Mark Milley made a flurry of false statements about a U.S. drone strike in Kabul that killed 10 innocent people, including seven children.<\/p>\n<p>Milley made the comments in the space of one minute during a September 1 press conference alongside Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. A reporter pressed Milley on whether U.S. forces had gone through all the proper checks before carrying out the strike.<\/p>\n<h2>WATCH:<\/h2>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WATCH LIVE: Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen.

We monitored that through various means and all of the engagement criteria were being met. We went through the same level of rigor that we\u2019ve done for years and we took a strike,\u201d Milley said. <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<p>In fact, the vehicle in question did not meet U.S. engagement criteria, as it was being driven by an Afghan man who worked for a U.S. humanitarian organization, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/09\/10\/world\/asia\/us-air-strike-drone-kabul-afghanistan-isis.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reporting from The New York Times<\/a>. The U.S. had some intelligence indicating that a white Toyota Corolla would be used in an attack at the U.S. airport. After monitoring the wrong white Toyota Corolla for roughly eight hours, the U.S. carried out the strike.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\" readability=\"38.286052009456\">\n<p>\u201cClearly our intelligence was wrong on this particular white Toyota Corolla,\u201d Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the head of U.S. Central Command, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wcnc.com\/article\/news\/nation-world\/pentagon-kabul-drone-strike-kills-civilians\/507-c2191c01-847c-42b9-87d0-184bd4a47347\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">admitted to reporters Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. forces also did not apply the \u201csame level of rigor\u201d in the incident as other drone strikes. While McKinzie insisted Friday that the process hadn\u2019t been rushed, he admitted that the U.S. carried out the strike under \u201cextreme time pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cSecondly is we know that there was secondary explosions,\u201d Milley continued. \u201cBecause there was secondary explosions, there\u2019s a reasonable conclusion to be made that there was explosives in that vehicle. The third thing, as we know from a variety of other means, that at least one of those people that were killed was an ISIS facilitator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, none of the people killed were members of, or affiliated with, ISIS-K.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo were there others killed? Yes, there are others killed. Who they are, we don\u2019t know. We\u2019ll try to sort through all of that. But we believe that the procedures at this point \u2014 I don\u2019t want to influence the outcome of an investigation \u2014 but at this point, we think that the procedures were correctly followed and it was a righteous strike,\u201d Milley finished.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, U.S. forces did not follow the procedures with the same level of rigor as other drone strikes, which are carried out without \u201cextreme time pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen.
