On Saturday, US airstrikes against the village of Naser Khil in
Afghanistan’s Nangarhar Province destroyed two houses. The houses
belonged to the village’s only doctor, and his brother, and killed both
of them along with their families.
That was 13 civilians in all: two men, their wives, and nine children.
The provincial government had claimed a Taliban commander was also
slain, but there appears to be no confirmation that this is actually the
case.
NATO confirmed that the airstrikes took place, but did not comment on
the civilian deaths that were already confirmed, saying only that they
were looking into the matter, and emphasizing the attacks were
“self-defense.”
How blowing up a doctor’s house counts as self defense isn’t entirely
clear, though a NATO spokesman claimed that the attack meant to target a
Taliban operations center. Clearly, it did not.
Murdering bastards… I hope Karma destroys their lives.
Nothing personal, just business…..and the brave pilots get to experience real action, instead of the damn simulator.
Its hard not to believe the U.S. didn’t know a doctor lived there.
After all, U.S. airstrikes leveled that Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan for obvious tactical reasons they won’t admit to. An indig doctor’s house is kind of nothing after crossing that line.
Yes, the big white cross on the roof makes an excellent aiming point.
I simply assumed they had intel, but yeah, its possible there was a helpful sign.
Wow just 5 comments in 2 days on something so senseless.
This is supposed to be an anti war site, not MSM.
i guess Americans have gotten used to the fact that their government are murdering civilians overseas.
“i guess Americans have gotten used to the fact that their government are murdering civilians overseas.”
Yep.
And when someone from overseas murders civilians here in retaliation, everyone will start wailing “WHY do they HATE us for our FREEDOM?”
And the MSM reports the incident without putting the dots together.
Well, of course. The MSM are stenographers for the regime, not actual reporters.
I agree, it`s synchronized with other countries MSM, especially US ally countries.
Except that no-one from overseas has murdered civilians in USA. The Mexican drug cartels and criminals are not from ‘overseas’, just from over the Rio.
