    Lol what a pathetic taunt.

    Edit for the ultra daft downvote crew: the fact the US killed civilians is directly relevant to the blub i responded to, the one claiming the US was bettter than Israel because it did not kill civilians.

    For the extra determined ignoramouses ive provided this as an example :

        Your link to the definition of ‘avoid’?

        I avoided nothing. I addressed the issue directly.

        The USA kills civilians.

        Israel does at a much faster rate. A genocidal one in fact.

        But that does not give any creedence to the notion the USA is innocent.

          Now you’re moving the goalpost. Dude, just admit your wrong. The US goes to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties.

              I have actually. I also saw the unedited version WikiLeaks was really hoping nobody would see.

                  Because it was a running gun fight. The Army also released it’s After Action report showing there was in fact RPGs there. Now I’m not saying the reporters were bad guys, but they clearly embedded with an anti coalition militia. That carries the same risk of getting killed as embedding with coalition forces.

                    you’re saying embedded journalists are civillians, but the us doesn’t try to avoid killing them? seems like you owe the other commenter an apology.
