US Gunship Repeatedly Pounded Clearly Identified Hospital
Plane Made Five Runs Despite 9-Foot Flag Identifying Site
by Jason Ditz, October 09, 2015

A new press conference by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) allowed
them to lay out strong evidence for their claims that the US
deliberately attacked what they knew was an MSF hospital on the
outskirts of Kunduz, a strike which killed at least 22, and left
dozens of others missing.

MSF revealed today that not only was the hospital directly hit,
but it was the only building in the entire compound that was
struck, and was struck repeatedly for nearly an entire hour, with
the gunship making five distinct passes over the hospital, firing
on it each time.

The attacks continued even though MSF contacted the US after the
first strike, warning them they were hitting the hospital, and
the site was hit over and over despite this warning, and even
though there is a 9-foot flag draped across the roof identifying
it as a protected medical facility.

The US insists that the site was “mistakenly” hit, and that they
had no idea it was a hospital that they were repeatedly
attacking, but that they were told by the Afghan military they
came under fire from the compound. Interestingly, though the
Afghans claimed Taliban were on the site, there was no evidence
of any firing elsewhere in the compound, and again, only the
hospital itself was hit.

I saw photos of this building on the BBC before and after the
attack and there were no signs it was a hospital.

Do you assume U.S. military knew who and what it made this pin-point
repeated attack on?

Good idea. Kill 'em all and drop the politically correct crap. War
is all about killing people and it's never pretty.

That said, it's best not to do it... however, if you're going to war,
then go there to kill them.

Jones... who is generally opposed to wars; they suck.

PS: Vinnie appears to be just now learning this obvious fact.
