Pentagon admits Kabul drone strike 'tragic mistake' after killing 10 civilians...

Old Trapper said:
Sorry. I thought you had said you were against all drone strikes. Guess it is only the sig type. Then too, you make an exception for using them for "high value" targets. So, what is not "high value" about ISIS-K terrorists?

no prob. yes only the sig,
because of poor intelligence being used as actionable intelligence - killing far too many innocents

The nature of a sig strike means the identity of the target is unknown or not confirmed
The target is at their (signature) behavior

a 'high value' target would be a confirmed identity -to call it high value one has to ID it.

Internationl law would have him still attacking Israel thru Syria with the Quds,
as well as funding and supporting Hezbollah.

He acted as an enemy combatant high value target. He was mid-east most important interlocutor

It's not like you can bring him to trial; so "law" isnt effective + international law is 2nd to national security.
Every POTUS has made that priority.

It was an needed call and the world and we are better off with him gone.
I cant remember but knowing Biden he probably opposed taking him out

Use all of the excuses you want to justify the actions of your gawd, however, he was not an imminent threat to the US.

In other words, you have not a clue as usual:

"High-value target

In United States military terminology, a High-Value Target is a target that an enemy commander requires for completion of a mission. The term has been widely used in the media for Osama Bin Laden and high-ranking officers of Al-Qaeda who are considered essential to the completion of enemy operations. Soldiers are often asked to do all that is possible to capture a HVT alive but, if that is impossible, they are given clearance to fire. Various tasked Joint Special Operations Task Forces have been established for the main purposes of killing or capturing these High Value Targets. Forces assigned to these tasked forces include units mainly from the Joint Special Operations Command such as the US Army Delta Force, US Navy SEAL Team Six, US Army 75th Ranger Regiment and elements of the British Army's SAS. The term has also become associated with secret US DoD programs to capture and interrogate terrorist leaders. HVT language also applies in many other contexts, including the potential targeting of weapons of mass destruction."

He was a CONTINUING threat. In the past an in the future.
You are such a Bidenesque fool. Biden drones kids and opposes an actual known threat.
He was a designated terrorist. then he makes goofy statements about causing a war with Iran

Biden opposed killing Soleimani.
https://www.logically.ai/factchecks/library/7f005499

he day Soleimani died, Joe Biden tweeted that Soleimani deserved to be brought to justice for his crimes against American troops and thousands of innocents throughout the region. However, he reprimanded the Trump administration, echoing similar fears as other politicians that it could trigger a full-fledged war between the two nations. Calling it an 'escalatory move in an already dangerous region', Biden said that although the administration says its goal is to deter future attacks from Iran, this action almost certainly will have an opposite effect.

unsourced trash. It even says though "kill them if the cant be captured"

Soleimani wasn't going to be captured, nor Baghdadi. Do you want to try to capture Yemen AQAP?

strikes, which were carried out in the early morning, targeted fighters from the regional arm of al Qaeda, known as AQAP, their equipment and infrastructure, in the Yemeni provinces of Abyan, al Bayda and Shabwah, according to a press release from the US Department of Defense.

Pentagon Spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said in the statement that the strikes were conducted in partnership with the Government of Yemen, and were coordinated with President Hadi.

~~

the MOAB was use because those fortified cave were used by AQ. bin Laden fled to Pakistan thru Tora Bora
the MOAB was like a giant bunker buster bomb -it destroyed a lot of the caves - no other way to do it short of nukes or dynamite

LOL, more excuses to justify the illegal, and immoral, acts of your gawd. Keep trying. Maybe he will see you, and you can really suck him off instead of using a blow up doll.

Sure I condemned ALL sig strikes.
There was no "triggering a full-fledged war between the two nations." as Biden claimed

Once again showing you lack the ability to actually read:

"that it could trigger a full-fledged war between the two nations."

And he was right.
