The death toll has climbed to 22 following an airstrike in Kunduz, Afghanistan, that struck a hospital run by Doctors Without Borders Saturday.

Ten of those killed were patients, including three children, according to Doctors Without Borders/Mdecins Sans Frontires (MSF). The other 12 were staff members, said MSF.

In a statement, the coalition in Afghanistan acknowledged that U.S. forces conducted an airstrike in Kunduz early Saturday at 2:15 a.m. local time "against insurgents who were directly firing upon U.S. service members advising and assisting Afghan Security Forces in the city of Kunduz. The strike was conducted in the vicinity of a Doctors Without Borders medical facility."

While the U.S. military has launched a formal investigation, MSF is demanding an independent investigation "under the clear presumption that a war crime has been committed."

If deliberate, why?

It's Time to Treat Doctors Without Borders as a Terrorist Organization

[NormsRevenge]

Using civilian population for cover.. Priceless.

but nothing new for the scumbags who treat their goats better than their women.

It can’t be obama’s fault, he didn’t know about until he read it in the papers, you know sometimes Valerie just doesn’t have the time to give him a heads up about her decisions.

So haven’t there been any casualties in the year Obama has been bombing ISIS?

[1rudeboy]

Just doing what the Russians won’t do. oh, wait

If deliberate, why?

It gets Russia taking over the Middle East off the front page?

Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.

War crime? s%$# happens during war. Especially when the enemy uses non-combatants as a “shield”. I hate these undeclared wars. The entire ISIS and Iran mess is OWNED BY OBAMA and his complicit Rats.

Have you read “Red Storm Rising” by Tom Clancy?

[hulagirl]

Geez, talk about “gun violence”! The pot calling the kettle black! Oops, racist, sorry.

[butlerweave]

They was helping the Tally Band

[pfflier]

Because somebody was shooting at them?

[Verginius Rufus]

Let's see--an independent investigation with a clear presumption of guilt?

I know the perfect person to head such an investigation--Patrick Fitzgerald.

[elpadre]

Can’t you imagine the headlines throughout the world if this had happened during Bush’s time in office. Whew!!!

Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.

I believe in the case of obama and his ilk, that rule is backwards.

YMMV

[null and void]

Yes.

[Popman]

I would not be surprised to learn a high value target was hiding in the building....

Our POS cnc traded one traitor for five terrorist and six military lives...

What’s 22 lives...?

It is to Obama’s credit that he allowed the airstrike on these scumbags. Maybe this will discourage them from collaborating with the Taliban.
