Doctors Without Borders: 19 dead in Afghan clinic airstrike

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.

CNN hasn’t covered it at all, media narrative, if they don’t report it it never happened..Fox News had some snippets of it here and there but not really much coverage..now imagine if this happened under Bush’s watch it would be 24/7 coverage of the media saying that Bush has blood of doctors on his hands

I would not be surprised at all if it is proven that Taliban were hiding at or near the hospital compound and fired upon “coalition” forces. It’s what the cowardly Muzz have done all along, starting with the experience in Iraq.

If I were FSB and had infiltrated the CIA, I would feed the DoD bad targeting info right after Obama mouths off about Russia using dumb bombs.

And you would be Superman, too.

The CIA can't even get air support by Obama for their own people or American Ambassadors.

No, there was only one finger on the trigger, and it was Obama's.

Our guys would know that too if it were the case.

They know what happened. This is just an information delay tactic as the story grows old on the back pages.

I didn’t say these doctors were smart, but they are leftists.

He has, he’s very much a monster, and I don’t use these sorts of terms loosely.

MSN actually featured a fairly critical article from the WaPost. But the story was not first in line on their website. Pre-eminence went to a dubious story claiming that the victims in the Oregon shootings were not targeted for their Christianity. THAT had to be dealt with first.

I fully understand and you have good reason to suspect that. I concur.

Your media and my media appear to be identical. The story was like fourth in the reporting.

They at first were almost trying to convince people that Doctors Without Borders were lying. Absolutely disgusting, they were questioning their very story.

When they had a representative on, who was saying that the bombing went on for an hour, and they were phoning the White House even to tell them they were being attacked, the mediawhore just COULDN’T respond to that level of truth.

Ive been watching Fox News on and off all day today they have mostly talked about Oregon, about Syria, and about Hurricane Joaquin, but hardly a peep about the Doctors being slaughtered in Afghanistan, maybe a little blip here and there but really not much at all

If this were during the Bush Administration, can’t you just hear the somber music, see the red-tinted slides of the victims fading in and out, with a stark graphic saying DOCTOR’S LIVES LOST, and a voice-over intoning, “The Doctors Without Borders tragedy ... Now, here’s Wolf Blitzer...”

I’m curious as to how this is being portrayed in the American media?

Most are proactive, pushing the meme: an unusual accident took place....

Gee, sometimes bad thing happen, no matter HOW careful you are...

Some leftist scumsites are pushing "The EVIL MILITARY DID IT, ...poor Barak was mortified...

Without any proof from legitimate sources, they had no problem trashing Putin.

Obama and the entire Islamo Socialist DemoRat Drive By Media trash anyone they don't like without any proof from legitimate sources, it's SOP.

Not much coverage, nor much coverage of Russia’s advances from what I observed...

The U.S. MSM is exploiting the execution of 9 U.S. Christians on U.S. soil to further its Leftwing, anti-Constitutional agenda.

How independent is Doctors Without Borders?

They claim that their mission is twofold: 1) Help those who are in need medically, and 2) Serve as witness to atrocities.

At first I thought they may be targeted for being christian, but the organization makes no religious claims.

So I’m thinking maybe these doctors were witnessing things that obama, putin, or others didn’t want them to witness.

Taking off my tinfoil hat now.

He claimed it was a factory producing terrorist explosives. It was when Juanita Broadrick was making her case that he raped her.

Clintdog used the event to keep the US from discussing the possibility that he was a rapist.
