war. If you’re not willing to do that then just surrender.
