    Terrorists are not guys on camels. They cover their activity by civilians... Another point for discussion where from do these terrorists come from....

    Ever guessed that the doctors were threatened and forced to do that? So are we killing both innocents and guilty? And you are saying they are not following war' s rules, but you regularly kill innocents and say " ops (*)(*)(*)(*) happens ".

    Bad for the US propaganda machine. They've just started promoting the story about evil Russian airstrikes in Syria... and this is it.

    The hospital confirmed it has repeatedly provided its coordinates to both sides. A UN official says the attack may amount to a War Crime.

    At least the Doctors w/o borders doctors who were killed ALL volunteered to go to these Islamic war zones.

    Islamic radicals and terrorists do not follow the Geneva Convention, and have not respect for civilized rules of war. Such scumbags should always, always, always be killed or finished-off if captured or wounded.

    If they want to play nice, then they should start fighting by rules. They should all be in uniforms with rank and serial numbers. They should never deliberately operate or base themselves shielded by civilians.

    But Islamic radicals are untrustworthy savages, so they only respect and understand force. If I were running the war against these terrorists, Taliban, ISIS, etc. I would demand that in their territories, every village, every leader and elder fly the flag of the legitimate government next to their house and make a public speech demanding everyone support the government. Those that don't are killed on the spot. Those who allow their flags to be taken down or lost are likewise hunted down and executed.

    That's just you supporting to go and commit war crimes.


    America isn't trustworthy at all. With it's we spread democracy and stand for justice. They intrude on the privacy of everybody, spy on friendly countries to manipulate them, torture around people who never get a trial, while support massacring dictatorships and terrorism when it's good for their own economy.

    We are creating as many new terrorists as we are killing old ones at this point. Tragic error in this case. Thinking that we can just bomb our way to having friends is even more tragic and more erroneous.

    That post reminded me of this CNN article:

    http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/12/07/afghanistan.graveyard/

    With that in mind, and with the abject failure of Russia in more recent times as proof positive of the subject question, what sort of politician (other than one who wants to prove he can achieve something which another country couldn't ?) would think it might be a good idea to turn history around and, using the guise of 'bringing democracy to an uncivilized bunch of barbarians' be possessed of the chutzpah to actually believe he’d be able to? Hold that thought!

    At the risk of irritating some of you, part of the dialogue at the beginning of Bitter Lake states that 'the West has become a dangerous and destructive force in the world . . . '. Who could dispute that?

    That's American freedom and democracy for you. War crimes in the making.

    Remember when the obama admin was was “appalled” by the “disgraceful” Israeli shelling of a school in Gaza (turned out to be an ammo dump)....?

    Remember when they said it was “totally unacceptable and “totally indefensible.”

    Remember when they said "it is clear that we need our allies in Israel to do more to live up to the high standards that they have set for themselves.”

    Well, the US is nowadays as much a war criminal as Israel, so invoking Obama is liking preaching to the Devil.

    If the enemy is conducting operations out of or around it then they are the war criminals and responsible for the results. This as not a shifting line it was been a known area of combat, anyone who chooses to remaining the area does so at their own risk.

    I don't recall NYC being a combat zone nor US military forces engaged in combat operations out of or near the WTC.

    - - - Updated - - -

    And I bet they were told repeatedly it was a war zone and more specifically a combat zone and their safety could not be guarantied.

    Both sides would be war criminals. Using cover of a red cross/crescent is a war crime. Targeting a hospital is a war crime.

    Nope, if the enemy is operationg there the area is a combat zone and war is not perfect. The people working in the hospital knew they were in an active combat zone and took the risk.

    Oh well NATO - per alleged " incorrect coordinates" for an enemy buildingdropped 5 bombs in 1999 on the Chinese embassy in Belgrade killing 3 people . The CIA was supposedly targeting an enemy building and entered in incorrect coordinates.

    So it is possible to justify anything. All Afghanistan - a combat zone. The people living in Afghanistan have to be ready - to receive any minute the American bomb on their head.
