When the attack came, the first target was Falluja General Hospital. The New York Times explained why: "The offensive also shut down what officers said was a propaganda weapon for the militants: Falluja General Hospital, with its stream of reports of civilian casualties." If there were no hospital, there would be no visible casualties; if there were no visible casualties, there would be no international outrage, and all would be well.

civilian targets

what's next, targeting elementary schools?

it's funny how the u.s. is often the first country to point its finger at another country when they violate the "rules of war", but apparently those laws don't apply to the u.s.

It's beyond satire.
