“Only” Two CHILDREN Killed by US Strikes in Syria According to Pentagon. Real figure MUCH Higher.

This article is for all you people who trust completely in American foreign policy. People who believe that the government would never lie about the reasons it goes to war for. A report by a group of journalists and researchers shows that US claims of killing just two civilians in Syria is off by about…30000%. That’s right, the do-gooder Nobel-peace-prize president has commissioned the deaths of not just two civilians as the pentagon claims… but 591. Airwars is the nonprofit behind the report and it cites this number based on 52 “credible” incidents… Not to mention the number of NON-credible incidents that must have happened in the period that simply could not be verified by the non-profit.

In ONE such incident a strike against an ISIS “headquarters” in Al Bab, Syria (duh), that was being used as a jail (because them IS leaders SURE LOVE staying inside a prison building) some 58 civilians were murdered. Including women and teens. Well DONE Obama, you just did all the executing FOR ISIS (heck, you probably executed a bunch of kids that ISIS had only wanted to maim).

And this is happening after Libya… Helloooo, Americans and Britons  were completely  AGAINST going into Syria in 2013, is NOBODY curious how ISIS popped out and executed a bunch of Americans and Britons and Obama “had to” go into that place you did not want to?

Chris Woods, the journalist and author of the report, stated that there is “a worrying gulf” between how the government officially accounts for civilian deaths and the consensus that monitoring groups, you know those people who don’t have as much of an ax to grind or nearly as poor a track record as the US government, have independently arrived at. He’s too polite; basically, I call this politicians blatantly lying about figures and people believing whatever they are told because the reality would be just too difficult to come to terms with.

The U.S. “coalition’s” policy “of downplaying or denying all claims of non-combatant fatalities makes little sense, and risks handing Islamic State and other forces a powerful propaganda tool,” said Woods.

The report goes on to note that Assad and ISIS were responsible for even more civilian deaths in the region, though I’m sure the US is working on narrowing that head start they gave them.

Interestingly, Congress has not passed any authorization for the war, and no public debate has occurred beyond “oh no, they killed three of our’s. Time to blow sh** up… ‘MURICAAA!!!”.

Obama is certainly not the only party to blame for this; lawmakers have decided to ALSO overlook a proposal of his to limit the war to three years and prevent to use of ground troops. Yay, everyone loves a pointless and completely-illegal-were-it-not-for-a-technicality war that could escalate into a ground invasion… Particularly when the Russians are looking to take a more active role for some reason (hint, they have few naval bases in the world outside of the motherland- one happens to be in Crimea. Guess where the other one is…).

Obama has authorized attacks in support of their “moderate” rebel faction: this means attacks on Rus- I mean, Assad, are also green-lit.

I’m sure this lead-up to a proxy war against Russia was completely accidental.
