The headline leaves out that 7 of the 10 killed WERE CHILDREN

Yes indeed, the ADULTS ARE BACK IN CHARGE!

At least the General assumes full responsibility for this horrible mistake. Biden would never do that in a thousand years.

What I want to know is where the directive came from? It seemed to be a political ploy by the Biden administration after the suicide bombing and was carried out way too fast, considering the circumstances.

Seven kids were killed...but at least the General offered his "sincere apology".

Which is far more than Biden has done. Plus the general confessed responsibility. When was the last time Biden admitted to anything? When he took ownership of his actions?

I remember when taking responsibility meant there was consequences associated with the responsibility. Today it just means you need to say "my bad".

What else do you want? Nothing will bring those poor people back. I have a feeling that general did that on a directive from above, he didn't act alone.

It's not coincidental this acknowledgement was made late on a Friday afternoon so as to not receive much attention from the media.... and no comment from sleepy Joe as he headed out to start a one week vacation.

So F****** what?
Is there a penalty, a fine, a trial....or some POS general too afraid to call Biden out for creating the situation.

How did our "boots on the ground" fail to provide intel about this strike?

Oh, I forgot, we don't have any boots on the ground in Afghanistan anymore.
Apparently, we don't have any intel anymore, either.

Benghazi, the Sequel.
