Well, since the terrorists do not wear uniforms, do not have a chain of command, then they are civilians, right?
When one are fighting terrorists, number of civilians killed is a key measure of merit. The deaths of the civilian women and children behind whom the children were hiding should be blamed on the terrorists.
Exactly. Also notice that the msm makes no distiction between the terrorists killed in the action and "innocent" women and children. They are lumped in with the civilian body count.
