KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) Confusion reigned in the wake of the deadly bombing Saturday of a hospital compound in the northern Afghan city of Kunduz that killed at least 19 people and wounded dozens more. It remains unclear exactly who bombed the hospital run by Doctors Without Borders and the international medical charity has demanded an investigation into the incident.
Doctors Without Borders said that "all indications" pointed to the international military coalition as responsible for the bombing and called for an independent investigation. U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said an inquiry was underway into whether the carnage at the clinic was caused by an airstrike from an American fighter jet, while Afghan officials said helicopter gunships had returned fire from Taliban fighters hiding in the compound.
Afghan forces backed by U.S. airstrikes have been battling the Taliban street-by-street in Kunduz since Thursday to dislodge insurgents who seized the strategic city three days earlier in their biggest foray into a major urban area since the U.S.-led invasion of 2001. The insurgents have had the city encircled for months, and overran it in a surprise assault that embarrassed the U.S.-backed Afghan government and called into question the competence of the U.S.-funded Afghan armed forces.

They all get their talking points/marching orders from the same top dog.
It’s the rare earth metals/minerals the Afghans are sitting on that has everybody taking a swing at extracting.
WAR MONGERS, Bombing innocent women, children & now doctors are on the hit list.
Should be tried before International Criminal Court!!
Arrested ASAP! ...despicable human beings, scum of the earth.
In a sane and ethical America.
"They" being the "most transparent administration" in US history, according to King Fubo.
What would those rare earth metals/minerals be?
GOLD is unique in many ways. It never tarnishes, for one. I DOUBT that gold will be replaced with any other metal.
If the Afganis had gold it would already be a first world country. Maybe it's way, way, way, way down in their earth. It that case, the miners always measure the worth of the mineral with the time and risk of the miners.
Retreating Taliban took cover in the hospital and fired on Afghan Army elements, the gunships returned fire. Thats about all there was to it.
That's about as close to an accurate quick assessment of the incident as we will get immediately.
However, this is about Obama, not the US military that the Drive By Media are moving to blame. The same military could not support their own at the US Embassy in Bengazi, Libya, because of Obama's direct orders, and several senior officers were cashiered for attempting to do so. OBAMA pulls the trigger or not, the military only follow orders, and will be stabbed in the back for this.
So Obama wanted to punish DWB for a reason that will be covered up by the Media as they always cover for Obama.
That's what this is about.
Pgh Baldy posts: They ARE the terrorist (loving) people. They apparently support muslim terrorists against Israel.
Medecins Sans Frontieres / Doctors Without Borders are loved by the left. They are supposedly neutral, but they seem to take a pro-terror stance when it comes to Israel. I have never trusted them.
They ain't got me fooled either, that's why I called them "good" Commies, and observed they are not smart.
So, let me know which rare earth minerals you are thinking of. I'll just walk into my kitchen and CHECK IT OUT. :o)
I THINK they take orders from the top RAT, as in democRAT.
Rats have pink eyes. SHUDDER. I don't like rats.
“Its the rare earth metals/minerals the Afghans are sitting on that has everybody taking a swing at extracting.”
Exactly! It’s the Chinese who have brokered deals with whoever is seemingly in charge, (including the extreemly wealthy power brokers in the U.S.), for the ‘rights’ to those minerals.
Not too many years ago on a FR thread, there were a few of us speculating that the primary mission of western troops in Afghanistan was to bring just enough civility to that savage Stone Age country, to make it possible to start mining operations there. No country or *corporation* will invest the billions of dollars needed to set up such an operation while the country is still in the chaos of tribal war lords feuding with one another over decades long, or even century’s long disputes regarding whose cousin insulted the *prophet* by taking a wife from a neighboring village that doesn’t practice Islam the right way. But the speculation was/is that the Chinese are the ones who have dibs on the minerals, for multiple reasons.
