Carlson and Murray Breakdown Why Nobody is Being Held Accountable for the Botched Afghan Drone Strike That Killed 10 Civilians

In the wake of the U.S. military’s admission that it did in fact carry out a drone strike last month in Kabul which resulted in the tragic deaths of 10 Afghan civilians, 7 of them children, many are wondering why no one has been held accountable for the deadly misstep.

Yesterday, during his nightly television segment, Tucker Carlson excoriated Pentagon leaders for repeatedly failing to collect sound intelligence in matters which affect our country’s national security and standing in the world, but for also failing to discipline incompetent generals like Mark Milley and Kenneth McKenzie, who together have overseen more botched operations than successful ones.

Responding to a statement made by Milley earlier this month where he claimed that the U.S. military – in its bungled drone strike – had acted on “very good intelligence”, Carlson said: “Likely the same kind of intelligence that led us to believe that German-educated Saudi’s would never fly airplanes into the World Trade Centers, or the Pentagon, or a field in Pennsylvania… The intelligence that told us that it was fine to give up Bagram Air Base because Kabul was ‘safe’. The government would stand – that intelligence.”

Carlson then slammed the Pentagon for failing to fire Milley over the drone strike, saying: “If [they were] to fire Mark Milley for killing a bunch of kids unintentionally and then lying about it maybe the accountability chain will start. Maybe they’ll want to fire whoever hundreds of American citizens behind in Afghanistan and lied about that.”
