Our forces carried out the operation with their signature preparation and precision.

>Lots of children killed

>Crashed their helicopter

Sounds about right. Wonder if this will be like the airstrike Biden used for some good media coverage a while back that turned out to be us just drone striking a huge family of innocents.

Because:

Biden said the civilian casualties were caused when Qurayshi detonated a suicide vest and other explosives on the third floor of the building where he had taken refuge.

Is exactly the same excuse used back then.

a final act of desperate cowardice

As much as he probably was a piece of shit, I don’t think that wanting to avoid years of horrible torture is cowardly.

I don’t know anything about this event, but the story is that the guy with the suicide vest ran away, but it wasn’t because he decided he was afraid to commit suicide? He actually just chose to blow up random people that weren’t even his targets, and the US military actions were actually completely inconsequential? He was definitely really wearing a bomb? The military is still taking credit for killing the guy that they swear also blew himself up?

They showed up at the exact moment this guy was planning to blow himself up? I don’t know man.

I’m afraid to read the article because I’m sure someone is claiming the answer to all of those questions is yes, and it will drive me crazy.

Bill Maher sucks but this reminds me of how he got cancelled after 9/11 for pointing out that whatever the hijackers’ faults, knowingly carrying out a suicide attack is anything but cowardly.
