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..

    The motive for lying to invade Afghanistan and the domestic power grab is much greater. The means? Please! But yeah, putting an official seal on your story makes it much more believable, right? All you still have are "allegedly"s and "supposedly"s... Ya can't prove a thing, not without getting caught in your own net

    Greater than what? You can't even be bothered to put a complete argument out there.

    Evidence that you continue to claim isn't there, in other words. Sorry, buddy, but evidence for anything like this always has an official seal to it. Even if it's merely after the fact with someone else doing most of the work.

    I also find it amusing that you're more concerned about the evidence provider (classic ad hominem) than whether the evidence is wrong.

      The provider has a long history of lying before and since Afghanistan, Iraq is a classic case, no reason is given to believe that story any more or less than your Bin Laden one. There's no reason to believe anything they say. The "ad hominem" is well earned. In fact it's not an ad hominem, it's the truth. Your liars are unbelievable. They are lying right now, about war, the "debt", public health, it's a pretty long list.

      The simple fact is that you choose to believe lies, because of where they come from, yours is the proverbial appeal to authority

        That's why I went off the evidence not off the provider.

          The "evidence", by nature of its "provider", is likely false. Your simple appeal to authority does not make it otherwise.

            Based on what evidence?

              Previous history. It's definitely a good indicator of present/future performance. Your "evidence" is presented by people with very big reasons to lie. As was already shown by the link I provided, that you probably didn't read... You just want to believe lies from certain people and parrot their propaganda here

                Again, where's your evidence? I'll note that your refutation of the evidence above just focused on the video of the NPR story. even providing a dubious counterstudy without even considering the rest of the evidence. Second, now you're claiming that all this evidence was fully provided by the US, as if that were true.

                Googling around, I see that bin Laden has claimed responsibility in more places than just a video found in a home. For example, we have this video [wikipedia.org]:

                On October 29, 2004, at 21:00 UTC, Al Jazeera broadcast excerpts allegedly from a videotape of Osama bin Laden addressing the people of the United States; in this video, he accepts responsibility for the September 11 attacks, condemns the Bush government's response to those attacks, and presents those attacks as part of a campaign of revenge and deterrence motivated by his witnessing of the destruction in the Lebanese Civil War in 1982. News analysts speculated that the release of the video was timed to influence the 2004 U.S. presidential election, which would take place four days later.

                This was aired on a Qatar radio station, not a US source.

                Since you have refused to discuss the rest of my evidence list, those points remain uncontested.

                  allegedly from a videotape of Osama bin Laden.. You always leave out the inconvenient parts

                  When I become more interested, I'll look into your "Qatar radio station".. I hope you don't consider them to be "neutral" or anything...

                  News analysts speculated that the release of the video was timed to influence the 2004 U.S. presidential election, which would take place four days later.

                  Yes, very interesting point there, not in your favor either.

                  You still have nothing but conjecture, but to you, if it's official it is fact. That is called *appeal to authority*. You epitomize it.

                    I consider them to not be the US.

                    "Conjecture" which happens to be from bin Laden. And what's the point of tarring all my evidence with the "official" label? Have you even thought about what wouldn't be official?
