B-b-b-but what about Aleppo? Hundreds of thousands of babies were butchered by Assad right?
Ramadi Iraq was almost at Hiroshima levels of destruction after the latest US bombing campaign. The Syrian town on the border of Turkey, Kobani, totally flattened by US bombs. Now I believe that’s justified to fight ISIS. So do some of the non-ISIS supporters who got their homes blown up and are still alive. Others may not feel that way.
The issue is how the MSM has a dishonest propaganda narrative that evil Syrian and Russian bombs only kill innocent babies but US bombings of cities are never criticized and barely mentioned. Occasionally, the US liberal globalist media whines about some specific bomb that killed some people, but they treat it as an aberration and they still avoid discussing the over all picture.
It creates a distorted perception among the American public about how the rest of the world sees these conflicts. And that distorted perception feeds into support for bad policy decisions.
When this ISIS unpleasantness is over, we need to get out of Iraq and Syria and not destabilize Syria again. Without the destabilization of Syria with billions worth of weapons and training for rebels, ISIS would never have emerged as a powerful army controlling it’s own territory.
“Without the destabilization of Syria with billions worth of weapons and training for rebels, ISIS would never have emerged as a powerful army controlling it’s own territory.”
That, and then pulling the US Troops out of Iraq and throwing that larger and wealthier country to the dogs.
It is true that the propaganda folks will always stick dead baby photos into the public’s face, to try to get their enemy to lose their will to fight, and gain victory that way.
It is tough business, and men must steel themselves to do what must be done, when evil is on the march.
