Joe Biden’s administration is really a clown car of disaster.

They’ve finally been forced to admit how much they screwed up the second drone strike they did during the withdrawal from Kabul — the one they claimed initially was an attempted “ISIS” attack on the airport but in which they killed an aid worker and his family members including several children.

U.S. CENTCOM is now admitting there was no ISIS terrorist taken out at all. Gen. Frank McKenzie acknowledged that they just killed innocent civilians, that it was a “mistake.”

#BREAKING: CENTCOM Gen. McKenzie says the U.S. is "now convinced that as many as ten civilians including up to seven children" were killed in a Aug. 29 drone strike & it was "unlikely that the vehicle & those that died were associated w/ISIS-K or a direct threat to U.S. forces." pic.twitter.com/bG9JkTzTAt

McKenzie claimed they targeted the aid worker’s car because he was driving the type of car they had been tipped off about and went to a building that they believed was an ISIS-K-associated building. They surveilled him and others loading jugs into the car. The jugs as we know now were water jars that he was taking to different buildings to help people suffering from a water shortage.

McKenzie says it was the "assessment that leaders on the ground and the strike cell had achieved a reasonable certainty" that the car was an "imminent threat" and the area was clear of civilians, but the turth was that all of that "was a tragic mistake." pic.twitter.com/fryzZ9Yg77

They’re looking into giving the families some money.

McKenzie: "At the time…based upon all the intelligence and what was being reported, I was confident that the vehicle had averted an imminent threat…I'm here to acknowledge our mistakes. I will end my remarks with the same note of sincere and profound condolences" pic.twitter.com/LmauEL4rLN

This actually shows how troublingly little they needed to kill ten people — color of the car and contact with the building? Will anyone be held responsible? Doesn’t sound like it.

BREAKING: Gen. McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, to announce no ISIS-K fighters killed in U.S. drone strike in Kabul Aug 29. 10 civilians killed, including 7 children in Toyota. No disciplinary action expected, officials say. US military stands by intel leading to strike.

Also, Gen. McKenzie of @CENTCOM saying a key element of the intelligence was that ISIS-K would use a “white Toyota Corolla” is like saying the Taliban will use Ak-47s. It doesn’t really help given that it’s the most common make and model in the entire country of Afghanistan. https://t.co/o6hOpuYX5G

.@TBowmanNPR: “Will anybody be held responsible?”

Gen. McKenzie: “We are in the process right now of continuing that line of investigation. I have nothing for you now because that involved personnel issues.” pic.twitter.com/O8i3Ybe3D5

So if this was supposed to be evidence of their strike capability and it went so wrong, what does this say about that capability? Great question.

.@CBSDavidMartin to Gen. McKenzie: "This was described as an over-the-horizon strike, which is what the U.S. is going to be relying on from now on in Afghanistan, so what does…this incident say about the reliability of future strikes against terrorist threats in Afghanistan?" pic.twitter.com/AdN6N5Fkfv

.@LucasFoxNews: “Can you talk about the challenges of these drone strikes w/o any U.S. troops on the ground?

Gen. McKenzie: “Well, so, we conducted a very successful drone strike two days earlier…And we got the target” there! pic.twitter.com/wwnM2SXrWn

But again, just as here, how do we actually know they conducted a “very successful drone strike” with the alleged retaliatory strike two days earlier. They refuse to name the people involved there and have provided no information about the strike. So just as with this second strike which they were ultimately forced to admit after the reporting showed they were wrong, how do we know they even got any ISIS people there and not just some other poor innocent people?

When asked, McKenzie also didn’t name who ordered the strike.

.@DefenseOne‘s @TaraCopp w/a VERY important question: “Who actually ordered the strike? Who had the final authority to say ‘fire?'”

Gen. McKenzie: “So, in this case, the target engagement authority is held by…the over-the-horizon strike cell commander[.]” pic.twitter.com/XvI6jgZMHX

Now, how politicized has even the military become under Joe Biden? We’ve known these basic facts since August — I reported on it then, how the facts indicated there was no real secondary explosion as the U.S. was claiming so there was no “terrorist with explosives” —  just the family taken out.

But now we’re hearing it on a Friday afternoon, when Joe Biden has already taken off for the beach and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki isn’t having a briefing because of that. So it will get the least attention from the American people possible and hopefully, the news will die over the weekend, they think.

This is just unconscionable.
