well, at least the US and Isus have the same goals in public now
Just why was it that nobody could figure out that every attack against Assad resulted in ISIS being able to gobble-up some new territory? Being stupid doesn't come with that much built in denial. (for a few days until they lost it to Russia)
I see we still think we are in the old west where the hanging takes place in the morning before the bar opens and the trial is still in the afternoon after the bar has been open for a few hours. Even the Indians will be shaking their heads at the blatant show of stupidity.
Canada Backs U.S. Strikes in Syria
Canada "fully supports" the U.S. firing of cruise missiles at a Syrian airbase in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday.
"Canada fully supports the United States' limited and focused action to degrade the Assad regime's ability to launch chemical weapons attacks against innocent civilians, including many children," he said in a statement.
"President Assad's use of chemical weapons and the crimes the Syrian regime has committed against its own people cannot be ignored," he added. "These gruesome attacks cannot be permitted to continue operating with impunity."
I wonder how the West is missing headlines like this when it is well known that ISIS doesn't have it's own pilots.
Nearly 300 died in Mosul airstrike, making it one of the deadliest attacks on civilians in recent memory - LA Times
Iraqi officials said Wednesday that they had removed nearly 300 bodies from the site of an apparent airstrike in west Mosul, the largest civilian death toll since the battle against Islamic State began more than two years ago and among the deadliest incidents in decades of modern warfare.
More bodies were being removed Wednesday as the U.S.-led coalition investigated whether it was responsible,
Iraqi officials blamed Islamic State, and the injured continued to suffer.
Mosul's civilian deaths: How the US destroyed Iraq | | Al Jazeera
A
partial answer was delivered on March 17, 2017, when a coalition air strike levelled a residential area in western Mosul, killing as many as 200 civilians in the process. US forces said that they have
opened an investigation, while Iraqi commanders responded bluntly that they had called in the strike to eliminate snipers who had taken positions on rooftops.
The US' sanctimonious self-image does not fit well with its own sordid history of involvement in Iraq. The US has become so involved in Iraq's modern history that its footprint can be found everywhere.
Iraqi and American commanders have suggested that the incident was the result of a carefully laid trap. According to that narrative, ISIL had deliberately been concentrating civilians together in particular buildings in the hope that they would be attacked by coalition aircraft. The immediate effect would be a pause in the bombing campaign. The long-term effect, however, was to cause for the conspiracy wheel to continue spinning.
