wheres the beef?
Wheres the evidence of this horrific allegation? Behind a paywall of propaganda.
Dont want Americans feeling guilty about killing children. Any at all.
By the logic of
but the terrorist was using his family as a shield
where else would a man with a family live?
By that logic the glorious Pentagon should have wiped out the entire town, it was sheltering him also.
If its not logical, its propaganda.

It would be a hole in the ground.
It's not the first time terrorist have used women and children as shields.
This was a evil man and I'm glad he is gone.

I will repeat what I said in another post...We as Americans would not be ok with another country's military coming into OUR country and taking out one that they deem are terrorists. We would NOT stand for it.
And yet, we do it quite consistently. You will notice, however, that it's always some "small" country that we have no fear of "militarily".
We never send troops into China or Russia because we are nothing more than the big bully on the block.
IMO, we have no right sending military forces into another country to "take out" terrorists. We have enough here at home to deal with. Rant off.

Even candidates running now, shouting lock and load at voting precincts. How many have died this past year from trump nuts and racists white assholes? We need to clean our own back yard.
