Yes.
They were killed by the big load of explosives that were packed into the car the terrorists were using. The care was hit by a kinetic missile, with no explosive warhead. It was used to minimize civilian casualties.
Try to think of the many civilian casualties the terrorists wanted to create. Think about the hundred or so civilians killed in the last attack by the same group. many children were among their victims but i am hearing very little about them.
Unlike your terrorists, the Americans were actively trying to minimize civilian casualties while their target was on its way to to create as many dead civilians as possible. But many of you don't seem to care about that, at all. Useful idiots is what people with bad intentions call you.
Such thinking is as stupid and wrong as the same sort of instant thoughtless responses coming from the right.
:agony-limitless:
but i am hearing very little about them.
I WONDER FUCKING WHY :guts-rage:
I hate the NYT but I'm actually impressed that they gave this the green light.
This is ultimately a piece of the larger scale attempt to demonize the withdrawal.
You see, if only we had more CIA boots on the ground, we would have known better! We would have droned the correct people!
This gives them cover for when they want to “humanitarily intervene” in Iran or Venezuela.

We’re cheering the knife missile now. We’ll stop once dictatorships start buying these just like normal hellfire missiles and using them on god knows who.
Children. Stupid children who think they understand things because they occasionally visit TheEconomist.com.

This thread about the new revelation is not quite as bad as i imagined it would be.
If the Afghanistan withdrawal is what the Biden administration is going to claim as success, I sure as shit hope I die quickly in a bombing by some far-right psychopath before I have to see something so terrible they admit it was a failure.
Yeah me too, bucko
Don't worry they added an edit to make it clear they lacked empathy
for the record I support drone strikes
Because for these vile cretins, military intervention is simply a given, it's assumed. In that context, they support drone strikes because the only possible alternative is boots on the ground.
/r/neoliberal delenda est
The thing about the car being full of explosives is technically true, as a drone-launched missile placed a sizable amount of explosives inside the car just before the explosion.
Shocking absolutely no one, the US murders a couple extra civilians on the way out, just for funzies.
Death to America, Death to America, Death to America.
It's surprising and probably a cause for celebration among the drone pilots when a US drone strike kills the RIGHT person.
This one kinda fucked with me. Like, there are so many stories about US drone strikes that the initial reaction is "What a surprise, US bad, keep scrolling," but reading this one hurts. They killed an aid worker and the seven kids he was delivering water to, that's absolutely insane.
the US drone strikes about 1,000 wrong people a day so yea probs
