They have no honor.

I cannot wait to have someone come remind me that the U.S. does not do this on purpose so therefore, its not terrorism.

Does anyone actually believe that? The U.S. military just keeps repeating canned excuses. Given night vision and satellite imagery they know full well how many people are on the ground outside. If they were after militants they would have a clue how many and not fire missiles into a crowd of over 100 pine nut farmers.

They knew what they were doing. They generally also know and knew. They simply don't care. Afghanistan is a free fire zone for those yahoos, and its a big reason why America lost another intentionally drawn out war.

This happened days ago. Why the reporting delay?

They have no honor.

Neither do the terrorist US backers.

Eighteen years we have been in Afghanistan - and last week an errant US drone strike killed 30 and today the Afghan government kills 40. That's not how you win hearts and minds...

We need to leave - we are not going to win on the ground unless we undertake a massive invasion to destroy the Taliban - and the American people won't support that.

Come on Donnie - do something constructive for once - bring the troops home - and don't blunder into another Middle East war with Iran!

Now that mad dog Bolton is out of the picture, one can hope. I mean, Trump's not stupid enough to pander to his Saudi chums, is he?

Oh, wait...

Yep, not only his Saudi buds but his fellow corrupt crony Netanyahu....

I wouldn't put it past both of them to create a wag-the-dog moment with Iran to divert from both of their scandals...
