2:04 am
isis deliberately chose to use it as a command and control center lot of first time they hit the mosque which stopped being a mosque packed with people the incident near aleppo springs to mind yes the coalition takes all reports of civilian casualties seriously investigates for months or years writes an apology note when everyone's forgotten and moved on almost always the terrorists fault yes the u.s. is fighting terrorists in syria but it was never invited to it invited itself then to be able to say good job boys we beat isis it should be formally announced sometime probably next week that we will have one hundred percent of the caliphate . but i want to wait for the official word and i want to say too early we have won

against isis we've beaten them and we've beaten them badly now we've won you could in that vacuum see a resurgence of isis see a resurgent you know they're winning out we'll come back if we have to with a middle east expert believe so the u.s. has changed his tactics to justify its current methods. what we know for sure that the americans showed disregard for human life and for infrastructure what is happening this time around is that previously they would say you know we would punch an investigation whenever a tool of civilians and lives were lost nowadays they seem to have a pretty preset justification so for example yesterday they bombed a mosque in the same village. and they've issued a statement that we bombed a former mosque which started this because he was turned by a dietitian to a command and control center so now they've come prepared. for whatever criticism
