US War Crime Bombing of Afghan Hospital Is Covered Up

[Peter Lemkin]

The new official story from the military is that the Afghans asked for the strike, claiming they were taking fire from that position. I assume the Afghans will deny that.

Starting to look to me like someone out-foxed the US military (fake military signals traffic?) into bombing a hospital.

While someone certainly could send fake signals traffic with those coordinates, though no such evidence has been advanced yet, it hardly matters. The US Military KNEW that those coordinates were a hospital....and they are supposed to match whatever coordinates they get, using computers, with known places at those same coordinates - and not just fire away because someone [real or spoofing signals] calls in a strike to that location. They never should have started the attack, but they had 30 odd minutes to stop it and they didn't, after being told (reminded) over and over that it was a hospital and under attack! Its a clear War Crime no matter how it comes out in the wash, but I doubt we'll hear the truth anyway. Its got to be a very ugly story as a lie or as the truth. Sadly, the USG has NO love for MSF, but must know how they are so very highly respected around the World. They are doctors that treat either side and non-combatants too. They take their Hippocratic Oath seriously. The USA seems to prefer the hypocrite oath.
