    Exactly like when Bill Clinton lobbed about 40 Tomahawk missiles at some mud huts in the desert to distract against his cigar episode with Monica.

    This is the worst attempt at deflection sprinkled with hypocrisy by a rightie in a long time.

    When have you or the right ever shown sympathy for absolutely anyone in a Muslim country killed by the US military ?
    Why are you ignoring the observation that a secondary explosion is what killed the nearby civilians ? For the sake if taking partisan political shots at the administration ? Say it isn't so !

    You make zero sense. How is drone strike that missed its target and kills 9 civilians in Kabul the same as a drone strike that killed an Iranian leader responsible for killing thousands of America troops through terrorist activities and proxy wars?

    The bigger issue with your post is that you completely ignore the fact that Biden botched this withdrawal to the point where the Taliban, a group that has condoned terrorism in the past, is providing security for Kabul while the US bumbles around with evacuations. Do they even have to provide safety? The deadline passed. The fact is that none of this would have happened if Joe Biden hadn't cancelled the evacuation plans and contingencies set-up by Trump, and then pushed the withdrawal date to September 11 just so he could get a photo-op.

    No one is pretending to blame a Democrat anymore. Biden is deserved of criticism. Many of our allies are critical of Biden, including the Brits you cited. Even if he is pretending, he's not wrong. And he isn't hypocrite cause were talking about two entirely different situations.

    We've got to start thinking of the right kind of experience, not just experience. Biden making a buck off the government dime for more than half his lifetime isn't the kind of experience needed as commander in chief.

    Our allies and their families were killed. One of the fatalities was a US interpreter. I guess you're okay with killing our allies? I haven't met anyone that's okay with that position. I can even fathom how it's a partisan criticism. The only reason you guys want to cry "partisan" is cause you have no defense of what is happening in Afghanistan right now. None. You elected Biden, he botched the withdrawal, and now it's become a catastrophic event. The fact is that Biden isn't being criticized enough for his actions in Afghanistan. No amount of shots taken at Biden is enough to make up for the fact that the media should be nuking him right now - just like they 'd do Trump under similar circumstances.

    I despise drone strikes, unless there are boots on the ground who have eyes on the target and can verify that there are no innocents in the kill radius of the explosion. If we are not involved in a conflict enough to have someone painting the target with a laser and ensuring that we are hitting the right target, then no drone strikes should occur. The advent of the drone has made our leaders think it is just fine to execute people from a distance because it keeps us from being involved with boots on the ground. It has made them to eager to kill indiscriminately, without caring if they target a wedding, a car full of children or whatever. They don't have to see the aftermath of their decision.

    War should be up close and personal, and horrific. Or else our leaders will be too eager to kill in a way that lets them sleep easily at night.

    Not even close. I have a long history of being against drone strikes when civilians are at risk.. I never supported the wars in Iraq nor Afghanistan not Syria or Libya for that matter

    Stop projecting your bullshit and childish thoughts onto others.

    More partisan hackery. You conveniently left out the fact that the secondary explosion killed these bystanders and skip over the suicide bombers who were killed loading explosives into a car. Absolutely vile hypocrisy on your part.

    It's too bad for your partisan political agenda that the media is relatively restrained. Of course, all the right wing talking heads and propaganda outlets are doing what they do: spew propaganda with little or no facts. Luckily, after 4 years of Dirty Donnie, the majority don't believe them anymore.

    It's too bad that Biden got stuck with this no-win situation. He and his administration will take their lumps and continue to respond responsibly and openly.
    And we will continue to respond with the stark contrast with the last inept, incompetent administration headed by your icon Dirty Donnie.

    The people on the ground say you wrong about the secondary explosion and dead terrorists. Nine members of one allied family was killed and relatives. A local reporter says they were not ISIS-K. I guess local Afghan reporters are right wing propagandists? You're straight-up brainwashed bro.

    Then you can explain how Fox News and the BBC hold the top positions for viewers beating out every leftist cable news networks while CNNs ratings are lower than the cartoon channel and Nickelodeon. Or are those CNN blinders bolted on the side of your head?

    You do continue to confirm how inept you think Biden really is, When you can't find a positive thing to post about Biden and choose to hide behind Trumps skirt its very telling.

    But I can tell you what 80% of Americans and your own leftist media are asking right now.
    1. What idiot would evacuate our only air support base 30 days prior to evacuating our American civilians
    2. What idiot would wait until the Taliban occupied the city of Kabul before evacuating
    3. What idiot would order an evacuation during an enemy occupation with American citizens being left behind and go on vacation for 5 days
    4. What idiot would leave 85 billion in US weapons to our enemy

    So please continue with your Trumpisums as we all know, its all ya got.

    I agree, it is a matter of principle rather than partisan politics. Too often, leaders use the act of bombing to appease the media, to stop the flow of bad news. This case of the two drone strikes in the last week has this very familiar bad smell to it.

    The other problem with drone assassinations is not only from a moral point of view. Currently, we are the only ones using drone assassinations (aside from Israel, and how well is it working for them to achieve peace and security?). It won't stay that way. When China will start killing their "targets" abroad, we won't like it. But, what can we say? We made the practice fashionable, so we will have no moral authority to blame other countries when they will do it.

    Countries are already launching Drone strikes. The media just isn't reporting all the events.

    Anyone gonna a story about those buses of American women taken by the Taliban at the Gate? There's tons of awful reports coming out right now, but you can only find them on social media from either local Afghan reporters or independent journalists. Something big might be going down in Afghanistan right now.

    It's one thing to have collateral damage when you actually get your target.

    This is something else.

    I don't expect you to be willing to acknowledge the difference.

    I bet. As long as it is small countries using them in regional conflicts, we don't care. Just wait until China and Russia start using them regularly, in the 1000s per year as we do (actually, 1,400 per year on average between 2010 and 2020). For most of these strikes, the public hears nothing about them, even if there is collateral damage. We are mostly shielded from the damage that we incur abroad.

    I would say it is part of the human experience. Republican or Democrat do not change the face of war my friend try to think that there is something greater than politics.
