Russia Is Bombing Ambulances in Syria

Michael Weiss

On the same day the U.S. struck a hospital in Afghanistan, Putin’s pilots struck medical facilities and vehicles nowhere near ISIS.

Dr. Ammar Martini has a simple question he would like answered: “Why are the Russians bombing my hospitals and ambulances?”

One of the cofounders of Orient Humanitarian Relief, a non-profit that provides medical treatment and educational services in northern and central Syria, Martini was recounting to The Daily Beast how Russian airstrikes in the Idlib countryside Saturday destroyed a part of his emergency ambulance center. “They destroyed four or five of our vehicles,” he said. “These attacks were specifically targeting Orient.”

This utterly "mystified feeling" they are experiencing must be somewhat like what office workers felt on 09/11/2001.
Except on that day they really were innocents just showing-up for an honest day working at the office, unlike these jihadist so-called ambulance drivers.

Israel probably identified the ambulances as terrorist movements.....

We should be saturation bombing like we did during WW 2. I subscribe to the Bomber Harris, Curtis LeMay, Pail Tibbets, Winston Churchill war philosophy. Bomb them till they scream for peace...on their knees. That’s how you win.

Russia is conquering a nation and will install a puppet Assad. Conquering peoples are not nice folks. The latter are history’s losers.

The Charge of the Light Brigade
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

1.

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
“Charge for the guns!” he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

2.

“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismay’d?
Not tho’ the soldier knew
Someone had blunder’d:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

3.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.

4.

Flash’d all their sabres bare,
Flash’d as they turn’d in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder’d:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro’ the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel’d from the sabre stroke
Shatter’d and sunder’d.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

5.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro’ the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

6.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred.

Copied from Poems of Alfred Tennyson,
J. E. Tilton and Company, Boston, 1870

I’d like to see the gun sight camera images of secondary explosions after hitting these “ambulances.”

Hey, the Muslim terrorists hide among the women and children, in neighborhoods, hospitals and schools, and use ambulances to transport arms, ammunition and explosives.

[ Liberal/progressive self loathing. ]

“What they’ve given is not enough,” says Dr. Essa, a general surgeon at a hospital run by Orient Humanitarian Relief in Reyhanli. “They’ve given what? $350 million over two years? [The actual American pledge is $385 million.] That’s nothing when you compare it to the size of the tragedy and the destruction.”

(...)

Despite US efforts to increase humanitarian assistance to Syria, intended recipients say the American presence remains virtually invisible. Part of the perceived deficit of support comes from the US policy of not branding or labeling aid parcels to identify them as coming from the US. Many in the aid community say that this has resulted in Syrians feeling abandoned by the US.

In a region where perceptions often matter more than reality, the US has failed to convince many Syria

“There’s a sense inside Syria that the US has been stringing the Syrian opposition along,” says Christy Delafield, program director for the Syrian Expatriates Organization. “Syrian-Americans have been begging the US to brand aid.… The US is doing some great things and the Syrian people aren’t seeing it. When they get aid, they credit the Gulf countries, Turkey, or the Europeans, who do brand.”

(...)

“We are not putting flags on the aid so that it’s perhaps not as visible as it is in other situations. Our priority is to ensure that it reaches people and that it doesn’t create additional insecurity,” said Nancy Lindborg, USAID’s assistant administrator for democracy, conflict, and humanitarian assistance in recent remarks to the press.

"“Why are the Russians bombing my hospitals and ambulances?”

Because that's where the jihadis are.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they fed their jihadi babies gunpowder. They look crazy from a couple years old, in some of these ‘refugee’ photos I’ve seen from you. Thanks as always.

Long before the enemy will "scream for peace," every nation and MSM outlet in the world will be screaming that we are butchers and mass murderers. That is in addition to our own MSM, and pretty much every other organ of mass opinion.

Let's see if Russia gets the same treatment.

Because it's a well known fact that terrorists use ambulances to move men and materiel. Sorry, but that's the truth.
