Doctors Without Borders airstrike: US alters story for fourth time in four days
The Guardian ^

Posted on 10/07/2015 7:21:35 PM PDT by Altariel

The US account has now shifted four times in four days. On Saturday, the US military said it did not know for certain that it had struck the hospital but that US forces were taking fire in Kunduz.

On Sunday, it said that the strike took place in the “vicinity” of the hospital and suggested it had been accidentally struck. On Monday, Campbell said that the Afghans requested the strike and said US forces in the area were not “threatened”.

Considering that Obama is a consummate liar, it is surprising when his minions muck it up.

If you think that at any time you can believe anything that comes out of this administration on any level, or anything written by any media, talking head, GOPee, RINOs, or anyone else, you being lied to...rank and file, lied to...

The kenyan got his butt handed to him by Putin and Putin knows exactly what the kenyan is capable of, that’s why he is wiping the kenyan’s face in it...

The kenyan thinking he has all this support because he is a muslim has been greatly mistaken and the world knows it....and so do we Americans....

I believe I recall their statement as being...

“There were no taliban in the hospital...
at the time of the attack”.

Hillary! couldn’t have said it better herself.

It is always horrible when anyone dies from friendly fire. But they are in a war zone so what are they going to do about it? In previous discussions, the docs without borders don’t have a pristine reputation when it comes to not collaborating with the enemy.

I don’t know about anyone else, but it IS war. War, is, as they say, Hell. I don’t think that the United States, as a rule, should go around bombing hospitals. And I am not shilling for the Obama administration, but, hey, news flash, Afghanistan, if you don’t want this kind of thing happening, how about, you know, joining civilization?

Any civilized people would avoid that, if possible. That's why Hamas has it's headquarters in Gaza there.

No, but little kids got burned alive in their beds and others because they could not escape.

I'm sure it's not the first time (a cruise missile on a bunker sheltering women and children in Baghdad near the beginning of Desert Storm) I remember and don't remember any flak or apology for that. It was before the Dems turned on Bush.

The Guardian is leftist and are saying outright that our administration has lied. That is pretty bad.

Given what Obama has done to the command structure in our military, it’s difficult to believe any of the iterations.
