WASHINGTON — The Pentagon acknowledged on Friday that a U.S. drone strike in Afghanistan on Aug. 29 that officials said was necessary to prevent an attack on American troops was a tragic mistake that killed 10 civilians, including seven children.
The explosives the military claimed were loaded in the trunk of a white Toyota sedan struck by the drone’s Hellfire missile were most likely water bottles, and a secondary explosion in the courtyard in a densely populated Kabul neighborhood where the attack took place was probably a propane or gas tank, officials said. In short, the car posed no threat at all, investigators concluded.

Can't tell me that a drug priced (for costs + fair profit) at $13.50 per pill could jump over 5000% in a few years in the US. Canadians are willing to sell that EXACT SAME DRUG to AMericans for CHEAP!!
insulin sells in canada about one third the cost here
same drug one third the price ??
maybe its bcuz canadians and best banting were the pioneers in discovering the lifesaving med ?
but some U.S. law is preventing us from importing it here ?????

Kelly is clearly a bot
Why post this news on a Friday? Trying everything they can to bury it. Just like Kelly tries digging up old messages.

You know what would help hundreds of millions of Americans? STOPPING INFLATION ON FOOD AND SERVICES! Not everyone needs prescriptions medicine (some of that is probably addictive to begin with), but EVERYONE needs food.

Specifically, about 1.6 million Americans require daily doses of insulin, which is extremely expensive in the U.S. compared with Canada for the exact same drug.

Biden announces security pact that would deliver nuclear submarines to Australia
The new agreement with Australia and the U.K. comes as the administration ramps up efforts to counter China's rising power.
"This initiative is about making sure that each of us has the most modern capabilities we need to maneuver and defend against rapidly evolving threats," Biden said.
A senior administration official described the pact as “historic,” and said it would increase cooperation among the three nations on military defense, cyber threats and supply chain security in the Indo-Pacific region.
the french r bummed bcuz they had an agreement with australia to sell them traditional non-nuclear submarines
australia broke that agreement saying the french submarine technology is inferior to what the US could offer

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday called images of a U.S. Border Patrol agent on horseback chasing Haitian migrants “horrific,” but declined to say what consequences there should be for his actions.
Psaki was asked repeatedly to comment on "photos of border agents on horseback using what appear to be whips on Haitian migrants" and whether it was appropriate behavior.
"Biden's America" using whips on immigrants? Despicable....

President Biden delivered his debut address to the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations on Tuesday amid strong new doubts about his ability to vault the United States back into a position of global leadership after his predecessor’s promotion of “America First” isolationism.
Speaking to a smaller than usual audience of his peers because of the still-raging Covid-19 pandemic, Mr. Biden called for a new era of global unity against the coronavirus, climate change, emerging technological threats and the expanding influence of autocratic nations such as China and Russia.
“No matter how challenging or how complex the problems we’re going to face, government by and for the people is still the best way to deliver for all of our people,” he said, insisting that the United States and its Western allies would remain vital partners.
“Our security, our prosperity and our very freedoms are interconnected, in my view as never before,” Mr. Biden said.
Calling for the world to make the use of force “our tool of last resort, not our first,” he defended his decision to end the U.S. war in Afghanistan, a chaotic withdrawal of American troops that left allies blindsided.
“Today, many of our greatest concerns cannot be solved or even addressed by the force of arms,” he said. “Bombs and bullets cannot defend against Covid-19 or its future variants.”
But Mr. Biden’s efforts to move America past President Donald J. Trump’s more confrontational policies come amid growing frustration among allies with his administration’s diplomatic approach.

. On Friday afternoon, France even recalled its ambassador, a dramatic escalation in tension between the two allies.
The most immediate reason for France’s displeasure was Australia’s decision to scrap a $66 billion submarine contract in favor of U.S. and U.K. technology. France recalled its ambassador to Australia as well, but officials were especially galled that the U.S. didn’t inform its oldest ally in advance that the deal was in the works.
We sold nuclear powered subs to the Aussie and they canceled the French contracts for the diesel fueled under water systems
The nuclear is quieter and allowed stealth technology. France subs are easier to detect due to the emissions from the principal drive combustion system based.
Really a no brainer for Australia naval concerns.
