Doctors Accuse White House Of Lying To Justify "Collateral Damage" In Kabul Hospital Bombing

Tyler Durden's picture




 

By way of excuse for what President Obama called "a tragic incident," (and The UN called a 'war crime') US officials have claimed that the Taliban were fighting from within the Kabul hospital (which was destroyed by a US air strike yesterday killing at least 19 including 3 children) using aid workers as "a human shield." However, this justification for the 'collateral damage' has been vehemently denied by Medecins Sans Frontier (MSF) who have issued a statement dismissing the US claims, "the gates of the hospital compound were closed all night so no one that is not staff, a patient or a caretaker was inside the hospital when the bombing happened..." but, the US strike has done one thing, as one local health official concluded, "this city is no longer for the living."

In a statement, President Barack Obama offered condolences to the victims of what he called "the tragic incident" where as we detailed previously, the aid group MSF has said an air strike, probably carried out by U.S.-led coalition forces, killed 19 staff and patients on Saturday in a hospital it runs in Kunduz, leaving 37 wounded. The 'reason' offered by US officials, as Reuters reports,

The U.S. military said it conducted an air strike "in the vicinity" of the hospital, as it targeted Taliban insurgents who were directly firing on U.S. military personnel.

 

...

 

In Kabul, the Afghan Ministry of Defense said Taliban fighters had attacked the hospital and were using the building "as a human shield".

But the medical aid group denied this.

"The gates of the hospital compound were closed all night so no one that is not staff, a patient or a caretaker was inside the hospital when the bombing happened," Medecins Sans Frontieres said in a statement on Sunday.  "In any case, bombing a fully functioning hospital can never be justified."

 

Witnesses said patients were burned alive in the crowded hospital after the airstrike. Among the dead were three children being treated.

 

Frantic MSF staff telephoned military officials at NATO in Kabul and Washington after the attack, but bombs continued to rain down for nearly an hour, one official of the group said. The medical charity that was a lifeline for thousands in the city said it was pulling most of its staff out of the area because the hospital was no longer functioning. Some staff had gone to help treat the wounded at other hospitals, it added.

 

Taliban fighters in Kunduz were still holding out against Afghan troops, despite government claims to have taken control of the area.

 

The Afghan defense ministry on Sunday congratulated residents over the victory and military helicopters dropped 6,000 leaflets urging people to cooperate with the army."If you see abandoned military vehicles or equipment anywhere turn them over to security forces," the leaflets read.

 

A coalition military official in Kabul, who asked not to be named, said, "Our understanding is that the whole area is still contested."

 

Corpses lie in the streets and people are too afraid to leave their homes, said one resident, Gulboddin. "You can hear the sound of gunfire all over the city," said Gulboddin, who has only one name. "Some of the bodies are decomposing.

 

"Hospitals running out of medicine are struggling to treat growing numbers of patients, said public health official Sayed Mukhtar. "There is no electricity and hospital laboratories are not working," he added. "This city is no longer for living."

Which explains why the group has decided to leave the city... International medical charity Doctors Without Borders said Sunday that it has withdrawn from the northern Afghan city of Kunduz

Kate Stegeman, the group's communications manager, said some staff are working in other health facilities in the city, where troops have been battling Taliban insurgents.

 

“All critical patients have been referred to other health facilities and no MSF staff are working in our hospital,” she said, using the French abbreviation for the organization.

 

“Some of our medical staff have gone to work in two hospitals where some of the wounded have been taken,” she said.

*  *  *

The U.S. government promised a full investigation into the incident as the U.N. human rights chief said the bombing could amount to a war crime.

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."

The US has launched 6700 airstrikes on ISIS while the Russians have apparently degraded ISIS in just 60 airstrikes. Was the US dropping care packages and videos made in Langley?

The US and its allies have carried out 6700 airstrikes at an expense of nearly $4 billion in the year since President Barack Obama ordered a campaign against Islamic State. Yet the terror group shows no sign of defeat and has even expanded its reach.

http://www.rt.com/news/314885-isis-usa-anniversary-campaign/

Obama is a shameless liar and a war criminal.  The Nobel Prize Winner, who continues to drone women and children and wedding parties, has bombed 7 Muslim countries, told lies about sarin in Syria, created ISIS and destabilized Ukraine. His crimes are legion:

You sound like an "America, right or wrong" kind of person. If so, wake up and see that your country is doing its best to destabilize the entire MENA. They've turned Iraq and Libya into failed states. Yemen is on the way to that status. They've tried with Syria, but Russia won't let them. Oh, and outside the MENA region, they funded the overthrow of a democratically elected Ukraian government and backed Nazis taking that country over.

Horse shit. The state department has been doing what it does since WWII. Countries that sign treaties and subjugate themselves to it, are allowed to contine. They host military bases. Countries that refuse to sign treaties are marginalized, their political leadership is subverted and overthrown, and reduced to chaos. If they don't have resources, they are left to rot like Somalia or Haiti.

If they do have resources or if they have a strategic location, and do not sign up as vassals of the empire, then the empire will do whatever it takes. Whether it means balkanization or color revolution, or simply invade and bomb.

This all started long, long before Jarrett / Obama. It started before they were even born.

So it's OK to bomb a building where terrorists were using sick people as human sheilds? Wonder if they would do the same in the US if terrorists took a hospital hostage.

I feel for the boots on the ground and the pilots involved in this, and hope their real story comes out. An horrific mistake.

The 'war crime' will be suppressing that story, making up or changing parts of the story, and trying to transfer blame.

In one stroke, the U.S. has lost the moral high ground to condemn any Russian actions in Syria.

I think Obama may think differently about collateral damage if the White House or Air Force One takes a hit.

When you have a warmongering asshole for President, it reflects on the Nation as a whole.

Start by arresting him and the other war criminals.  Your government is no better than that shooter in Oregon.

On the same day that the U.S. harshly critizises Russia for bombing the "good terrorists" in Syria, we bomb a hospital in Afghanistan. 

Not that we had any sort of moral highground to begin with, but you'd think that even the mouth breathing morons that make up the general population would start scratching their heads at this point.

With GPS guided bombs I don't see how you do this. Maybe one bomb malfunctioned but apparently this was several bombs. Plan B would be laser-guided bombs with the target illuminated by a ground-based laser or another aircraft circling overhead. Either way there is no excuse for this.

The Harold Wallace Rosenthal Interview

By Charles A. Weisman

The Jews Hidden Tyranny Plans

Introduction

This writing contains the most revealing and shocking interview of a Jew by the name of Harold Wallace Rosenthal.  Mr. Rosenthal who was [he died in August 1976] a wealthy and influential Jew involved with the US government as an administrative assistant to Senator Jacob K. Javits of New York, explained the role of Jewry involvement in the major world problems we face today.  By exposing certain aspects of the inner invisible world of Jewry he revealed the modes and tactics Jews have used in destroying Christian civilization and the covertly ways used for attaining control over our lives, government and future as a nation.  The result has been the creation of an invisible but real hidden tyranny upon us like the one waged against the Saints by the red beast system of revelation referred to as Mystery Babylon. But how could such a small number of Jews enslave so many people and gain such an overwhelming control over the government without most of us not being aware of it?   The answer to this may be found in Jesus parable of the unjust steward which represents Jewry. They are able to prevail in the world despite their ungodly ways because of their cunning and shrewd ways.  In other words, the Jew with his worldly mind set is wiser than Christians and when you read and truly understand the words of Mr. Rosenthal the reality of his statements come to light.  The US and the rest of the world are covered in political, economic, moral and social problems which need to be acted upon by Christian people, but before we can properly act we need a proper and an in-depth understanding of the problem.  What you are about to read should act as a warning to all non-Jews throughout the world as it is obvious indeed that what he discloses here is not fiction or imagination. It is real although not so visible thanks to Jews serpent-like abilities to hide what they are really up to from those around them.  Mr. Rosenthal was not pretending as he spoke during the interview with great knowledge and intelligence.  Many things have been said and written about the Jewish satanic conspiracy known as “one world government,” but never before it has been described so direct and openly as he did during our conversation. It staggers the imagination!  The Zionist plans for world enslavement are shocking and many will be astonished at these contents on which this writer prefers not to elaborate and let you the reader instead be the judge.

When looking back at the time our interview took place and having had enough space to analyze Mr. Rosenthal’s rather candid ways, one is compelled to think of him as a very intelligent and very knowledgeable man, but also ruthless, evil, boastful, and determined to accomplish his goals.  He is also an egotist and egoist whose cruelty surfaced with venom, particularly when referring to us as “stupid Christians” or “goyim” [cattle] as he also referred to you and me.

Charles A. Weisman (1992)

The Conversation

Mr. Rosenthal: “It is a marvel that people do not rise up and drive every Jew out of this country.”  Harold Wallace Rosenthal, himself a Jew, made this statement after admitting Jewish dominance of all significant national programs. “We Jews continue to be amazed with the ease by which Christians have fallen into our hands. While the naive goyim wait for Khrushchev to bury them we have taught them to submit to our every demand.” When asked how a nation could be captured without their knowing it he attributed this victory to “the absolute control of the media.” He boasted of Jewish control of all news and said that any newspaper which refused to be controlled by them was brought to its knees by withdrawing all advertising and other methods.  Failing in this the Jews stop the supply of news print and ink. “It’s a very simple matter,” he said.  When asked about the role of those in high political office, he said that “no one in the last three decades has achieved any political power without Jewish approval. Americans have not had a real presidential choice since 1932. Roosevelt was our man and every president since him has been our man.”

When US foreign policy was mentioned, with great disdain and mockery he sneered at the American stupidity in failing to see through the entire scope of Henry Kissinger’s strategy.  “It is Zionist policy from beginning to end yet the stupid citizens think it will benefit America.” He then cited “detente” and Angola as examples of Jewish policy and diplomacy. The credulous nature of Americans drew only contempt from him. The interview continued on an almost omniscient plane. “We Jews have put issue upon issue to the American people. Then we promote both sides of the issue as confusion reigns. With their eyes fixed on the issues they fail to see who is behind every scene. We Jews toy with the American public as a cat toys with a mouse.”  As the conversation went on into the late hours one could sense that perhaps America deserves the reign of terror being planned for us. The Jewish pits every ethnic group against the other and it works with excellence. “The blood of the stupid masses will flow as we wait for our day of world victory” he said coldly.  For hours after this incredible discussion a sense of inadequacy prevailed. Is it possible that another group of people could be so treacherous in spirit and so evil in intent?  The words heard and the evidence at hand is real. Is it possible that the American people can remain docile even while their life blood is being drained from them?   It seems so according to what we can see.  What does all this say to you?

This writer is not easily shocked but as this egotist raved on-and-on I found so much of what he said to be actually horrifying and the actual betrayal of which he admitted, was a part of and he appeared to gloat over the apparent success of a Jewish world conspiracy to enslave people everywhere.  His mind was thoroughly immersed in the “one world government” plan controlled by Jewry. With arrogance he boasted that Jews conquest of the world was almost complete thanks to “Christian stupidity.” At the foundation of the issue is the traditional Zionist concept of “aliyah” which is a Hebrew term meaning “in gathering” or return of the Jewish diaspora (dispersed Jews) to “their” Palestine stolen homeland.  Every since 1948 with the creation of Israel “aliyah” has become a basic imperative of Israeli government policy.  “What is “aliyah,” I asked? His reply: “It means a permanent physical migration to Palestine not just a visit.”  I asked him what is Zionism and that I have heard Jews define it as anything from permanent migration to financial and spiritual support of Israel from around the world.  He replied: “Our first leader former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion said that Zionism without a return to Zion is phoney. Not many American Jews migrate permanently to Israel. Some say that all Jews are Zionists. Others say that a Jew is not a Zionist unless he/she is a member who pays dues to an actively Zionist organization. Definitions have been tossed everywhere since the Jewish homeland became a reality................

 US officials have claimed that the Taliban were fighting from within the Kabul hospital.

That sounds so, so...familiar:

IDF strikes Gaza hospital it calls Hamas command center

The IDF said the hospital grounds and its immediate surroundings “have been repeatedly utilized by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad as a command center, rocket launching site, and a post enabling terrorists to open fire at soldiers.”

On the uncorroborated word of one of the CIA's paid liars:

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Earlier on Sunday, Hamdullah Danishi, the acting governor of the Kunduz Province, said that Taliban militants had used the hospital’s campus and had been routinely firing “small and heavy” weapons from its grounds before it was hit by an airstrike on Saturday.


http://sputniknews.com/asia/20151004/1028011089/msf-kunduz-afghanistan-taliban.html#ixzz3ncuUm7n1

thus the US acquitted itself of any responsibility for the 50 minute long bombing of the hospital in Kunduz.

The stench of the lies of America and its Negrocon administration offend the heavens which will soon rain justice and retribution down on it and its allies.
