Insane stupidty or something else?

[Timeh 10]

Its looking more an more like America destroyed the hospital killing aid workers and patients alike

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/10/aid-workers-killed-air-strike-afghan-hospital-kunduz-151003043052500.html

The US have even said they 'may' have done it which basically is an admission of their guilt.

So, do the US keep doing things like this because the military is stupid? Incompetent? or is it just because they seem to like killing things and blowing stuff up?

RIP to the dead

AMERICUUUUUR!!!

Always sad when civilians get killed, but all nations are guilty of it, not just the USA.

From the article:

 

MSF said it gave the coordinates of the hospital to Afghan and US forces several times to avoid being caught in crossfire.

 

"As MSF does in all conflict contexts, these precise locations were communicated to all parties on multiple occasions over the past months, including most recently on 29 September," according to MSF Afghanistan representatives.

 

Why don't the Yanks ever bomb their own towns and cities whenever a gunman start shooting the place up?

 

Genuine question.

Accidents happen, this is why so many countries will not take military action these days. You can kill 1,000 militants preparing to massacre innocent people, but if you accidentally kill a civilian or god forbid an innocent child, you are a monster to people like you.

 

At least the USA, like the UK will investigate and admit fault where appropriate, unlike the likes of Russia who will just deny everything in the face of evidence to the contrary.

 

If America is at fault, it not because they targeted this hospital. They do everything they can to mitigate civilian casualties. Can you say the same for these militants or the Assad regime?

That's another topic entirely.

 

If America took every action possible to prevent civilian deaths, they wouldn't have invaded Iraq.

America stands there and chastises the Russians for bombing the 'wrong terrorists' then a day later blows a hospital to pieces????

Inconvenient and the Russians will be laughing their heads off.

 

I cant get excited with little Timeh until he starts complaining and making threads condemning ISIS and Assad over their daily killing of civilians.

 

There are two thoeries at the moment as to why it happened.

 

1. It was a mistake and they hit the wrong target, which happens.

 

2. It was deliberate, there were Taliban hiding there and the rest were collateral damage. The pilot would be instructed by the Afghan forces on the ground as to what to target.

 

A mess nevertheless, but at least there will be an investigation.

Exactly, having the temerity to denounce Russia's involvement followed by this tragedy is extremely revealing of the state of global politics and the US' role in it.

Bloody hell, please dont tell me you actually believe that do you?

Well lets see how the Russians do now they're in the act.

 

The only way to sort this part of the world out is for a coalition of US, European, Russian and Chinese troops to permanently occupy Syria and Iraq, kill off ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Hezbollah and set up zones of occupation like that in post war Germany. Oil production would be taken over and administered by the four power admin commission, a curfew imposed in all the principal cities which will be strictly enforced. All women will be given the right to vote along with complete gender equality. Acts of terror will be promptly dealt with by on the spot executions and all clerics will register with the occupying authorities and under constant scrutiny for any teachings of terrorism to their congregations.

 

Later on perhaps a ruling body would be permitted picked from local moderates but the occupation would be set to last for several decades at least

 

Russia and China would have a very valid interest in participating in such an occupation since both countries are surrounded by small Islamic states which could fall under ISIS at any time
