U.S. Central Command head Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr. announced on Friday that after a thorough investigation of a U.S. drone strike on Aug. 29 in Kabul, Afghanistan, they have determined 10 civilians had been killed, including up to seven children. He added it was unlikely the vehicle and those who died were associated with ISIS-K.
“It was a mistake and I offer my sincere apologies,” McKenzie said during a Pentagon briefing. “The strike was a tragic mistake.”
McKenzie went on to explain surveillance that had been done and it was his assessment leaders on the ground “had achieved reasonable certainty at the time of the strike to designate the vehicle as an imminent threat to U.S. forces at the airport.” He also said his assessment was the strike team was convinced at the time of the strike that the area was clear of civilians.

That’s what happens when college tuition is promised after joining the army. So much technology and so little critical thinking!
They should drop a bomb on this guys house, and say “oops it was a mistake”
At least they should be able to locate the WMD’s they left behind
war is an evil act but we can’t live without it because we live with demons ✔️
No matter how much ur trying to explain wont bring the innocent back. And im sure this wont be the last "mistake". And i dont even believe ur explanation, simoly because the dept of defense wont allow classified files be revealed by anyone unless authorised. And i dont believe you have this authority to tell this in such details.
Dont they feel ashamed ?
why don’t you go the Kabul to talk to the remaining of that family, and let them know how sorry you were…. You are F*cked
guess this is what happens when you put someone on the minimum wage and food stamps in charge of a drone.
Well the real Terrorist in the world finally revealed.. Dont worry bcoz we as muslims already knowing the day will comes this killing will make us as muslims keep growing stronger for our faith&believe to Allah SWT.. Allah already said in Quran about how hard the test for our as the last ummah The Prophet Muhammad Rasulullah SAW peace be upon him, Islam will face the hardest discriminated the hardest to become the most hated religion and the most hard trial is the Biggest slander/fitnah of the false Al masih Dajjal a.k.a your Lord of false messiah. My pray and my doa to them may Allah SWT grant all of them martyrs straight Jannah. Amin ya rabbal alamin.
You will answer to our Creator for this War crime and you will pay a heavy price.
Show the predator video if there was only one person there.
And thats it?
My heart is truly broken, Are we a nation that allows murder of children in the name of political expedience and what are we to make of Sorry, we killed you kids, see you tomorrow folks? The President is normally the one who orders these type of strikes, don’t hold your breath waiting for a apology from Biden, What a sad joke we are, God help us
That’s why the word atrocity haf to be invented to describe human activities.
Send them all over to Afghanistan to face their fates. Imagine if the terrorist who organized 9/11 came on TV and apologized. Would we just accept it and move on?
You are always mistaken
This should show everyone what elites think of us, Anyone of us would loose our job and be sent packing, I bet this guy does not even get a bad review put in his file
For those who do not know "An ex gratia payment is made to an individual by an organization, government, or insurer for damages or claims, but it does not require the admittance of liability by the party making the payment!"
Your high ups are trying to start a WAR !
America immersed in innocents blood, let u have bath in it until u exist
And the US wondeers why they are so hated in the rest of the world – forcing their ideology on tribal countries where democracy will never work.
If Trump did this the leftist media would be nonstop calling for impeachment and Democrat congress would do it. No one is above the law, right. This was murder, not 1 terrorist killed or even there.
"Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”
(1 Samuel 15:3)
Everything you people do is a friggin mistake how bout for once show us something you didn’t mess up
All by design
World can take your war crimes as mistakes 👏👏👏
You are always mistaken
Biden: come on man it just yesterday!
Give Biden a Nobel prize just like Obama, because he did the same before. History is just repeating.
Minute 1.00: he could have shrugged
I’m surprised that people were shocked that US committed this horror. This incident could possibly be where the lowest number of innocent lives were lost. Think of how many civilian lives were lost when more powerful bombs were used by the US. Remember nuclear bombs and mother of all bombs unleashed by the US? Many people had automatically turned a blind eye to the many heinous crimes of the US over the years if not decades which baffled me when those people unabashedly claimed to support human rights.
disband the US military until they can remember how to do their jobs properly
US President Biden just keep f**king things up. Americans, great job in voting this POS.
Where’s uncle Joe. Didn’t he say that "I will not forget. We will hunt you down and went golfing right after?
8hrs to kill 10 people, and it wasn’t rushed?
Now for the red flag event so we can forget what happened and jump on the war wagon
Kenneth F. McKenzie and his associates must give account to Jesus on the day of judgement for all their actions. God will give them what they deserve.
war crime
They finally admitted it!! I saw this reported as such a day after on Epoch times! The MSM truly is a tool of the evil ones.
The MSM cried more and was more outraged when Solomani the terrorist general was droned.
i hear it was a mitake, i take responsibility, my sincere apology . is that all takiing responsibility with your mouth only. General, come on be a real man and do the right thing: RESiGN and pay compensation!
War criminal
I hope the cn*ts who controlled that drone know they are child killers now. Hope this fact will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
Biden: please do not blame me, I was sleeping at the time of the f*ck-up
This guy is mistake,
This guy embarrassed the all US army
This guy must be charge with humanity crimes.
America is the cause of many wars and problems around the world including in their own country! SMH
US and his partners are killer of humanity
Forget ISIS and the Taliban, the US is the world’s largest terror organization.
Let’s get access to the SIGINT
And Milley totally lied about there being secondary explosions. There is no alternative to this. And had the NY Times no investigated and reported this story, the Pentagon would never have admitted anything. What a mockery our senior military leadership has become! Milley must go!!!
