"Relatives mourn next to bodies of Iraqi residents of west Mosul killed in an air strike targeting Isis on 17 March 2017 "... it DID happen on trump's watch.
A great terrorist recruiting tool regardless of who was POTUS.
For once I agree with you. It is stuff like this that helps grow resentment and hatred of the US. Reminds me of Henry V...
"I was not angry since I came to France
Until this instant. Take a trumpet, herald.
Ride thou unto the horsemen on yond hill.
If they will fight with us, bid them come down,
Or void the field. They do offend our sight.
If they’ll do neither, we will come to them
And make them skirr away as swift as stones
Enforcèd from the old Assyrian slings.
Besides, we’ll cut the throats of those we have,
And not a man of them that we shall take
Shall taste our mercy. Go and tell them so."
AP: Two bank robbers took 100 people hostages in Las Vegas today when their hold up went bad.
Authorities dropped in tear gas but when the robbers started to return fire it was decided to just blow the bank up killing everyone inside.
Would we go for that? Why should others? Why are we in Iraq after 16 years still?
Yeah because we blow up banks any time there is a hostage situation
Tear gas and returning fire... LMAO so wrong on so many levels...
When tear gas is deployed, unless you have activated charcoal masks that protect the respiratory track and eyes, you aren't returning fire accurately to hit the broad side of a barn...
" A Pentagon investigation has found more than 100 civilians were killed in a US bombing in Mosul, Iraq, in March, making it one of the largest incidents of civilian death since the US air campaign against Isis began in 2014.
The military reports 101 civilians in the building were killed, and another four died in a nearby building. Thirty-six civilians remain unaccounted for. "
No wonder the War on Terror isn't working. We usual kill 100 civilians to kill 10 bad guys. I'd guess we just created 200 new Osama Bin Laden's with one misplaced bomb.
Say whatever you want about the war on terror and ISIS - this kind of thing is beyond a travesty.
And yes - I largely believe that this kind of stuff just fuels the fire for these people. I don't think we'll ever learn.
You see they militarily are inferior, that's why they choose soft target rich environments.
Just like Vietnam you have locals who don't purge these scumbags from their cities towns and villages. So be it. Hide their weapons, build their IEDs etc... then cry foul because a drone strike nailed a civilian...
Logic would tell me, if I value what life I have, to either get out of dodge or deal with these scumbags myself or tell the troops where they and their caches are located so that they can do their job and get out.
But that's me...
Logic would tell me, if you don't want people to fight back or retaliate against you then don't invade and occupy their country in the first place.
