U.S. Bombs Afghanistan Hospital, Kills At Least 9 Doctors And 3 Children, Calls It "Collateral Damage"
Update 2: the death toll has risen to 16, including 9 hospital staffers and 3 children.
UPDATE: At least 16 people died- nine MSF staff, 7 patients from Intensive care unit, among them three children http://t.co/5puRbAlgXS
— Doctors w/o Borders (@MSF_USA) October 3, 2015
Update: and now the UN is getting involved, which means the US will have to spend even more taxpayer funds on bribes to make the "international community" forget this collateral damage incident and refocus on evil Russia.
#BREAKING: Kunduz air strikes 'inexcusable', 'possibly criminal': UN rights chief
— Agence France-Presse (@AFP) October 3, 2015
* * *
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for US foreign policy, or for the credibility of the US state department to slide further, it got much worse.
Less than a day after US ambassador to the UN, uber-warhawk Samantha Power informed Russia of the latest US foreign policy stance by tweeter, when she called "on Russia to immediately cease attacks on Syrian oppo[sition and] civilians" in the latest desperate attempt to halt the Russian campaign against US-created ISIS which may wipe out the terrorist threat in just a few short days, it was the US itself which admitted that early on Saturday the US airforce bombed an Afghan hospital run by the medical aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres, or Doctors without Borders, in the Afghan city of Kunduz in an air strike that killed at least nine people and wounded 37.
It is w/ deep sadness that we confirm so far the death of 9 @MSF staff from bombing last night of MSF’s hospital in Kunduz. 37 Wounded.
— Jason Cone (@jtcone1977) October 3, 2015
As the Executive Director, of Doctors without Borders Jason Cone tweeted, "all parties 2 conflict, including in Kabul & Washington, were clearly informed of precise GPS Coordinates of @MSF facilities in Kunduz" and that the "precise location of @MSF Kunduz hospital communicated to all parties on multiple occasions over past months, including on 9/29."
In other words, this morning's US bombing was nothing more than another example of the utter incompetence, carelessness and disregard for innocent civilian lives that has become a staple hallmark of US foreign policy, something we have already witnessed repeatedly in the past 6 years as a result of the thousands of innocent people dead as part of US drone attacks, also known as "collateral damage."
The attack, which started at 2:15am local time, took place when almost 200 patients and employees were in the hospital, the only one in the region that can deal with major injuries, Medecins Sans Frontieres said.
The aftermath of the US bombing:
At the aid group's bombed-out hospital, one wall of a building had collapsed, scattering fragments of glass and wooden door frames, and three rooms were ablaze, said Saad Mukhtar, director of public health in Kunduz.
A video of the aftermath was also released moments ago:
"Thick black smoke could be seen rising from some of the rooms," Mukhtar said after a visit to the hospital. "The fighting is still going on, so we had to leave."
"We are deeply shocked by the attack, the killing of our staff and patients and the heavy toll it has inflicted on healthcare in Kunduz," the aid group's operations director, Bart Janssens, said in a statement.
"I could hear sounds of heavy gunfire, explosions and airplanes throughout the night," said Khodaidad, who has only one name. "There were several huge explosions and it sounded like the roof was falling on me."
As expected, Doctors without Borders was furious after the attack:
1/ MSF condemns in the strongest possible terms the horrific bombing of its hospital in Kunduz full of staff and patients.
— Jason Cone (@jtcone1977) October 3, 2015
Worse, as Cone adds, the US bombing raid "continued for >30 minutes after American & Afghan military officials in Kabul & Washington first informed of proximity to hospital." Not only was the US bombardment uncalled for, but it continued long after supervisors were made aware they should call it off.
Perhaps the only thing the US military got right was admitting it was responsible for this latest murder of innocent civilians, when it issued a statement acknowledging that it carried out airstrikes, claimed they were conducted "against individuals threatening the force," and conceded that "the strike may have resulted in collateral damage to a nearby medical facility."
Oh well, oops?
Meanwhile the drama at the hospital continues:
Many @MSF patients & staff remain unaccounted for. #s keep + as we develop clearer picture of the aftermath of horrific bombing in Kunduz.
— Jason Cone (@jtcone1977) October 3, 2015
While the US tried to justify its latest murder of innocents by supposedly engaging the Taliban, a spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said U.S. air strikes targeted the hospital, killing killed patients, doctors and nurses adding that "no militant fighter was a patient" the group said. The U.S. military has unleashed twelve air strikes this week in support of government forces in the city. Most airstrikes hit targets on the city's outskirts and the overnight strike was only the second in a central area, the military said.
MSF said it had treated almost 400 patients in the 150-bed hospital since fighting broke out, most for gunshot wounds.
So many patients have flooded in that the hospital has had to put them in offices and on mattresses on the floor. The International Committee of the Red Cross said it was "deeply shocked" by the incident.
"This is an appalling tragedy," said Jean-Nicolas Marti, head of the ICRC in Afghanistan. "Such attacks undermine the capacity of humanitarian organizations to assist the Afghan people at a time when they most urgently need it."
As Glenn Greenwald points out, "it’s impossible to fathom what the U.S. media would be saying and doing if Russia did something like this in Syria. By contrast, the reaction to this airstrike by their own government will be muted and filled with apologia, ironically quite similar to the widely vilified caricature of Jeb Bush’s comments about the Oregon shooting spree: stuff happens."
It's quite possible to "fathom" what the "objective" US media's reaction to this horrific tragedy will be: utter silence. Which, however will not be the reaction from the rest of the world, which with every passing day realizes that when it comes to Pax American, the only this that matters for the Obama administration is appeasing his generous backers from the US military industrial complex which just happen to arm all sides in the conflict. That and the banks who provide the loans, of course.
However, when it comes to the now four-year-long attempt by the US to pass a Qatar gas pipeline under Syria, even if it means crushing the nation, destroying its economy, and unleashing the worst refugee wave in European history, one thing is clear: the US has just lost any US credibility when it comes to criticizing Putin's or anyone else's "attacks on civilians."

Just when you think it could go no lower, we get bombing hospitals and murdering Doctors Without Borders staff :(
Well done America.
Unlikely that the Americans intentionally bombed a Medcin sans Frontiers hospital. Much more likely they simply do not care what kind of building it is. Anything to spread chaos and violence. To seed hate and disruption throughout the world.
did you read this in the article above ?
See here....
Worse, as Cone adds, the US bombing raid "continued for >30 minutes after American & Afghan military officials in Kabul & Washington first informed of proximity to hospital."
you're a fucking retard.
It's like the US has become a charicature of a comic book villain.
Sorry premillenialists, the U.S.A. is not a stand in for Babylon. No-one will mourn the destruction.
Was someone having a wedding onsite?
Credibility? How can you lose something you don't have any of?? Next we'll be told we lost the gold in ft knox.
Obama will burn in hell. Why in the fuck are we even there? What fucking interest is served that we have to kill people, ruin lifes? How fucking sick are the people who run are government? Can someonr ruin the lifes of the people who made these decisions?
President Obama was the one who brought America into Afghanistan and Iraq under false pretenses?
I remember it differently. The name George W. Bush comes to mind.
Barry "ended" the war in Afghanistan after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. These dead doctors you see are an illusion. It is completely unpossible for this kind of shit to happen with the benevolent Barry running the show.
American "smart bombs" are victims of common core education, dumbed down, just like the average amerikan shlub.
So Obamacare has made it to Afghanistan? Expect an increase in your premiums after they clear up the rubble.
We MUST control Afghanistan at all costs. How else are we going to be able to supply cheap heroin to our High Schoolers and keep everyone sufficiently doped so they don't notice the final chapters of their future being pillaged, then destroyed?

No need to worry about expensive meds with Obamacare when you can get cheap smack on every corner.
we hospitaled some folks
<-- we dehospitaled some folks.
<-- we dehospitaled then rehospitaled some folks.
.President Assad demands regime change for the "Butcher Obama" after futher wedding and hospital atrocities and announces plans for arming moderate 9/11 truthers
...it’s impossible to fathom what the U.S. media would be saying and doing if Russia did something like this in Syria....
And there's the rub...
The evil hypocrisy of the psychopaths pulling the strings of the a Evil Empire is simply breath-taking.
It is difficult for the sane, rational mind to fathom.
And barely a word across all MSM sources!
Absolutely disgusting...
In Australia the initial coverage of this REAL Humanitarian disaster was pretty muted, however the outrage from the US and Saudi Arabia over Russia's "showing them how to get the job done" in Syria was deafening. We even had (radio) coverage of the Saudi Ambassador berating Russia for "Humanitarian Crimes" - seems "Execution / Amputation Central" is very keen on "upholding Human Rights" (except where their own citizens, and especially where their migrant workers, rights are concerned.)
Afghanistan is a yuuuuuuuuuuuge market for Obamacare insurance, SNAP, Section 8 caves, Big Pharma vaccines, and all the goat you can eat!
dwob - suspected organ harvesting operation
israel is not going to be happy about this
9 dead in Oregon, time for the crocodile tears from Obombo and perrenial attacks on guns. 14 dead in Afghanistan and the cocksucker is probably out on the greens with the masters of war and murderers . Is there a word stronger that FUCK for that creature.
And the bombs (total military $598.49 billion), like common core education ($69.98 billion), funded by the American Taxpayer.
Imagine if instead of making General Dynamics and Armalite richer, we figured out an education system that actually works.
"Imagine... if we figured out an education system that actually works."
What do you mean if?? It was long ago figured out. Don't you understand the destruction of education in the US is intentional. Knowledge is the enemy of the State unless you conspire with the State.
"Imagine... if we figured out an education system that actually works."
I teach mine knot tying, (hangman's noose). Guillotines and ballistics are also included in the curriculum.
Imagine what you could do with $598.49 billion!
With $$ like that, I could have my own MIC, but mine would have morals, constitutionality, and integrity.
(and lots of scared crooks running from it)
Imagine what you could do with $598.49 billion!
Strip the cunt of the Nobel prize
I bet there was no US doctors in the hospital
Let me fix that for you, 'I bet there were no JEWISH doctors in the hospital'
US goy lives dont matter.
But 0bama kept right on bombing hospitals and droning weddings, didn't he?
It wasn't W that bombed Libya to destroy Gadaffi and the country's entire infrastructure ( except oil and gas to Europe ) and peace.
I can barely remember when being an American was a good thing.
Well Bones. USSA has to create some terrorists. It's now or never so if you luv your cuntry sponsor a Profit Mohammad Cartoon Convention at your local convention center.
I can but that's because I'm nearly 70 years old. Of course I was barely aware of the Red witch hunt in the 50's. Then in came Johnson and Nixon to begin the global destruction.
In 2001, the US changed from being merely duplicitous and sometimes murderous to full-on Zionist psychopathy.
But never frear, it is all good for Israel (according to Bibi 'Pottymouth' Mileikowsky).
eirik, true -however for the last 7 yrs we have troops there under mr obuma, but i guess that is not important, just defending a semiblack socialist ..you disgust many.
the wisdom of the founding fathers of america and recently Ron Paul, are clear to many of us citizens of USA..I want no more bombs dropped to extend the empire..
"Whenever there is a discussion of the guidelines laid down by the founders for American foreign policy, Thomas Jefferson's admonition to avoid foreign entanglements and alliances is seen as the founding principle. That seems reasonable to me inasmuch as George Washington expressed a similar sentiment. So while there were some who favored France over Britain during the French Revolutionary Wars, the main thrust of American foreign policy was neutrality."
"
Shhhhh EML, lot's of closet republicans, many of whom probably voted for Bush the lesser lurk these parts.
And clearly, CLEARLY, AMERICA is being set up to be hated, detested, world-wide.
Shoved into a shit hole and the concerned citizenry can do nothing but bleat minor protests and declare code pink!!!
And this is the cuntry that Mr. .Modi went and embraced recently. India is being delivred into the arms of the real shaitan....
World going MAD!
Nothing wrong with reporting the facts - we've know for a long time the US is not 'there to help'. We'll see how balanced ZH's coverage of the ME is as Russia starts to bomb the shit out of it and also inflicts collateral damage of its own. There are no good guys in this story.
There are no good guys in this story.
I only see one side obsessed with global regime change, so there's, you know - THAT
So far - we"ll see how long that lasts as the power base begins to shift....
That's a fair reminder. Bush's venture into mideast nation building has ultimatley been a disaster. Obama didn't start the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. He gets credit only for presiding over our hasty departure, their decent into chaos, and bringing us back. As for Libya and Syria, not to mention our new radical freedom-fighter buddies that like to saw off heads, Obama gets full credit.
I wasn't Bush's anymore than it is Obama's. They are all playing off a script that has been handed them - capice? You can pan the actors all you want, but if you hate the movie, the production isn't their doing. Producers and Directors never have to take their marks on the carpet.
Obama wanted to be POTUS, so the rape of Libya and ISIS are his to own. There are plenty of other players to be sure but the magical mulatto gets to Own This Shit.
Rumor has it that Samantha Powers head exploded this morning on learning this news... has anyone seen Samantha?
President Obama was the one who brought America into Afghanistan and Iraq under false pretenses?
I remember it differently. The name George W. Bush comes to mind.
Larssen you selective memory idiot - Obama was all about Afghanistan and even tried to make the case for invading "Pockistan" while running for TOTUS. Dude, you are serially mendacious.
From what I SEE someone wants America and its reputation utterly destroyed.
My thought has always been how do you have a superpower in a one world government?
you don't.
It's why America is committing suicide.
Thanks Obama
Who gives a shit??? We're still there, 8 years later. Point fingers back to "this guy is even worse!" is what's killing any and all debate. Obama is Bush's third term compared to what he was elected for. We voted for another Roosevelt and we got another BushClintonite.
You voted for Obama? You're a dumbass.
We collateralized some folks.
We re-hypothecated some mistakes.
We are there to keep the opium fileds in full production after the Taliban nearly eradicated them. Do some homework. The truth will set you free.
John McCain: Killing browny colored people is loads of fun - militia, civilians, doctors, it's all the same to us. But when you Russians kill OUR terrorists, that really pisses us off !!
They work for an organization with the monopoly right to initiate force, and they got there through divine right of the majority.
Any questions?
Remain calm -> We are in Afghanistan to control drug market, guard the the poppy fields. George "poppy" Bush. CIA is "the" drug traffic organization.
Move over Ortiz, H.W. is the real Big Poppy.
Saudis took care of that one.
Not without US help and endorsement.
Are you aware the US re-fuels the Saudi planes in flight?
http://www.debka.com/newsupdate/11033/
In the meantime, Vlad has just precision bombed an ISIS command center (that somehow the US had not bothered with - don't know why) and managed it without destroying a single hospital.
Obama 0 : 3 Putin
Tell that to the Western press.
They're pretty outraged at the unconfirmed, unnamed, and unverified "at least 39 civilian casualties" from Russian airstrikes.
And gee, it's a shame that the MSF hospital got caught up (as the sole target) of a U.S. airstrike.
I think they are outraged, that we are outraged, that they feed us on a diet of lies and expect us to swallow it.
"Tell that to the Western press. "
We all know the images and videos above of the US bombing in Afghanistan will be doctored and used as "proof" that the Russians are bombing civilians in Syria in the coming weeks - just as they were this week.
The more I read about this US bombing raid on the hospital which does not even come anywhere near to being described as "collateral damage", the more I think there must be more to it. Perhaps some MSF staff got wind of CIA heroin shipments and were about to talk to journalists? It seems like a very deliberate and desperate act.
Anyway, I'm just very tired and sad to witness all the cannibal apes doing what they do best: War.
multiple layers of target selection and verification, prior to initiation. it was intentional, just like the chinese embassy. and fukushima was sabotage as well.
Obama will come out and in his most frustrated and self-righteous voice will say we have to politicize this issue because it's happened so often that we've become numb to it. Americans have to be a one issuer voter when it comes to droning innocent civilians. Then the media will interview all types of pundits who will call for appeal of the constitution to stop the droning.
That'll happen, won't it?
"Obama will come out and in his most frustrated and self-righteous voice will say we have to politicize this issue because it's happened so often that we've become numb to it."
lmao!
Ain't that the truth, famous words the prevericator-in-chief will never say: "When government bombs are outlawed, only outlaw governments will have bombs!"
For the cheeelrin ;-)
Nah, they'll probably shoot up another school as a diversion.
That shooting sure was right on time. The Media was worried about having to stretch The Popo and Kim Show to a full 20 minute segment.
Afghanistan assured the US that the hospital treated a terrrist - so whew, make sure that gets heavy rotation....
Obama 0 : more than a bazillion Putin. Russia saves the world ... again.

Haha, you are a Kike. You are pissed off because the Muricans are realizing that the Afghans are not their enemies but the parasitic Kikes like you are. Enjoy your time Kike while you can coz ultimately you are going to go to the gas chambers. Unfinished job will be finished.
I didnt see any indication of an apology or even the hint of one forthcoming.
Calling it "collateral damage" is the same as saying "shit happens".
Does make me wonder if these pilots have a conscience or are so brainwashed that they shrug off cold-blooded murder.
They're so hopped up on army-administered amphetamines they;re incapable of rational thought.
You've got to wait until they get back home and have no career prospects and their supply runs out. Then their guilty conscience will solve the problem of what to do with hundreds of thousands of unemployed vets.
I dated one (zipper shirted sun god) for a brief period of time before realizing my mistake. They are heavily indocrinated, usually officers and many come out of your elite navy schools and have fathers that are high on up on the chain. The military no doubt has psychological screening that insures that these guys don't have too many empathy problems. The one that I dated claimed conservativism and yet was of the opinion that the US population should be disarmed because only our military needed weapons, wonder where he got that idea.
It's about time we started using their screening against them.
Like Bonesmen, they screen for sociopathy - a highly desirable trait.
I'm sure this wasn't intentional. Someone making an idiotic mistake is far more likely. This administration has their hands full with damage control already. They certainly didn't need this. They're quite capable of phucking everything up just with good intentions. And speaking from experience, I'd expect over 30 minutes for word to percolate from a political liasion, through the chain of command, to the man with his finger on the trigger. That's not unusual. It's not like this was some high profile operation, complete with White House photo op.
Can you read? Do you understand English?
Help me out then. What point did I miss that shows absolute proof of this being an intentional attack on a med facility? Do you really think everything that happens, especially in a war zone, is done by some super-competent shadowy force?
MSF was pretty clear that they had given the coordinates of the hospital days before
That's no proof against my statement "Someone making an idiotic mistake is far more likely." I can assure you pilots (and artillery personnel - as it's not 100% clear what the attack consisted of) are not infallible. I wouldn't even make the assumption that those coordinates got passed to all the necessary personnel. If it was some form of air strike, it's easy to become disoriented at night. A makeshift hospital at night doesn't look any different from any other similarly lighted structure.
The military is made up of human beings organized in a huge bureaucracy. Why do assume they're so competent? Are there any other bureaucracies that you consider incapable of making mistakes?
Chinese embassy in Belgrade. "It was an accident". You are full of horse shit.
"A makeshift hospital at night..." Stop with your made up garbage. There was nothing "makeshift" about the hospital. It had been there for years. Th coordinates were communicated. Pilots are given targets in the USAF. They have groups that decide on and assign targets. They don't just ride around deciding on the fly that this or that building needs to be crushed.
Mmmwahaha!, you caught me. It's all been part of our diabolical plans, but so too was this conversation. Now we have you thinking exactly what we want.
We're also lacing your pot with methylenedioxypyrovalerone-paranoidium.
More useless talkings. I hear its a tough job market. Maybe you should try harder?
fuck you, cunt.
Afghanistan has been occupied by the US for a decade.
US fully aware of GPS coordinates of facilities.
Bombing continued for 30 minutes even after being notified of damage.
This type of alleged 'mistake' has been a repeated offense.
And you, the defense lawyer, wish to argue it was merely wilful indifference
rather than malice with forethought.
no one gives a fuck what you think. grow up, conscious cunt
They knew exactly where the hospital was located before the airstrike. According to the DWN, Doctors Without Borders had informed all parties, the Afghani government, Washington, and the US military where they were operating. No percolation necessary.
The hospital was targeted.
And it does not take 30 minutes for pilots to get new intel from command. But it is a ready made response that the sheeple can console themselves with.
It was collateral damage, not.
We are not the Borg, not yet anyway.
not the Borg ? Really?
"You will be assimilated".
"Resistance is futile".

Reading is hard. You mean people shouldn't just react to the headline?
Let me assure you, fudge, you are a fucking retard. What is your military experience? What the hell do you know beyond a point and click video game? Nothing. You want to hate the USA? Cool. Don't pretend you need this incident.
Here is how it goes for all you keyboard warriors.
War is the use of lethal force on a huge scale. When it is in a city it gets really messy, especially with indirect fire weapons like artillery and even area weapons like bombs. You have a coalition fighting here, Afghans and Americans. You have two languages and two sets of command and control.
One side could be reporting Taliban in the building which may or may not have been correct. They could have been moving outside and along the builing as well as in it, maybe in a courtyard. They do that. You have Afghans and or Americans calling in fire. They are under fire at the same time. Vision is cloudy through smoke, dust, etc. You may not be able to tell what the building is from all sides. You get conflicting reports as to what is going on in real time.
Despite all our communications things go wrong. This is a war zone and the Muslim guerillas move and hide amongst the people and buildings. They will hide in a school, if necessary.
If you are an aid agency you take your chances when you go into a war zone. That is what happens. In every single war or conflict in history we accidentally kill our own, our allies and the some of the civillians who live in the combat zones. That is how it goes down. At least we try to minimize it, sometimes almost to the point of hamstringing our efforts and putting ourselves in danger.
All you morons who think or even assert that it was some type of military mission to take out the hospital are idiots. Let me assure you, if the hospital was the target it would not be standing.
Get a life. Use your brain and if you just want to hate the USA do not pretend that this is your reason.
"War is the use of lethal force on a huge scale." Right on Captian America, so tell me, when was the last time America engaged in this type of war and we certainly are not engaged in that in Buttfuckastan now are we. My dad could tell you Green Zone warriors a few things about "war on a massive scale" but you would shit your pants and claim PTSD.
Yeah, and you actually can call me "Captain". I know a lot more than you think and I do not need to ask my dad, asshole. You might actually notice from my post that I might know how things work.
When was the last time we were NOT in this type of conflict? You seem to be weak on history, sunshine. You see this kind of force used in Chicago on a rowdy weekend?
No way we targeted a hospital. Something went wrong or even Afghans or Taliban hit it with artillery. At this point I would not even rule out a propane explosion.
#movetoMontevideo
@ HenryHall: I agree with you, but would have stated it more agressively. I really don't think the US forces care, but I do think the goal is to spread chaos and violence. "Degrading," by which I mean "Utterly Destroying," any and all components of social structure is the goal. Hospitals, schools, water treatment facilities, bridges, roads, power plants; all are considered appropriate targets. The excuse is that "The Enemy" is using them. And, of course, since the likes of John Yoo got done shredding the morality of the nation (not that it was in such great shape anyway), anything we claim is a military target is a military target. And everything we do is justified since we're the ones doing it. If anyone else does it, it's a war crime.
It's a lot easier to do whatever you want for any reason or no reason at all if you're a psychopath, isn't it?
From what I've seen in the past, we will "never" know the truth, because there are always more than one story and the truth is mixed up in there somewhere. This is why war is Hell and why there's never been a "good" war or a "bad" peace. If war ever comes to our shores, again, and I mean "real" war not terrorists, we will "all" be collateral damage.
Well......in all fairness...you ARE operating in a war zone with advance warning from the military.
I thought the Afghan war was over? No? Had me fooled by the way you hear El Presidente speak.
just in the last few days i heard
obama say "we are out of iraq and afghanistan."
now this.

perhaps the pentagon has lent out the shadow

maybe recruited them to operate or supervise

speaking of "gun" violence and routine appearances

extremely and demonically reckless.
Seriously, are the wars ever over in any Muslim conflict zone?
Not while there is money to be made.

I'm surprised they didn't double tap.
They did double tap. Maybe triple tapped. Read the article again. It went on for quite some time. Evil stinking hypocrites.
I'm busy and go straight to the comments. Nice to see they lit up the first responders to make sure they get fucked up too.

"They went on for some time"
A bit like the Israelis and the USS Liberty. The Israelis claimed that was a mistake too, in spite of the massive US flag flying on the stern of the Liberty.
Fairness, what the fuck are you talking about?. It is not even your country!
Tell your bloody politicians to pack up and fuck off!
I am so sick and tired of your government and the psychopaths that support it.
Well....in all fairness... you should wipe your mouth after having swallowed from Samantha Powers dick.
Russian General Staff officer of the armed forces of Russia reported by phone:
We really see a big difference between ordinary terrorists in Syria and moderate terrorists who were trained by the CIA.
For this reason, we use different types of ammunition. For conventional strikes on ordinary terrorists, we use our usual ammo.
But for attacks on moderate terrorists, we use our moderate ammo only.
Our moderate ammunition have different from the our ordinary ammunition in the same way, as ordinary terrorists differ from the moderate terrorists.
All our moderate ammunition, have a different color.
This is completely different paint composition and other color shades. It is also more lighter and more moderate colors on all of our moderate missiles and bombs.

Well, in the name of fairness and accuracy, the actual 'savings' is about -$4,865.
And isn't it ironic how so many of the very wealthy who preach to the masses about the impending doom of climate change & rising sea levels are tripping over one another to acquire prime oceanfront properties?

Emphasis on the negative number (moar out of our pockets) close enough for gubmint work!
(Sigh)
Not when it is on purpose.
Kinda hard to mistake a hospital with ambulances and markings for something of military importance. Especially after you have been in country for 15 years with years of satelite images of every square inch of the place.
This IS the US strategy, As disgusting and ineffective as it is. In Ukraine, which had American advisors the main targets were schools and hospitals and bus stops the entire time and almost never anything of actual strategic military importance.
They killed millions of Iraqi civilians but yet have the audacity to accuse Russians of hitting a few civilians.
And they wonder why the International communnity hates them and sees the US for exactly what it is. The biggest terrorist organization the world has ever seen. The US CIA has created almost all of these terror organizations operating today at one time or another:The mujahadeen, al Quaida which morphed into ISIS in its decades long wars.
Putin's statement at the UN "Do you realize what you have done?"
These terror organizations know no borders and ISIS alone is operating or recuiting in Afganistan,Turkey, , Russia. Dagestan, Tajikistan, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Chechna, Spain and has cells now in Europe, and these are just what I have heard about recently. This will take a concerted world herculean effort to put down.
The entry and determination of the Russian was not about some stupid pipeline like many believe. Russia has had pipeline deals fall through all over the map. What caused Putin to finally act in Georgia? in Chechnya? Syria? What has always caused them to act is exactly what they are saying. These terrorist are a dangerous destabilizing factor for everyone and its spreading rapidly.
Gentlemen we are the terrorists. Eventually it will catch up to us, just a matter of time.
The guy who broke this story is about to be Mcchrystalled - he'd better find himself a car that can't be hacked...
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, on being informed that US policy had led to the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children, said,"We think the price is worth it."
When asked what her greatest accomplishment was as Sec of State, she said, "Restoring America's reputation abroad."

Pathetic and sickening.
You're assuming this isn't intentional.
Sounds like it was. From Fox News : "Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said 10 to 15 "terrorists" had been hiding in the hospital at the time of the strike. "All of the terrorists were killed but we also lost doctors," he told a press conference. He said 80 staff at the hospital, including 15 foreigners, had been taken to safety."
You can take your imaginary "10 to 15 terrorists" and stuff 'em up your fat ass you 5 weeks and 5 days .gov stooge. MSF said there were only patients and staff.
Obie's not fat
No doubt there were some "Terrorists" in that college in Oregon, too.
Winning the hearts and minds........
I thought Obama ended two wars?
He's cleverly using a similar strategy to the one he used to pay off our debt...with more debt.
He ended anything that could be perceived as winning two wars. His goal is to spread chaos by destabilizing as many areas as possible, while also diminishing any moral authority we have left. Even our corrupt and tyrannical partners no longer trust us. Have ceded both the moral high and low ground.
The cognitive dissonance present in the level of hypocrisy within the U.S., it's government, media, and citizens had reached stratospheric levels.
The Nobel Prize Winner always gets off lightly for all his killings. Putin was blamed for civilian deaths in Syria even before Russian jets left the ground.
The free and fair press of the West doing its job as shills for the CIA.
America's deadly double tap drone attacks are 'killing 49 people for every known terrorist in Pakistan'http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2208307/Americas-deadly-double-t...
If it wasnt for the twitters and the farcebooks "we" would never hear about these things until many months later. The excuse of collateral damage worked well up until the Vietnam era, maybe even desert shield, the MIC needs to come up with a better excuse to keep the ball rolling. Heaven forbid everyone finally wakes up and sees the war for profit paradigm!
Oh yeah, fuck you Obama et al
Afghanistan is where empires go to die....
