Like Europe in 1945, many are supporters and collaborators. Some were not smart enough to get out, others not able.

Hopefully those who are not will be spared, but there will be innocent casualties if one wishes to win.

And it looks like this president quietly intends to kill all the bad guys.

The jihadis, who are themselves generally illegal combatants, are responsible for the civilians they use to hide behind. It is exactly for that reason that the Geneva conventions were established - to define what is legal in war and what is not. You shouldn't have to surrender for fear of committing a war crime because some terrorist is waving a baby at you. As horrifying as it is to kill innocents in the prosecution of a war, letting monsters use civilians as shields is just going to result in even more horrifying consequences.

Every illegal combatant is subject to summary battlefield execution, and I see no legitimate reason not to deliver it, as a general rule. Maybe they'll cut out the war crimes and then the civilians will be safer. I'm not letting some Islamist throw a burka over the heads of any of my kids to sell them as sex slaves just because he hid behind his own.

Rumor is that ISIS forced a couple of hundred civilians into a site, and lured in an airstrike, as a propaganda weapon.

No one alleges, or believes, that the Coalition is targeting civilians - just raising a stink and waving the bloody shirt over the bodies of the dead.

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?

"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.

"...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.

If "monitoring organizations" are complaining, then we are over target bigly! Let 'er rip!

Precise figures to this day are still unavailable, but in 1945 alone, somewhere close to 1 million Japanese were killed and wounded by our bombing campaign of the Home Islands.

Even if today's figures were true instead of propaganda, they would be laughable. Only a shrinking handful of the population knows what total war looks like.

Geez..... on just the face of it this puff piece smacks, nay reeks, of self-serving questionable motives.

Here’s the drill down litany - WaPo, Airwars.org, IBC (funded by OSF - a Soros journalist operation), United Nations something on jew hating, and on and one. There’s so much to track and enlightened everyone with it ain’t funny.

In my 30 minute wanderings for this provenance of money begging ALL of these organizations came up. The major [only source] for this article is Airwars.org (too cheap to even get a decent web page instead of Facebook, et al.) Run by ‘journalists’ who have ‘stopped reporting on Russian airstrikes to devote full time to US-led airstrikes.’ I kid you not.

Here’s my sense of the bottom line. An organization of liberal journalists who’ve found a new mission now Trump is in charge; their old funding line is going away (thus the new emphasis) and some serious money raising going on there.

This is just a third hand repackaged package of horsesh!t tripled wrapped so it doesn’t smell.

Judge for yourself, browse through the links, they are all there. They’ll lead you down a rabbit hole that will boggle your mind. If I was in charge I’d pull this fairy tale.

A sharp rise in the number of civilians reported killed in U.S.-led airstrikes in Iraq and Syria is spreading panic, deepening mistrust and triggering accusations that the United States . . .

The headline made me wonder: Is the Left evil enough to emphasize civilian deaths to make Trump look bad, even if there is not much of a change? The answer is obvious. For any question that begins "is the Left evil enough to", the answer is "yes".

All of a sudden the press is concerned about “civilian casualties” since the USA is accused of perpetrating them. I smell Fake news.

If ISIS was the culprit - no big deal...
