The U.S. carried out the strike on August 29 in reaction to the bombing of U.S. service members at the Kabul airport.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the administration claimed it had destroyed a vehicle with ISIS-K terrorists inside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI offer my condolences to the family and friends of those killed. This strike was taken in the earnest belief that it would prevent an imminent threat to forces at the airport. It was a mistake and I offer my sincere apology. As a commander, I\u2019m fully responsible for this strike and its tragic outcome,\u201d McKenzie told reporters in a Friday press conference. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/30\/centcom-drone-strike-afghanistan-kabul-isis-k-taliban-civilians-reports\/\">(RELATED:&nbsp;CENTCOM Says It\u2019s \u2018Unclear What May Have Happened\u2019 In Kabul Drone Strike That Reportedly Killed Civilians)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>McKenzie said he doesn\u2019t anticipate any disciplinary action as a result of the botched strike.<\/p>\n<h2>Biden\u2019s Boosters Get Shut Down:<\/h2>\n<p>The next piece of bad news for Biden came from within his own administration, as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rejected Pfizer\u2019s vaccine booster for Americans 16 and older.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"8.0847457627119\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 FDA advisory panel soundly rejects a plan to offer Pfizer booster shots against COVID-19 to most Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZekeJMiller\/status\/1438949152222760966?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 17, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden and other White House officials had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/09\/17\/covid-booster-shots-fda-meeting-puts-bidens-plan-to-combat-virus-at-risk.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">already expressed their support<\/a> for getting booster shots in August.

France had already negotiated a $65 billion deal to sell diesel submarines to Australia, a plan Australia has now dropped in favor of the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian called the move \u201cunacceptable behavior\u201d and recalled the nation\u2019s ambassadors from both the U.S. and Australia.
