We are all painfully aware of the mistaken bombing of the school house in Iran. Killing 175 people, most of them young girls. Apparently attributable to a potential error using outdated target data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency. All the best people.
Regrettably, it seems not to be an isolated incident.
The video was meant to show that the U.S. military, which for months has bombed boats it says are carrying drugs from South America, was “now bombing Narco Terrorists on land,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote on social media.
But a New York Times investigation raises questions about the operation that both the United States and Ecuador spotlighted as part of a new military alliance targeting drug traffickers.
The military strike appears to have destroyed a cattle and dairy farm, not a drug trafficking compound, according to interviews with the farm’s owner, four of its workers, human rights lawyers and residents and leaders in San MartĂn, the remote farming village in northern Ecuador where the strike took place.
I guess I'm wondering if part of Don's late morning intel "briefing," the kind he occasionally gets after his hair and makeup are done, included video of the farm being bombed. You know, since videos of this going BOOM are what pass these days for the kind of serious PDB's prior prez's have received.
WASHINGTON — Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, three current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official said.
The daily montage typically runs for about two minutes, sometimes longer, the officials said. One described each daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up.”
The highlight reel of U.S. Central Command bombing Iranian equipment and military sites isn’t the only briefing Trump gets about the war. He’s also updated through conversations with top military and intelligence advisers, foreign leaders and news reports, the officials said.

We are getting close to the end of the 5 day delay in trump's threat to bomb power plants in Iran if they don't completely open the Strait. Indirect talks are being held but the two sides remain very far apart. Perhaps Don has not seen the last of his daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up.”
What a tragic clown show.

The U.S. Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp. It Was a Dairy Farm.
As President Trump prepared to welcome conservative Latin American leaders to a summit in Florida in early March, U.S. officials released a video of a massive explosion — capturing the destruction of what they said was a drug trafficker’s training camp in rural Ecuador.The video was meant to show that the U.S. military, which for months has bombed boats it says are carrying drugs from South America, was “now bombing Narco Terrorists on land,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote on social media.
