US Drone Strike Allegedly Kills 7 Children
Above-the-fold story in today's New York Times.
What percentage of the people who would spend the morning posting/tweeting that "Netanyahu is a war criminal!!" if this was an Israeli drone will be posting/tweeting that "Biden is a war criminal!" today?
Just asking.

Muslims use women and children as human shields exactly because they know it's morally distasteful to the dumb Westerners. And because dead children are great for PR.

When the vehicle hit there was a secondary explosion. It sucks civilians ALLEGEDLY died, but I don't buy some innocent family just so happened to be leaving for an event when the drone strike ocurred.
Jesus Christ, this world is so full of faux outrage it's hard to muster any when warranted. And I'm sorry, but had the US not acted, dozens (likely hundreds with the use of a vehicle packed with explosives) would've died.

Of course they won't. Because it has nothing to do with dead kids and EVERYTHING to do with Jews.

This gets so annoying. It's war, sometimes unfortunate things are going to happen. If 7 children are dead, if it helps you get through it, just remember that more than likely they would have grown up to be suicide bombers. And I feel zero sadness for anyone who loses a loved one in combat. They know what they're signing up for.

Be careful what you wish for, R12. The Russians have drones, too.

The reason the Abbey Gate at the airport was open for a suicide bomber to target is the British.
SOD Austin, on a call with international defense leaders before the bombing, told them that an attack by ISIS-Khorasan was imminent and that the US was going to close the Abbey gate, where they beloved the attack was going to happen.
The British begged Austin to keep the gate open because that was the gate closest to the British being evacuated. Austin caved to our close ally and now the US is paying the consequences.
The British had so much to say about Biden but can’t even fight their own fights. They want to go it alone in the world but can’t even use their advanced military to protect their own people.

R11, the way the media has covered this evac from the start, has laid the groundwork for someone like the mother of one of our dead marines to go on a political rant. She was clearly not a Biden supporter from the start. I mean. Within 72 hours of her son's death she is screaming at "you Democrats" makes me believe she is Fox News through and through and she's probably been to a Trump rally at least once. IMO it is so sad that she is using the death of her own son for this. She does him no honor.

Since Truman in Korea the only US president who stood up to Russians in combat was Trump. No way Biden has the balls.

R17, that did not go unnoticed. What's even more disgusting is, the British Parliament took the time to admonish Biden for holding to the timeline to leave Afghanistan by August 31st, but they officially ended the mission to evacuate British citizens days ago. Because they got everyone eligible to leave? Nope! Their Secretary of State for Defence has declared the UK's Afghanistan mission over, and any UK citizens left in the country should try to get to the border to escape.

If standing up to Russians means getting doused in krokodil piss, then I suppose you're right.
