Boasting about the precision of airstrikes, the top commander of the coalition 'fighting' the Islamic State, Lieutenant General James Terry, claims that: "We have some great capability in terms of precision," and "To date, we've got a very good record." Further claiming that "we took the utmost care about who we are targeting."
SOTT.net has been carrying reports of their 'very good' track record:
- "Successful" US-led bombing in Syria: Only civilians were among the dead
- Spreading Freedom: U.S. airstrikes in Syria bomb grain silos killing civilians and destroying food
- US airstrikes targeting 'IS-controlled' oil refineries killing civilians including children
- 'Hooray! We're finally slaughtering Syrians directly!' U.S. airstrikes kill 5 civilians in Syria
- At least 10 civilians, including children, killed by U.S.-led airstrikes in Syria
- U.S. destroying Syrian infrastructure while ISIS slaughters Kurds in Kobani
"The specific standards at issue in the NDU speech apply only when we take direct action 'outside areas of active hostilities,' as was noted at the time," said Caitlin Hayden, the spokeswoman for Obama's National Security Council, referring to Obama's address at the National Defense University in the spring of 2013. "That description - outside areas of active hostilities - simply does not fit what we are seeing on the ground in Iraq and Syria right now."Basically, they'll continue killing civilians, and to hell with anyone who gets in their way. We can expect nothing but another whitewashed report from the U.S. investigation. After all, civilians are mere 'collateral damage' in the never-ending war on terror.
...of killing civilians? Yes, I agree.
"we took the utmost care about who we are targeting."
So you're killing civilians on purpose. I see. Always good to know.
And as always, criminals investigating themselves? Please...
Actually, wait a minute. If I killed Obama, could I investigate myself and conclude that based on "evidence" (which I can't show anyone for reasons of National Security, duh) I most certainly didn't do it?
(Well, at the very least, I think I could easily get away with it if I claimed that Putin did it.)
Oh well, just another day on planet Retard.
