Drone locked on suicide bomber, DOD refused permission

Wow. I'm impressed at the speed of the talking point spread here. Usually, it's about 24 hours. This tidbit was dropped barely an hour ago.
Funny enough. Nothing about it on legitimate media.

"Legitimate media" LOL! The very fact that your corporate media isn't covering this is strong evidence it's true.

Yea ok

Honestly ICE. . I just don't know what is going on. It's like that maxim. . . the first causality of war is truth.

I don't believe much of anything I read about what is going on over there. There is certainly A LOT of politics going on behind the scenes, and a lot of interests we know nothing about.

US military had drone lock on Kabul suicide bomber, didn’t take the shot: former official

“A Predator drone had a lock on him,” and the DOD “refused to grant permission to fire upon that bomber,” Pardo-Maurer said.

so we didn't want to upset the taliban as they are attacking us.

I got nothing.

LOL

Sez this guy...

but who cares

????

If we don't care, if we a gas lit into thinking it doesn't make a difference?


. . my apologies.

well my main point was far more that we get reports that say anything that need to be said at the time. i've read reports they work together, i've read reports they don't.

"who cares" if they work together. if we know a suicide bomber is coming at us, take 'em out. i don't care WHO you are or WHO you're with.

if not with the taliban then the taliban shouldn't care. but if we know it's happening then i have to think the taliban does too.

who knows who is right while we speculate.

 

[WEATHER53]

Well see we must avoid any Turbanban criticism even if it means Americans lives because criticism is hurtful

I partially agree.

That is why I posted all those articles of the Taliban quibbling with our folks about drone strikes. If they know that a strike could potentially kill more of their citizens, than the suicide bomber could kill of ours. . . .

Then what would OUR leaders chose in such a scenario?

then i go back to if the taliban is concerned, they need to control areas out side the airport like biden gave them full power to do. someone attacking the airport is OUR area and we should defend OUR guys regardless.

concern for their citizens has never been a taliban trait. seems we copied them here *if* true.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

almost as fast as you running in here to say NUH UNH!!!

This claim literally appears nowhere else.

great. we will see if true in time. for now, we can talk about it and trash each other like we do in almost every other thread.

wheee.

ok - back to fuck this place.

bye.

Seriously, confronted with the fact that Washington held the military back from killing a suicide bomber which caused the deaths of so many, and you are whining about how fast the information got around? Really? This is what outrages you?

Apparently so will you.

yes, I am sure they briefed this "former official" on the entire event. So he could run to the totally not credible MRC Latino and tell his story. Give me a fkn break.

He wanted to make sure it was exclusively covered by MRC Latino, just like people always do with true, important stories.

Finally, someone with facts.

Great, let's see your evidence this story is true...

 

[colfax_m]

argue the fucking issue or go the fuck away.

There’s nothing to argue. A guy said a thing. No one has any idea if it’s true or not.

Although that won’t stop a lot of people from acting as if it’s gospel because it confirms what they want to believe.

No evidence that was the case. Not one legitimate media outlet reporting this.
