Pentagon Won't Name ISIS Terrorists Killed in Airstrike
2021-09-05
[ET] U.S. military officials are withholding the names of the ISIS terrorists allegedly killed by an airstrike in Afghanistan that was carried out in retaliation for the suicide bombing attack that left at least 13 U.S. troops dead.
Perhaps our new Taliban partners purposefully gave us some erroneous targeting data ?

#10  ^Yep. What Blinky said. They killed some random civilians, then declared victory.

And we wonder why people don't love us.

#9  Nice mess with 6 aircraft full of Americans and others up at Maz, not being permitted to take off. Looks like the makings of a hostage situation.

#8  Heck any aliens will look at Biden, assume he's our 'best and brightest' and stay far, far, away just in case stupidity is contagious.

#3  Just guessing, but I bet there will be no more drone strikes at all.

#2  They must have dronezapped only civilians, then. Usually they love to trumpet their successes.
