We have been talking about Joe Biden and the chaos he caused in Afghanistan. But all his teams seem to be clowns, on this line. The question we now face is who is more honest: is it the local people in Kabul controlled by the Taliban, or our own leader who has repeatedly lied to us?
The Pentagon told us yesterday that the strike they claimed had “no civilian casualties.” Strike the ISIS-K bomber near the airport.
As we reported later, There were many civilian casualties. The latest report said that 10 people were killed, most of them were members of a family-7 children, 4 of whom were under 5 years old and the youngest was 2 years old. According to reports, they were killed when they got out of the car. The remaining family members told local reporters that they are “an ordinary family.” “We are not Islamic State or Da’esh, this is a family home-my brothers live with their families,” a brother said.
“All neighbors tried to help and brought water to put out the fire. I saw five or six people die,” a neighbor of the family told CNN. “The father of this family, another little boy, and two children. They died. They fell apart. Yes. [also] Two people were injured. “
One of them was an American contractor who came to Kabul to try to evacuate.
The US military admitted that it was investigating reports of civilian casualties, but stated that the drone attack “destroyed the imminent ISIS-K threat” on the grounds that a second explosion occurred at the scene.This account is in @New York Times It raises questions about who was initially targeted. pic.twitter.com/4a2d2YNZBG

The US Central Command is now changing their tune.
“It is unclear what might have happened, and we are investigating further,” said Captain Bill Urban, a spokesperson for the U.S. Central Command. Said in a statement.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby now said: “We can’t dispute this right now.”
Kirby asked about reports of civilian deaths caused by strikes in the United States:
“We can’t dispute this right now. We are evaluating and investigating. There is no doubt: no army on earth works harder to avoid civilian casualties than the U.S. military.”

The Pentagon stated that civilians may be injured in the second explosion after the Islamic State car was hit. But the people on the ground said there was only one explosion.
@nabihbulos with @yamphoto Go to the scene of the reported UAV attack in Kabul. Key details: Witnesses only reported one explosion. The United States strongly recommends that civilian deaths may be related to a second explosion (possibly related to ISIS-K explosives). https://t.co/f47HxsqYi9 pic.twitter.com/9Hhkcpsr79

So what happened here? Why do they never speak out? Imagine if we could not get other news from social media and bypass their plan statement.
Let us hope that they did kill the people of ISIS. Do they rely on Taliban intelligence? But now they have created new problems in the area, including killing people they might be able to save. Once again, they just improved their credibility.
