Ex-senior official suspects Trump to 'bury horrific' incident that killed children: report

A former senior Pentagon official sounded the alarm on Sunday over their belief that the Trump administration was likely to bury an internal investigation into an incident that coincided with the launch of the U.S. war against Iran, an incident one Democratic lawmaker described as one of the most horrific episodes of the illegal Trump war.
Trumps Operation Epic Fury began with double tap strikes on Shajareh Tayyebeh, an Iranian girls elementary school, which killed at least 156 people, 120 of them children. Trump initially blamed Iran for the strikes before it became clear that a U.S.-made Tomahawk missile was used in the attack.
While the U.S. military is reportedly still investigating the incident, several former Pentagon and national security officials expressed doubt to The Guardian for its report published on Sunday that the results of the investigation would ever be made public.....
The US strike [on the girls elementary school] is one of the most horrific episodes of the entire illegal Trump war in Iran, Ansari said.
Donald Trump is hiding the truth from the American people and Congress, and deflecting blame to Secretary Hegseth, because he does not want the public to know the true horrors of what he unleashed on the Iranian people with absolutely nothing to show for it.

Of course he did. The Pentagon's love affair with unregulated AI made that pretty obvious.

(78,184 posts)3. And where did that A.I. driven targeting information come from?
Good chance it was from Peter Thiels Palantir. The school was located where an Iranian
Military facility USED TO BE there.

(9,053 posts)4. This, in addition to being an accused rapist of at least one minor,
and an accused witness to the disposal of a murdered baby's body in a lake,
and the internment of women and children in concentration camps,
AND the estimated half A MILLION children worldwide who have or will die as a result of Trump's murder of US Aid.
Quite a track record for the maga 'prince of peace' who's proud of his being compared to Hitler and the like.
