US Kills 9 Civilians In Successful Mission

It's good news this was a successful mission and won't radicalize anyone else at all.

I cannot wait to hear how Q explains this wasn't biden and was actually trump who is still running our country.

Aside from that our military says we killed some extremely bad people who they cannot tell us anything about because national security. So I guess this was where the pictures from epstein island and the wikileaks servers were?

Warning to @Bailey for providing Dayton with hours of fap material.

(Oh, wait. He's banned.)

don't we get a pass for the guy blowing himself up? Sure we gave him motivation but he pulled the trigger.

The leader of IS was killed? Way to bury the headline, dude.

Besides, you're acting like this guy was just minding his own business until American forces showed up looking to kill some civilians. That doesn't seem to be the case.

Where's there "IS is radicalizing civilians by killing more than 120 people" thread?

Yeah, it seems weird to blame the US if the guy intentionally blew up his own family while resisting arrest.

Almost like blaming the US was the whole point of the thread.

Sweet.

Shouldn't the thread title say "ISIS Leader kills self and up to nine civilians"?

No. The US is always wrong, always the bad guy.

well yeah. we caused IS.

Mods, please rename this thread Terrorist Leader Successfully Blows Up Self and Family.

I don't know if I like this news source yet, but this sums it up nicely [bolding mine]:

This feels like what the Foxnews headline would be because they’re grumpy Biden did something good

All I did was share the article.

Group hug.

Nah, you editorialized as well. It just didn't go the way you'd hoped.

I'm going to point everyone to post 681 in this thread. It's the thread about the US pulling out of Afghanistan, and that post is @14thDoctor making mocking comments about a US drone strike during the evacuation. The article he links to has changed since he made the post because as we later discovered, the guy we droned was fucking innocent. The US military launched an investigation and discovered that while we did, indeed, kill an innocent man and his family, all the "right" protocols were followed, so nobody's going to be punished for the fact that we killed some innocent people due to bad intel.

Shit fire, folks, do you not grasp how, even if the US gave an honest accounting of what happened in this current incident, people might be a little suspect of that? We don't exactly have a good track record of being honest at times, and even when we do admit that we've fucked up, people often aren't punished for their actions.

Just quote it if you want people to see it, Christ. Lazy ass.

No, I'm not going to quote a shitload of posts from that thread. Because what matters is the fact that perspectives changed as more information became available. The initial reports of the US droning a suicide bomber before he could kill people and the responses to that are one thing, the reactions once it became known that the US fucked up are another, and I'm not going to pick and choose since I'm sure (what with this being WF and all) that at least one assgasket will claim that I'm taking their comments out of context.

You just took my comments out of context

Dude didn't even wait for information about who killed the civilians or how. He just saw an article that mentioned civilian deaths somewhere in the proximity of a US military operation and posted some bullshit about radicalization. It was cheap and sloppy and it deserves to be called out.

You mean like you did in the post I referenced? You know, how the US military claimed that they'd taken out a potential suicide bomber before he managed to kill folks trying to flee Afghanistan, only for it to later be discovered that he was just a poor schmuck trying to help folks and the US military got it wrong and killed him with a drone strike.

So Biden screwed up and we did kill civilians?

Why not read the thread and find out?

We may have killed civilians, so Biden may have screwed up.

But that’s the thing, aren’t there conflicting reports of whether he blew himself up or we blew them up?

So far I've only seen reports saying that he blew himself up, and reports that mention other people died but not saying how.

As far as I know, there are no conflicting reports.
