Apologize before the investigation has even started into whether we should apologize.

Article from the Washington Post: Afghan response to hospital bombing is muted, even sympathetic

The Afghani's considered the building to be occupied by the Taliban.

No wonder Obama is in such a hurry to apologize,

August 1998!

General and one time...a very short time Presidential Candidate..Wes Clark was allegedly the genius behind that move, as I remember.

I sense that was a strange ulterior motive for this bombing...as well.

I posted the link to the article but didn’t read the whole thing. The bombing occurred on the FIRST DAY of the Monica Lewinsky trial (testimony) didn’t it?

Doctors without Borders is an odious group, always supporting Islamists. They are a terrorist supporting organization hiding behind medical credentials and using hospitals as a shelter.

Today some pundit was trying to say if the Taliban were engaging ground troops from the hospital then only those ground troops could fire back. Sorry, but I have never heard that.

There are basically 4 ways this plays out, 1 bad, 2 s$&t happens, and 1 serves them right.

The one bad option is that the Afghanis weren't receiving fire from the hospital, but targeted it because MSF was treating Taliban. I can understand the frustration of the Afghani Army, but that's not cricket.

The two bad luck options are either weapon failure or wrong coordinates supplied by either the ANA or US. That does suck, but maybe MSF should try moving their hospital to a grid square without Taliban.

If the MSF let the Taliban drop anchor in their hospital and those guys started firing at the ANA, even in defense, then MSF is putting themselves at extreme risk and this will happen again. So what.

Regardless, unless the President has already gotten the dump from the military, he shouldn't be apologizing.

Does odumbo ever open his mouth when he isn’t a complete embarrassment? I put this apology without having any facts in the same category as his rant after the shootings in Oregon. What a bafoooooon.

Word is that the “hospital” was a Taliban stronghold..which makes this apologetic routine even more ludicrous if the rumors are facts.

Even Jimmy Carter wasn’t THIS BIG a Buffoon!
