I think there was one other President not in attendance. I hope this meets the moderators superior approval.

Setting the scene - in the situation room, staring at a green tinted drone liveview, " tell the driver to blow up those kids over there, that'll teach 'em"

Sadly, I can imagine one of our commander-in-chiefs doing that, but it's not the current one.

Interesting spin. Only problem is that the current one did indeed do just that.

Killing a few will take our mind off the terrible job of leaving Afghanistan and turning everything over to the current Taliban leaders/murders.

It was mentioned in the video report from the Times I saw on this. They did seem to do a thorough job, including having the blast site analyzed by 'experts' in such things indicating that there was no large secondary explosion. Saw something this morning that the military is investigating.

Died from friendly fire? Say it isn't so. Like that has never happened before. Not giving anyone an out on the responsibility but this is not a unheard of disaster.
