Assuming you're correct, how does killing women and children on the other side of the planet address this?

Killing the targets addresses it, but like any airstrike, collateral damage happens.

Big so what.
Does that theory work only when it's swarthy skinned people being killed?

You've gotta be kidding me!

By whom? And if you say the US, why? ISIS is over there. Not here.

It's really difficult to take the war mongers seriously any longer. It's too bad that the repercussions of doing that is so much death, destruction and waste.

I'm generalizing here as it's not something you can blanket all on but it seems so many that argue we need to waste trillions killing people that did nothing to us also argue we can't afford to help those who need medical treatment here.

It's obvious where their loyalty lies.
You said it far better than I ever could.

What target? For all you know, they didn't manage to kill a single member of ISIS.

Oh, we are at war? I practically forgot over the last 8 years. I hope the report is false. Poor Iraq.

No, I'm not kidding. The article was poorly written, and completely lacked any credible evidence, I would have sworn it was written by CNN, WaPo, or the NYT.

There seems to be a lack of reporting by msm about all the deaths caused the Obama administration.

It's kind of like how all the anti-war protests stopped as soon as Obama get into office.

There's nothing wrong with the story. You just don't want these things brought to light.

Isis and Al Qaeda surrounds themselves with sympathetic "civilians" to kill civilians everywhere else, ISIS and Al Qaeda are all scum and need to be decimated. Were people opposed to all the drone strikes by obama?

https://www.thebureauinvestigates.co...ikes-than-bush

"There were ten times more air strikes in the covert war on terror during President Barack Obama’s presidency than under his predecessor, George W. Bush.

Obama embraced the US drone programme, overseeing more strikes in his first year than Bush carried out during his entire presidency. A total of 563 strikes, largely by drones, targeted Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen during Obama’s two terms, compared to 57 strikes under Bush."

Great Britain, France, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Canada are all part of the "US led coallition" fighting ISIS, so why do you say "they are over there, not over here" when it could have been any one of these countries?

Fox News did not say who launched the air strike, they simply said "US led coallition".
