Quote:Last year the Obama administration issued, with considerable fanfare, a new military policy designed to reduce civilian casualties when U.S. forces are attacking enemy targets. This policy required "near certainty" that there will be no civilian casualties before an air attack is permitted.

Quote:When Israel acted in self-defense this summer against Hamas rocket and tunnel attacks, the Obama administration criticized the Israeli army for "not doing enough" to reduce civilian casualties.

Quote:Now the Obama administration has exempted itself from its own "near certainty" standard in its attacks against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. In a statement....the administration said that in fighting Islamic State, also known as ISIS, the U.S. military can no longer comply with Mr. Obama's vow last year to observe "the highest standard we can meet."

Quote:The statement came after a Tomahawk missile last week struck the village Kafr Daryan in Syria, reportedly killing and injuring numerous civilians including children and women.

Evidence US is targeting civilians

You cannot fight a war that way. Period. All you will do is guarantee another quagmire--like Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq. And a war not fought to win is an unjust war. The people who are killed and maimed fighting for a tie were truly sacrificed in vain. And that's a despicable act by whoever decided to sacrifice them.

For those of you who have not experienced it, war is godawful, terrible, disgusting, scary, the worst thing you can imagine. But sometimes the alternative is even worse. So save war for those situations where the alternatives are worse. And when you do go to war, get in, get done, and get out.

And for the record, in 284 posts to this thread, there's been no evidence produced that Israel is targeting civilians.
