Syrian lives matter.

 

It is weird how these stories get no traction.

I thought it was made pretty clear on this forum that all Muslims are bad people and terrorists and therefore they were not innocent?

Don't worry.  The US will condemn Russia for doing the same thing in a few months.

I just watched Argo last night.  Another reminder of what our nation building in the Middle East results in.  America's arrogance and greed has so much blood on its hands.

Its going to continue to happen. When nobody wears uniforms you cant really tell who anyone is.

No drones. Just old school jets. The first sentence of the story says US air strike but says coalition throughout the rest of the article. So who's really to blame for this?

Yeah not sure who bombed. 

Having said that, whether we caused this or not, absolutely no reason to be involved in this. Removing Sadam was idiotic. Egypt and Libya are unstable. If Assad gets removed so be it but let's not get  involved whatsoever. Learn a lesson for once.

Obviously not.  We are about to elect Hilary.  The person that got an ambassador killed.  We will continue to try to hammer a plastic nail through a rock, because Amerca!

Big difference between targeting civilians and mistakenly killing them. But fuck America - we are such an evil people.

And their leaders and fellow countrymen intentionally kill far more of them.

their soldiers frequently hide amongst the innocent. doesn't make anything okay, but it's part of the reality of the modern world. this is one of the signs found in iraq to try and make the US feel guilty:

Lame. I guess they don't want to interrupt the non-stop coverage of the RNC.

[Kevin]

Until it's identified who bombed them, I think thread title should to "coalition."

We accuse the media of jumping the gun, overreacting, or inaccurate reporting.  We here at AW should be held to a higher standard. And no I'm not new here.

CNN is too busy preparing their next six anti Trump headlines and "fact check" installments.

This is not and never will be an excuse to kill innocent people. 

 

If they are clever then we must be more clever, not more barbaric.

 

the point of war is not to kill as many people as you can, the point is to win.  You never win by killing the innocent.

It was a question. My baby I should have worded it "Does that make it ok?"

Yes, all Muslims, cops, firemen, gun owners and banjo owners are bad people.
