It’s both.
It is fake news that these were civilians and good news that they are dead.

I can’t even tell you how we handled this in WWII say in France. I think we tried but the war came first.

The propagandists will never give Trump any credit once he helps defeats ISIS. If it were Obama on the verge of crushing ISIS, the “press” would be praising him to the hilt and it would dominate every news cycle. But, of course, this is Trump so they will find any way to attack him, even if ISIS is the only one to benefit.

The Trump-hating media will have such egg on their faces if ISIS is eliminated so rapidly under the Trump administration, while their beloved Obama spent so many years playing games instead of wiping them out. The Iraqi Prime Minister predicting the impending doom of ISIS and praising Trump to the hilt while criticizing Obama must have terrified the leftist media.

Why are we even there? Isn’t it because Obama bungled everything so badly?

But Muslims want to be martyrs, right? We are sending them straight to Paradise, aren’t we? Ingrates! No problem with collateral damage, Allah will know his own.

How true. It seems that all over Facebook, you read about all the millions of people that Bush killed! There the death count goes up and up when a Republican is president!

"According to the U.K.-based organization Airwars, which tracks allegations of civilian deaths in airstrikes

AIRWARS, if you go to their site, is Soros funded (see its about page,) is a few part time people.

This is the purest, if you can call it that, of propaganda.

I would not say that William Tecumseh Sherman was “infamous”. He was given a job and he did it.

Well then, why has the UN not called out ISIS?

"...Dead civilians..."


I eagerly await photos with workers in jumpsuits that say "BABY FOOD FACTORY" embroidered on the back to be taken out of mothballs and recirculated.

It’s our fault that ISIS uses Human Shields.

That’s the ticket.

This idea of records being broken sounds pretty absurd. This is an ISIS controlled urban war zone. They don’t have a team of NFL referees keeping score.

The article is ridiculous and says we haven’t changed our rules, it describes people fleeing areas before an offensive and hiding in basements while ISIS is fighting on the roof. So we did what wrong? Oh yeah, winning.

Exactly. It’s been a jihadi dirty trick forever.

And there is zero chance I’m going to believe WaPo as a source. They hate the president even more than the rest of the MSM ever since he kicked them out.

They all need to adapt—this CIC plans to win this war.
