US military confirms it is investigating what could be one of the worst incidents of civilian deaths by coalition forces
At least 85 civilians, including almost a dozen children, have been killed after US air strikes targeted an area in northern Syria held by Islamic State (Isis/Daesh) fighters, a monitoring group has said.
Some eight families were reportedly wiped out in the IS-controlled village of Tokhar near Manbij on Tuesday (19 July), in what could be one of the deadliest bombings of civilians by coalition forces since the start of operations in the country.

Wasn’t the Obama Administration squealing that Russia bombing targets in Syria was not safe, that they were going to kill civilians there?

Maybe he mistook the civilian families for American cops.

I guess those towns should reconsider harboring terrorists, as well.

Is it really “harboring” if they take the town by force?

Obama will blame it on faulty coordinates from his new partners in Syria, the Russians, or Turkey, or somebody else.

Muslim extremists routinely fire their heavy weapons from populated areas. Look up some of the Palestinian photos and the Iraq war photos.
If civilians died, be assured the jihadis were trying to get return fire on them.

Our ‘mistakes’ only happen when we get tired of trying to fight a war clean. Same thing happened in Belgrade under President Clinton, when we started hitting schools and bridges to ‘bring Serbia to its knees’.
But the fun thing about being Democrat Globalist is that send the military off to kill civilians and win Nobel Peace Prizes at the same time.
