From a botched drone strike in Afghanistan to an unprecedented break in relations with France, the final hours of President Joe Biden’s Friday were a deluge of bad news for the president.
A Tragic Failure In Kabul:
The floodgates opened just before 3 p.m. when Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the head of U.S. Central Command, announced the end of a Pentagon investigation that found a retaliatory U.S. drone strike in Kabul killed 10 innocents, including seven children — but zero terrorists. The U.S. carried out the strike on August 29 in reaction to the bombing of U.S. service members at the Kabul airport.
At the time, the administration claimed it had destroyed a vehicle with ISIS-K terrorists inside, while Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley called the move “righteous.”
“I offer my condolences to the family and friends of those killed. This strike was taken in the earnest belief that it would prevent an imminent threat to forces at the airport. It was a mistake and I offer my sincere apology. As a commander, I’m fully responsible for this strike and its tragic outcome,” McKenzie told reporters in a Friday press conference.
Two hours of bad news. Hell, we’ve got four years of awful news.
Every week is BAD NEWS as long as Biden & Harris are in their STOLEN OFFICE !!!!!!!
