The USAF will have an internal inquiry to find out who fucked up, and that will be it... And the media folks constantly screeching about "war crimes" and "cover-ups" (Mr. Greenwald, I'm looking in your direction) realized that dog wasn't hunting anymore and moved on the DROOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEES...(They also weren't helped by the near-simultaneous news that Russia had been hitting civilian targets as well)...

What else do you want to happen??

I want to have an explanation of how it is possible to repeatedly bomb a hospital for over an hour peacebird Oct 2015 #12

First off, it wasn't a "bombing", AC-130 gunships don't carry bombs Blue_Tires Oct 2015 #13

If it was down, is there no backup to prevent attacks on known friendly sites like hospitals? peacebird Oct 2015 #14

Yes, normally there would be a large red cross or crescent painted on the roof. MH1 Oct 2015 #21

The carry cannons and howitzers. Octafish Oct 2015 #15

I know what's on them, I've seen the vids Blue_Tires Oct 2015 #16

The innocent are just as dead no matter what the f you call the weapons. JEB Oct 2015 #17

The misnomer is assuming someone is innocent. Octafish Oct 2015 #18

Which means the person in control does not give a flying f about the victims of the raid peacebird Oct 2015 #20

So you're not even giving them presumption of innocence? Blue_Tires Oct 2015 #22
