Exit wounds - "It was a mistake."

Journal by fustakrakich

Oops!

But "He said he is 'fully responsible for this strike and the tragic outcome.'"

"We apologize, and we will endeavor to learn from this horrible mistake," another guy said. I'm sure they will.. uh huh

But hey! "at least one of those people that were killed was an ISIS facilitator.". Not even, eh?

The 10 dead were all members of the same extended family, relatives told NBC News, and included the seven children. Some were as young as 2 and 3.

Milley said "Trump is nuts", no wait, I'm sorry, that's a misquote, what he really said was, "... at this point, we think the procedures were correctly followed, and it was a righteous strike." (from "over the horizon")

Way to go, guys!

And the press! There's speculation the story was delayed/ignored for some time...

EDIT:
Hmm, The Silence of the Dems is so deafening! *Can't Touch This!*

EDIT 2:
AOC - democrat socialist? Hardly! democrat socialite..

    Here you are repeating Taliban talking points [washingtonpost.com]. There actually is evidence linking Osama bin Laden to the 9/11 attacks [npr.org]. For that matter, Osama bin Laden claimed responsibility [theguardian.com] for the 9/11 attacks.

    I'll certainly agree that the war was horribly planned from the start, that it was mismanaged over and over again, and that multiple administrations lied about the situation in Afghanistan. The Afghanistan Papers [washingtonpost.com] make a pretty good case that the American people were repeatedly lied to about the war. I will certainly agree that the war was botched at every turn and that both Bush-era AUMFs have been repeatedly stretched to Goatse-level proportions to justify absurd abuses of military power. But repeating Taliban talking points that imply Osama bin Laden might have been innocent is just asinine.

    There actually is evidence...

    No, there isn't. Those vids are unreliable.

    Osama bin Laden claimed responsibility for the 9/11 attacks.

    He did not. "purported to be..." That's not evidence. You have nothing
