john, this was carried out by the cia, not the military. talk about the significance of that to our civilian audience. well, president biden said that the u.s. carried out the strike, he didn t name the organization that he did it. but i must, say having worked with the cia for many years, and including as his director, the cia along with the nsa work very closely on these counterterrorism operations. as well as with the military. and as general mccaffrey said, these platforms the predators, the drones, they are primarily intelligence collection platforms. they collect technical signals, and then there used to carry out these very precise strikes within inches, they are laser guided. over the course of the last 15 years or so, there has been the technology that has been developed on the missiles, the platform selves they really allow these exquisite
