The move by U.S. officials comes after the slain man’s family and others who knew him claimed that the father of 10, a former bricklayer, had no ties to terrorism and was tending to his sheep when he was hit by a Hellfire missile in Syria.
U.S. officials claimed shortly after the strike that the Predator drone had taken out a “senior Al Qaeda leader” — even though they did not provide proof or name the suspect.
The Washington Post reported that 56-year-old Lotfi Hassan Misto was the person killed in the strike.
“We are no longer confident we killed a senior AQ official,” a U.S. official told the Post.
Another U.S. official added, “though we believe the strike did not kill the original target, we believe the person to be al-Qaeda.”
Wow, this is the closest thing I've seen to 'life is a satire of itself' in action.
A hellfire missile onto a single guy tending to his sheep with zero ties to anything...and they even decided to just lie and pretend he was someone important?
Why are they so inept? It is a fucking SHEEP HERDER. It isn't like he was near the target and collateral damage, they picked him out, aimed for him and threw millions of dollars of hardware to kill him and his sheep.
They're desperately searching for a win they can flaunt and it's to try and help Biden, much like with the stupid 'chinese surveillance balloons'. I don't believe for a second they were actually from China I think they sortied out Jets for a bogus mission so Biden could look like a tough guy that doesn't fuck around when it comes to foreign policy to comfort the normies. This is just another in the list of catastrophic fuck ups the Biden administration has committed.
It's not ineptitude (except for the coverup). Go read Fahrenheit 451... this poor guy has probably had a Predator looking at him waiting for his sudden promotion to a leadership position...

Ah, so it is Obama's third term, we were all correct.

And people wonder why 9/11 happened

Just like when he drone bombed that aid worker and 7 children. The noose is too good for that war criminal.

This is how you make future terrorists.
