"It Was A Mistake": Pentagon Admits Biden Killed Up To 10 Innocent Civilians In Kabul Drone Strike

Less than one week after the New York Times presented comprehensive evidence that the Biden administration murdered an entire family of civilians in an August 29 drone strike in Kabul, the Pentagon is apologizing.

"This strike was taken in the earnest belief that it would prevent an imminent threat to our forces in the evacuees at the airport, but it was a mistake. And I offer my sincere apology. As the combatant commander. I am fully responsible for the strike in this tragic outcome."

As we noted last week, the Times revealed that "Military officials said they did not know the identity of the car's driver when the drone fired, but deemed him suspicious because of how they interpreted his activities that day, saying that he possibly visited an ISIS safe house and, at one point, loaded what they thought could be explosives into the car."

While the U.S. military said the drone strike might have killed three civilians, Times reporting shows that it killed 10, including seven children, in a dense residential block.

The morning of the strike, Mr. Ahmadi's boss called from the office at around 8:45 a.m., and asked him to pick up his laptop.

"The guy the Biden administration droned, was he an aid worker or an ISIS-K operative?" asked Paul.

"You'd think you'd kinda know before you off somebody with a predator drone whether he's an aid worker or he's in ISIS," Paul shot back.
