Drudge: US War Crimes?

The Drudge headlines:
US STRIKE IN AFGHANISTAN KILLS DOCTORS AND OTHER STAFF IN CHARITY'S HOSPITAL...

Medics frantically phoned NATO and Washington...

19+ dead...

'War crime'...

'Patients burning in their beds'...
Of course, this is a war crime. But so is the entire US militray action in Afghanistan in the first place.

  1. interesting this got leaked out while the Empire is going on about Russia killing civilians in Syria.
    Also interesting that, as you point out, the word "war crime" is being used. I believe that the staff of this hospital first were using this term to describe the bombing. Which again as you point out, OF COURSE IT IS!!
    The US Empire is getting more than just a bloody nose as of late.
    Unfortunately this encourages Americans to vote for a "strong" president that will get things done and make America strong again.
    Supposedly.
    Which means kill more people.
    we have so much work to do.
    But the hearts and minds of Americans were won over more than 200 years ago once before, surely, hopefully it can happen again.

    1. Exactly what I was thinking. Unfortunately, it's just a Right vs Left thing, probably not a principled position.
