…..The car that was hit with a drone strike in Kabul was still in one piece?

We were told the car was loaded with explosives; that secondary explosions proved it was a car bomb. And yet, it was just a burned out car, still in one piece.

I was expecting a crater in the street and bits and pieces of twisted metal.

Peace to you

Depends on the layout of the explosives. The blast is like water - takes the path of least resistance.

We stacked up two crates if c4, primed one block in each crate. Big explosion.....no damage. (We were getting rid of the c4.....couldn't turn back in).

A car bomb is designed to do a lot of damage. I haven’t seen a lot, but what I’ve seen it is a lot more than a burned out frame.

It depends on the effect of the drone and surrounding.

Consider the truck bomb in Nashville. It was on 2nd Avenue (took out one of my favorite restaurants). Buildings close on both sides (demolished). But no creater.

When we blew a crater in a road we would use a shape charge and a createring charge. The blast is directed.

Thanks for the photo. Absolutely no comparison to the photos of the car. You can’t even discern a frame in your photo, couldn’t anyway.

Im just saying it’s seems odd to me to have a claim of secondary explosions and still have an intact car frame. It’s just burnt out. I’ve seen just as bad on the highway with accidents.

I’m not claiming to be an expert. Maybe someone else knows better.

Sorry about the restaurant. If I remember right, only the bomber died. Could have been much worse.

Yea, the bomber warned people to leave and chose a time when the streets would not be busy. He apparently was not trying to kill others.

I've seen that burnt out car pic labeled as the one destroyed by US action, and as one in which a rocket misfire caused the destruction, without any external attack. The latter description seems more logical.

Interesting. Why a rocket misfire? Because it was simply burned out, the the metal frame was intact? That makes sense.

There's no telling who the schlub was that was killed. The Biden administration just needed to kill someone to show how tough they are and take the focus off their incompetence.

I hope not. I keep waiting for a video release of the car, empty, with a big “X” on top.

They won’t give the names of the people killed. They won’t show the drone footage as it struck the car.

I really do hope this wasn’t staged.

Maybe due to clumsy handling that damaged something important? I'm not familiar with weaponry beyond my .30-06 deer rifle so I don't have any idea how sensitive those rockets are.

Just saw a reference to a report on Fox News Sunday that this was not a car bomb destroyed by a drone. It is believed this was a car with refugees attempting to get to the airport. Worse yet, as many as 7 children were killed along with some adults.

How could this happen? Do you think the Taliban fed the US false info about the car in order once again make the US look bad?

So very sad. And it looks like the President is refusing to talk about Afghanistan any more.

We may never know the truth.

Maybe he could talk about this:

US debt hits the wall, & will face a September 30th payments deadline they cannot meet. Since there is a two-week grace period after the U.S. Corporation defaults, this means a repeat of the February 16th, 2020 market implosion is due on or around October 14th. That is why U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is publicly warning the U.S. will default on its national debt in October, MI6 sources say. Yellen: US on track to default on national debt in October

This is also why “Biden,” called Chinese President Xi Jinping last week. When he failed to get promises for new funding, his boss, Angela Hitler called and was also told the money would only come if she vowed total obedience to China, Asian Secret Society sources say. Here is how China’s official Global Times mouthpiece bragged about the conversation:

“The first phone conversation between the two leaders in seven months amid escalating tensions…which took place at the U.S.’ request, highlighted Washington’s growing anxiety and need for China’s cooperation on key global issues.”

China told “Biden,” the “U.S. should take actions to respect China’s basic interests, discard illusions of suppressing China,” and Xi Jinping “called on Washington to shoulder responsibilities to direct the ties back on the right track,” plus “the U.S. should take more action in correcting previous wrong deeds and respecting China’s basic interests, and not expecting China to cooperate while keeping it as an adversary.” It also noted “the Biden administration is facing huge pressure domestically” so it must not “challenge, slander or even attempt to subvert the path and system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.”

The Global Times further noted that “Hours after the Xi-Biden call, Xi also spoke to German Chancellor Angela Merkel” and ordered her “to urge the EU to adhere to the right policies on China.” Xi-Biden phone call positive sign amid fraught ties; signals growing US anxiety to seek China’s help - Global Times

Back to the ‘not talking about Afghanistan’ I saw this……Biden has profited from giving everything there away……..

Just saw today at the hearing, SOS Blinkin said the incident is still under review and he couldn’t comment on it.

My question: If they can’t comment, why did they put out a statement claiming it was a car bomb and ISISK terrorists that were killed?

The latest info from the hearing is the car held an aide worker and 7 children trying to get to the airport.

peace to you

Pentagon admitted today the strike killed no ISSAK terrorists, but 10 civilians, including 7 children died.

Amazingly, the general explaining this debacle claimed two other attacked were “thwarted”, but those were done in silence.

He would not answer whether it was a failure of intelligence or failure of leadership that led to these deaths.

I think it’s a failure to have intelligent leaders.

Absolutely shameful.

peace to you

General Westmoreland, from our time in Vietnam, "There's light at the end of the tunnel."

"In late 1967, with Americans starting to question the war in Vietnam, General William Westmoreland, the military commander in Vietnam, was touring America to help garner more support for the war. In one of his stops he said he saw, "the light at the end of the tunnel.""
