    So there we have it. To protect Al Queda and ISIS from the Russian bombs, the media has to make up lies about civilians being killed in Syria. While in Afghanistan US planes bomb a hospital for one hour, killing at least nine doctors and then cover it up in their usual way by referring to it as collateral damage.


    A hospital in the Afghan city of Kunduz has been hit and partially destroyed in an overnight “aerial attack” that killed at least nine Medecins Sans Frontieres staff. NATO has admitted a US airstrike may have caused accidental “collateral damage.”

    Democracy at it's peak there. More bombs = more democracy, and if you don't like democracy... you better run, and fast.

    Hospitals in war zones usually go to great lengths to make sure all participants know exactly where they are. This might be a case of criminal negligence.

    I agree. Obama is a war criminal.

    If Obama will kill an innocent child because of things his father said. Why not a hospital?
    If Obama will kill entire innocent wedding party, why not a hospital?
    But if Russia did this the lefties would be so angry.
    But it's Obama and oh well.

    The Americans invented the term "collateral damage". I think it means "tough luck".

    Three were babies. I'm sure their surviving family members would never consider taking up arms against America after we slaughtered their babies. Thanks Obama.

    Criticizing Obama's conduct of the war is racist.

    Any criticism of Obama is racist.

    Why do you people hate blacks?

    ISIS grows larger because of these accidents, and you have to be dumb if you don't realize it. So either there are very dumb people who run this war, or they do it on purpose. When the beast will be large enough, let's see what happens then. Maybe bombs won't be enough anymore and we'll use nukes?

    Nothing to see here. Now, if a poor American (or Jew) stubbed his toe in the Middle east, they'll be talking about it for weeks to come.

    Remember this is the same Obama's war policies that said there were zero innocent killed by drone strikes. When the CIA's own documents proved this was a lie.

    It's standard operating procedure for Taliban and Islamic terrorists to fight from hospitals, schools, mosques and other places that uses civilian status to shield themselves.

    The doctors killed were fools, treating morally debased people (a good many of them terrorists) in a war zone where the enemy does not follow civilized rules of war.

    Stupid is as stupid does.

    Looks like someone's butthurt that Afghanistan will become a burial ground for Americans, as was the case in Iraq.

    Yet liberal don't say that about the mass shooting.
    Is it there is nothing we can do about innocent being murdered when Obama does it? Is that what is meant here? Just curious.

    This was not collateral damage. This was a major (*)(*)(*)(*)-up.

    From CNN:

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The global charity expressed shock, saying it had told all warring parties the exact location of the trauma center, including most recently on Tuesday.

    The charity, which had said the facility had been caring for hundreds already hurt in days of fighting, also said that it had alerted U.S. and Afghan military officials of Saturday's attack, but that the attacks continued.

    "The bombing continued for more than 30 minutes after American and Afghan military officials in Kabul and Washington were first informed," the charity, known internationally as Medecins Sans Frontieres, said. "MSF urgently seeks clarity on exactly what took place and how this terrible event could have happened."

    Hm a little difference between 9/11 and incorrect airstrike that terrorists tried to kill as many innocent people as they can. I am sick from US actions but I doubt that its soldiers tried to kill civilians...

    Although wrong, killing civilians is their only option when it comes to war. What do you expect some guys riding on camels to do against battleships?

    One thing that has happened since and during Vietnam is we and the world has tried to clean up war. In other words especially the USA it wants to fight wars by the Marquis of Queensbury rule. In other words only kill the bad guys and somehow avoid all civilian casualties. I suppose this all sounds very good.

    But we could have never won WWII abiding by these rules. What this has lead to is it makes it much to easy to go to war. Instead of think long and hard, it has become a relative simple thing. But what it does when one is facing a foe who fights to win by whatever means it takes to win, it puts the good old USA at a great disadvantage. The enemy can hide among the civilian populace and we won't bomb them afraid of killing civilians. They can hide in Mosques and other building and again, we will let them be. But they have no such hindrances when it comes to attacking us.

    I think also all these rules we abide by also lengthens any war or conflict. It drags them out and in the long run more civilians and innocents gets killed and maimed than if we just went in and won the dang thing in the shortest period of time available. Then too see the ravages of for example, carpet bombing a city to destroy the enemy would make going to war again that much harder.

    When war becomes more or less a video game, it is so easy to commit to war. When the civilian populace in the United States goes about their normal business like there is no war at all, it makes it easier to commit to war. In my opinion there should be no war unless congress declares it. A declared war would put the whole of the U.S. on a war footing to include the civilian population of the United States. Make them a participant instead of video game watching, instead of living their lives like nothing is happening and the U.S. is not at war.

    The last time the U.S. declared war was back in December of 1941. Every war or conflict we have been involved in since then has either been by a resolution of congress or none at all. By presidential decree. War is ugly and harsh, death, destruction reign. Trying to make war into a gentleman's sporting even only means we will be at all every day of the week and every week of the year.

    The time to go to war is only as a last resort and only when necessary. Then go in and win the dang thing as quickly as possible with whatever means needed and get it over with and come back home. This prolonging the suffering of millions of people, the continuing death and injuries by fighting a supposedly gentleman's war is asinine.

    Yet the media blasted lies all over the place about civilians being killed by Russian bombs. I feel bad for the innocents killed in Afghanistan, but Washington deserves having their lies fall back on them.

    well I do not know is it truth or not about civilians killed by our airforces. It can be truth...

    But I agree with you - it is old US tradition to blame the others in their own sins...

    or it might be the typical case of the terrorists taking over the building next door to it knowing they are a hospital and off the bombing target list... or quite often they will take over entire floors of a hospital, allowing them to treat people but force them to treat terrorists first... meanwhile nobody will bomb that building because civilians will be killed and they'll have to take the shame for bombing it... its classic war zone strategy employed by african warlords for decades and now terrorists around the world... surround yourself with the innocent and the weak armies of the UN will cease operations on you... thats a classic strategy... just now folks have smarter bombs and try them anyhow, but this is still a reality... in vietnam, world wars, buildings would paint the big red cross on top in hopes people would not bomb... unfortunately the enemies began planting officers and staff in those buildings of protection... all bets were off...
