Where is 'righteous' President Biden's empathy towards the innocent Afghan family he slaughtered with a botched drone strike – and why is the tame liberal mainstream media turning such a blind eye to an atrocity that shames America?
Daily Mail ^ | Sept. 21, 2021 | Piers Morgan

Three weeks ago, a US drone strike was ordered on a white Toyota Carolla car in Kabul, Afghanistan, being driven by a suspected terrorist.

The single Hellfire missile was launched from an M-Q Reaper drone which had surveilled its target for eight hours, flying at a maximum altitude of 50,000 feet.

Hellfire missiles travel at speeds of up to Mach 1.3 or 997 miles per hour, so there would have been around half a minute between the missile being launched and detonating.

The drone did its job and killed the suspected terrorist, whom American intelligence had identified as working for ISIS-K – Islamic State Khorasan Province, the most extreme and violent jihadist militant group in Afghanistan.

It also killed nine other people including seven children.

Despite immediate reports of innocent civilian casualties, Gen. Mark A. Milley, the Chinese-friendly chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave a Pentagon news conference several days later in which he described the attack as a 'righteous strike.'

Righteous, according to the dictionary, means 'morally right or justifiable', 'free from guilt or sin' and 'very good, excellent.'

And General Milley certainly sounded very righteous as he defended the decision to 'neutralize' the suspected ISIS-K bomb maker who was supposedly preparing an imminent attack on Kabul airport.

But there was just one problem.

A rather massive problem, in fact.

The terror suspect, Zamarai Ahmadi, wasn't a terrorist.

He was an aid worker - a $500-a-month employee of the California-based charity Nutrition and Education International.

None of the other victims were terrorists or connected to any terror group either.

News of this was suppressed. The American public doesn’t know about it.
We will be paying millions in reparations to the family.

It’s OK to kill innocent people with DEMOCRAT missiles.

One. The democrats don’t care.
Two. Chomo Joe is a sociopath. He feels nothing for anyone else and everyone is a tool to enrich him and his disgusting family. The guy feels up little girls on camera and gets away with it for crying out loud...

Also claimed there were secondary explosions implying that there were explosives and/or ammo in the car

I didn’t know children could explode

According to the Nutritional and Education International website, the organization is dedicated to teaching women to farm soybeans and how to improve their health. Most likely a Christian organization.

So, yeah, according to ISIS-B's (Biden) own DHS's definition of a terrorist group, it was a righteous strike.

There, fixed it

Biden: “We will not forget. We will not forgive. We will come after you
and make you pay.”

And so he did. The way the Germans did when people from some village the Germans were occupying offed a German officer - and the Germans rounded up a bunch of citizens (no matter who) and executed them point blank.

Well, it is now Old News. Kinda like the disaster of a withdrawal from Afghanistan. Only those horrible Right Wingers on OAN, First News, News Max and the three ultra right wingers on FOX are even talking about this old news that happened weeks ago.

I am being sarcastic, in case you don’t understand the concept.

Perhaps this was a set up? Taliban agents may have passed off intel though intermediaries that made it’s way to our military that this person was a high value target.

Take him out and they get us to do their dirty work but more importantly make horrible optics for Biden.

, News of this was suppressed.

Um, no. Even the New York Times published several stories on it. Its everywhere, including the New York Post. Pretty much everyone knows about this slaughter of innocent women and children by Dementia Joe.

The American public doesn't know about it.

Except they do.
And the public in Europe and Asia know about it too.

Nope.
You need to listen to fat Milley’s press conference after this dastardly attack.

Of course they care. Cause it's going to cost them plenty in the midterm elections.
