As though all the screwups and treasure left to the Tali's, now they send cash



How can they even think of it not ending up in Tali hands ?  or that anyone would be allowed to work within their country to help people?



They STILL have not learned what the Tali's are

A US drone strike the military called 'righteous' mistakenly targeted an aid worker and killed 10 Afghan civilians, including 7 kids, a report says



https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/EaUvuzfpVwF0hTL1v_NofA--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTcwNTtoPTM1Mi41O2NmPXdlYnA-/https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/6u9_Di6FLpRKnTbEWUVFFQ--~B/aD0xMDAwO3c9MjAwMDthcHBpZD15dGFjaHlvbg--/https://media.zenfs.com/en/business_insider_articles_888/1f287df30147b34e93bb40f8b42d87ff">



The US targeted an aid worker with a drone strike in Kabul, mistakenly believe he was an ISIS-K militant preparing for a terror attack, according to a New York Times report. In the process, the August 29 strike killed 10 Afghan civilians, including seven children.



The aid worker, Zemari Ahmadi, was also killed by the 20-pound Hellfire missile fired at his car, per the report.



The US military framed the threat posed by the car as imminent, and defended the drone attack as a "righteous strike." Officials said the military believed the car was being packed with explosives for an attack.



But footage obtained by The New York Times suggests Ahmadi was actually loading the car with water containers for his home.







The Times further alleges while the U.S. military accepts responsibility for collateral damage in the form of three civilians, it was likelier 10 who died, including seven children.



https://thenationalpulse.com/news/joe-biden-committed-a-war-crime-by-drone-striking-civilian-aid-worker-not-isis-evidence-reveals/">A timeline of events pieced together from more than a dozen of the driver's family members as well as colleagues reveals the following:



Mr. Ahmadi had worked as an electrical engineer for Nutrition and Education International, a California-based aid group;

On the morning of the Biden-backed atrocity, Ahmadi's boss called him at 8:45 a.m and asked him to pick up his laptop;

Mr. Ahmadi left at around 9 a.m. in a white Toyota Corolla belonging to his employer.



This is when surveillance began;

An MQ-9 Reaper drone tracked Ahmadi around Kabul, as he picked up breakfast and went to his office;

Around 2:30pm, Ahmadi began filling canisters with water, to distribute them as aid;

Mr. Ahmadi commuted home around 4pm;

As he arrived home at 4:50pm, the U.S. drone fired a Hellfire missile at him, murdering him and his family members.



Shortly after the strike, U.S. military leaders insisted only ISIS combatants had been killed, and that a secondary explosion proved there were explosives in the vehicle. An on-the-ground investigation has now disproven any claims of a secondary explosion, meaning Biden's U.S. military not only committed a war crime, but attempted to cover it up with a lie.



Ahmadi's relatives said 10 members of their family, including seven kids, were killed: Ahmadi and three of his children, Zamir, 20, Faisal, 16, and Farzad, 10; Mr. Ahmadi's cousin Naser, 30; three of Romal's children, Arwin, 7, Benyamin, 6, and Hayat, 2; and two 3-year-old girls, Malika and Somaya.

I wanted the United States out too, but not the way Biden handled it. What a disaster. We haven't even begun to see the consequences of his incompetence.

To confidently threaten an enemy and keep them on the run, you need a dependable and resilient "kill chain"—all the steps and activities necessary from "threat identification to target engagement," as well assessing the results of the strike.



This badly botched strike reminds us of the huge problem the Biden administration now has figuring out what to shoot at.



After the withdrawal, we're more blind on the ground than we were before September 11, 2001.

The Taliban appear to have shut down the women's affairs ministry and replaced it with a department that once enforced strict religious doctrines.



On Friday, the sign at the ministry was removed, and a sign for the ministry of virtue and vice put in its place.



Videos on social media showed women employees outside the offices, urging the Taliban to let them return to work.



During the Taliban rule in the 1990s, the ministry forced strict Islamic rules and harsh restrictions on women.

Sixty percent of Americans now disapprove of Biden's handling of Afghanistan. What's hard to believe is that thirty six percent of Americans actually approve of the way the incompetent oaf handled it.

Multiple lawmakers from both parties "angrily stormed out" of a classified briefing on Afghanistan this week after Biden administration officials failed to answer simple questions about its ongoing evacuation efforts, CNN reported.



Citing three anonymous sources, the network said that both Republican and Democratic members of Congress "grew frustrated" after officials from the State Department, Pentagon, Department of Homeland Security, and Office of the Director of National Security "failed to answer their basic questions."

The Taliban hung a dead body from a crane in the main square of Herat city in western Afghanistan, a witness said Saturday, in a gruesome display that signaled a return to some of the Taliban's methods of the past.



Wazir Ahmad Seddiqi, who runs a pharmacy on the side of the square, told The Associated Press that four bodies were brought to the main square and three bodies were moved to other parts of the city for public display.



Seddiqi said the Taliban announced in the square that the four were caught taking part in a kidnapping and were killed by police.
