    I hadn't heard that we killed 15 enemy and that they were using the hospital as a human shield. They're trying to spin this as an accident but I don't think so. Clearly we are willing to accept collateral damage in order to kill the enemy.

    US had the information about the coordinates of the hospital. The US is trying to justify himself. Tomorrow they will say that Osama bin Laden was hiding in the hospital....

    USA killed several million people, destroyed 5 countries, arming terrorists, torture people in prison without a trial. Go to hell with your excuses. Civilians in Libya spit on US excuses. These people during the reign of Gaddafi had a high standard of living. Now stupid idiots US brought "the democracy", and these people are forced to flee their country.

    "The U.S. military began backtracking. Army Gen. John Campbell, the coalition's top commander in Afghanistan, admitted that American forces had not been under direct fire. But he said that Afghan forces had asked for air support prior to the bombing. "

    Sounds like an "Afghan official" using the tried and true CYA strategy.

    US wants oil and to control the planet. All US politicians are the same and in this time the people of USA do not care about peoples in other countries. To bomb Libya, Syria, Iraq? Yes! That's cool! We are the best and the strongest on the planet! Bomb them!

    The crew of that gunship need at least to lose their jobs and never ever try do something like that again. What a shame for the whole democratic west, when in order to kill terrorists, we kill harmless people as well.

    When MSF had repeatedly informed the US forces of the GPS co-ordinates of their facility there can be no excuse of 'fog of war'. America knew exactly where the hospital was.

    Are you saying that Joe McCarthy was right?

    When Arabs conduct attacks on Civilians, its Terrorism.
    When Americans kill unarmed Civilians, its Collateral Damage.

    Americans will probably just pay some money to the families, and consider that settled. This type of thing actually happens a lot more than we think. There was also that bombing of a Wedding in Yemen, killing 130 people, of the American - Saudi coalition.

    Arabs do Torture, Americans do "Enhanced Interrogation"

    Start a new thread in History section if you want to talk about Soviet -Russian atrocities. This is not the place to discuss the subject.

    Reports say , US military were informed ahead of time about the location of the hospital. And no terrorist targets were reported killed. All those killed were Staff and patients.
