"Missiles are shit, innacurate weapons"

I would invite you to watch this video discussing the technology beyond one of the US's old ICBMs. It could accurately strike from across the world, with no external reference, after being held in a silo for a long time. Obviously these aren't the same missiles being used here, but it's a good demonstration of the level of technology that the US defense industry can create.

I don't think it's fair to say that we can't build an accurate missile.

Also, there have been reports of multiple strikes on the same location (to kill first responders responding to the first strike) - If this was down to random chance, the odds of hitting the same "incorrect" target twice are extremely slim.

I think it's pretty clear that the US has extremely capable weapons technology, and that this is entirely intentional.

Hey, you made a decent comment and referenced a video. Not sure if you forgot the link or if it somehow got lost between our instances/clients. I'd be interested in the video though
