    There is a huge difference between an abuse of prisoners over the course or more than a year and a single incident of bad intel

    Yes, I am right that drones do not fly at thousands of miles altitude

    If they hit brown people, as opposed to white people, though, by your own words you're happy as a clam.

    Ahh nice try, everyone with a brain knows we shouldn't have left American, which means we wouldn't have had to go back, which means we wouldn't have killed this aid worker nor would another 170 have been killed including 13 American soldiers. We had a peaceful situation and Americans weren't dying. We had control of the city to easily get people out and Biden decisions were very very deadly but let's move on friendly fire....

    Dead wrong on this one, sorry I like your posts but it was based on an agreement with the afghan government. And yes it was Biden's decision to leave and go back, it's his call he made and he should accept that these lives, what 185 or so and counting. Now you also have a situation with Americans stranded, I'm sure the Afghans will help us get them out. Surely terrorist won't try to make a point with these stranded Americans, right?

    This is what happens when politicians are eager to make themselves look good, and they have access to easily implemented instruments of death. Like I’ve said many times, using drones without boots on the ground ensuring the right targets are being hit and minimizing collateral damage is BS.

    This isn’t he first time this has happened. Previous administrations have engaged in this cowardly and irresponsible tactic in the past. This one is completely on Biden, however.

    Yeah, I do feel as though if we had boots on the ground, we could've acquired the intelligence necessary to avoid the tragedy.

    Nope, the previous Afghan government was not even part of the deal or even asked to be a 3rd party to it. The deal was between the Taliban and the United States....period.

    Please read again you couldn't be more wrong.
    With the start of intra-Afghan negotiations, the United States will initiate an administrative review of current U.S. sanctions and the rewards list against members of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban with the goal of removing these sanctions by August 27, 2020, which corresponds to Muharram 8, 1442 on the Hijri Lunar calendar and Saunbola 6, 1399 on the Hijri Solar calendar.

    With the start of intra-Afghan negotiations, the United States will start diplomatic engagement with other members of the United Nations Security Council and Afghanistan to remove members of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban from the sanctions list with the aim of achieving this objective by May 29, 2020, which corresponds to Shawwal 6, 1441 on the Hijri Lunar calendar

    The United States and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban seek positive relations with each other and expect that the relations between the United States and the new post-settlement Afghan Islamic government as determined by the intra-Afghan dialogue and negotiations will be positive.

    The strike was made in haste so Biden could appear to be doing something.

    Just like the strike that supposedly killed two terrorists that Biden won't release the names of.

    Even more tragically there was a drone overhead tracking the suicide bomber that killed our troops.

    Biden never gets anything right and he lies constantly to America.

    The Taliban that our allies in Afghanistan are fighting today have been released from prison by Trump.

    who was the deal between.....

    Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan between the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban and the United States of America

    The previous government of Afghanistan was not part of the deal, was not asked about the deal and was not who the deal was between.

    Single case of bad intel? The entire Biden nightmare was based on intel.
