An independent investigation would be welcome but one of the many questions we should ask ourselves is why would the U.S. deliberately target a hospital? What is the motive for creating an international uproar?

Most likely this was a failure of the chain of command. But saying it was deliberate seems to be an imaginary stretch to me.
