Doctors Without Borders Says U.S. Guilty Of War Crimes

Posted by | October 4, 2015 23:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly War & Peace


The bombing of a hospital in Afghanistan is a war crime by the United States says Doctors Without Borders, known internationally as Médecins Sans Frontières.

MSF says it a US airstrike was to blame for the bombing that killed 22 people, which Afghan officials now claim was in retaliation for fire from Taliban fighters hiding in the hospital. President Barack Obama announced on Sunday he was launching a full investigation into the circumstances.

In a robust rejection of the allegation that Taliban fighters were sheltering in the hospital grounds, the MSF general director, Christopher Stokes, said: “Not a single member of our staff reported any fighting inside the MSF hospital compound prior to the US airstrike on Saturday morning.

“The hospital was full of MSF staff, patients and their caretakers. It is 12 MSF staff members and 10 patients, including three children, who were killed in the attack.”

Stokes reinterated the main hospital building was “repeatedly and very precisely hit during each aerial raid, while the rest of the compound was left mostly untouched”.

The charity denounced the US military investigation, which is expected to be concluded in a matter of days, as an inadequate response, and said an independent international investigation must take place.

“Under the clear presumption that a war crime has been committed, MSF demands that a full and transparent investigation into the event be conducted by an independent international body,” Stokes said. “Relying only on an internal investigation by a party to the conflict would be wholly insufficient.”

    Amazing how everyone whines and begs the USA for money and help, a bomb in a war zone is now an international incidence. We need to leave, period. Take our soldiers, money, help…everything and let’s see how the world does without us.

    • fahvel October 5th, 2015 at 03:07

      without the raised middle finger of the usa pointed at everyone, the world would have a much better chance of being more peaceful.

      • tracey marie October 5th, 2015 at 10:52

        I seriously doubt that fahvel, you need to worry about your countries messes and stop slamming the USA.

          • Nathan Hale October 6th, 2015 at 20:32

            I have dedicated my life to helping guys like coolio understand that actions have consequences. He is a liberal and believes that there aren’t any.

              Just ignore him, most do instead of stalking him.

              • Nathan Hale October 7th, 2015 at 06:19

                Again, actions have consequences. If a bully is beating up someone, do I just ignore it?

    • Jimmy Fleck October 5th, 2015 at 10:17

      I agree. We need to remove our armed forces from foreign countries. There is no reason the US should ever invade another country. We could seriously reduce the size of our military, protect our country with soldiers based at home, and use the difference in money for domestic programs. Very simply put, if you want to do business in America or with America you would have to commit to world peace. If you sponsor terrorists or have military operations in a foreign country then you could not trade with America or receive financial aid from America.

      • Robert M. Snyder October 5th, 2015 at 12:54

        “If you sponsor terrorists or have military operations in a foreign country then you could not trade with America or receive financial aid from America.”

        Iran sponsors terrorists and provides material support for military operations in foreign countries. So you’re opposed to the Iran deal?

        • Jimmy Fleck October 5th, 2015 at 13:31

          I am opposed to offering money to Iran or doing business with Iran. Whether or not other countries choose to deal with Iran should not be a decision made by the US.

          • OldLefty October 5th, 2015 at 13:44

            And yet you are OK with doing business with the Saudis?

            • Robert M. Snyder October 5th, 2015 at 14:14

              I am not naïve enough to believe that the world would be a safer place if the US disengaged. The people Putin is attacking right now in Syria may be the families of the refugees pouring into Europe.

              • OldLefty October 5th, 2015 at 14:17

                What does that have to do with Iran v Saudi?

                • Robert M. Snyder October 5th, 2015 at 14:26

                  Jimmy Fleck’s post, to which I responded, advocated disengagement. I assumed you were on board with that.

                  • OldLefty October 5th, 2015 at 14:28

                    You know what? I lost the train of thought here, and forgot to whom I was responding.
                    My problem is that I think the Saudis are worse than Iran.

                    • Robert M. Snyder October 5th, 2015 at 14:46

                      Yeah, I know what you mean. I became acquainted with an Iranian grad student at PSU, and he was a nice guy. One day we discussed Islam and Christianity. It quickly became apparent that he knew more about Christianity than I did after many years of catechism.

                      Like most people, I don’t have a lot of personal experience to go on. But my working assumption is that most Iranians and most Saudis are just like most Westerners. They love their kids and they just want to eke out a decent living. But despite decades of oil revenue, the standard of living in Saudi Arabia is pretty bad.

                      However, the world runs on alliances. If we disengage with the Saudis, somebody else (Russia, China) will have greater influence. Was Eastern Europe better off under Soviet control? Would South Korea be better off under Chinese control?

                      I’m not the best husband in the world. But I think my wife is better off with me than with some of the other guys she dated. Would the average South Korean family be better off if we had pulled our troops out of there in 1953 at the end of the Korean war?

                    • OldLefty October 5th, 2015 at 15:04

                      My experience is;

                      -My husband did a few years residency with an Iranian Jew who’s family still live in Tehran and attend the Abrishami Synagogue. You get a very different side of the story.

                      – He also works with a big group composed of a lot of Lebanese Christians. They always told me that the Christians are good with Hezbollah, because they fear the Israelis (since the war in the 80’s). I did some Googling and came found;

                      Two-thirds of Lebanon’s Christians believe Hezbollah is protecting
                      country

            • Jimmy Fleck October 5th, 2015 at 14:25

              I would have to research whether or not the Saudis are considered state sponsors of terrorism. I know most of the 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia, but I don’t think their government was shown to have supported their attack on us.

              • OldLefty October 5th, 2015 at 14:28

                The Saudis sponsor MOST of the terrorism, including 9/11.

              Fine with me then. I thought there was some money in the deal from us for their domestic nuclear energy program. If not, I don’t really care what they do in their country.

Once I figure out exactly where he works, I will make a few calls. Can’t have too many bigoted racists working for the government, we already have Obama.

              • jasperjava October 7th, 2015 at 16:29

                Ever hear of psychological projection? You call other people bigoted racists because that’s precisely what you are.

            • Nathan Hale October 7th, 2015 at 06:14

              So much stupidity. That explains 8 years of Obama. Fun fact though, the majority disagrees with every single decision he has made. That’s why you lost the House, then the Senate and now the Presidency.

              Conservatives have learned a lot from Obama in the lasr 7 years. When we get it all back, every single EO/law/decision that Obama was responsible for will be undone.

              You overreached.

              BTW, you are definitely in the minority about the President. 3/4 think the country is headed in the wrong direction and thats with a rah rah rah media cheering him on.

              • whatthe46 October 7th, 2015 at 09:16

                very FUN fact. he was voted into the presidency TWICE by the majority of the voters. fact, the GOP is a bunch of stupid twats.

                • Nathan Hale October 7th, 2015 at 16:14

                  A majority of Amerucans feel that the US is moving in the wrong direction. Thats all anyone needs to know about Obama

                  • jasperjava October 7th, 2015 at 16:27

                    That particular statistic was even worse under Bush. So that’s all we need to prove your ignorance.
                    Employment is up, consumer confidence is up, economic factors are up, it doesn’t matter that half the country are ignorant right-wing RepubliKKKan racists who will never be satisfied.

                    • Nathan Hale October 7th, 2015 at 16:47

                      And we changed the party running the Presidency. I like where your going with this.

                      I look forward to the hope and change (particularly the change). You fo realize that the Republicans have two hispanics one black and a woman running right.

                      You people got a bunch of old white guys and an alleged woman as your choice. The 1% got wealthier, the poor got poorer and the middle class is slipping into poverty under this administration. Those are some more facts. The middle class is getting decimated and your party’s answer is more of the same.

                    • jasperjava October 7th, 2015 at 18:04

                      Any poor or middle-class person who expects things to get better under the Republicans are in for a rude awakening. That lesson ought to have been clear for decades now.

                      The Republicans are the party that caters to billionaires, and no one else. Anyone who doesn’t realize that by now is woefully misinformed.

                    • Nathan Hale October 7th, 2015 at 18:16

                      Huh? The 1%ers have become even wealthier in the last 6.5 years under this President. Wealth inequality is at the levels last seen in the 19th century. More Americans are below the poverty line than in the last 40 years. Middle class annual wages have decreased $2000 since Obama took power.

                      So yes, I believe that the lessons are very clear.

                    • jasperjava October 7th, 2015 at 18:41

                      Just think how much worse all of those economic realities would have been if the Republicans had been in power. They would have let the billionaires raid the treasury, as happened under Bush. They would have rewarded the corporations with more unfunded multi-trillion-dollar wars, and to hell with the troops or the middle class.

                      The Republicans’ entire agenda is designed to enrich the wealthy and trample on everyone else. The power held by the rich and the corporations is such that the Democrats were unable or barely able to reverse the trend. But imagine if the Republicans held the door open to create a true plutocracy. We would all be enslaved to the Waltons and the Kochs and the Trumps of this world, even worse than today.

                    • Nathan Hale October 8th, 2015 at 13:59

                      Are you even listening to your rhetoric? You just said that Republicans are all about the wealthy and yet you know that the wealth gap is bigger now under Obama than at anytime since the 19th century.

                      Just so I am clear on your take on all of this, which of Obamas policies have curbed this runaway gap?

                    • jasperjava October 7th, 2015 at 21:23

                      You know, you sound a lot like Bernie Sanders.

                    • Nathan Hale October 8th, 2015 at 06:09

                      Just because Bernie is a socialist (or Democrat, even the DNC chairwoman doesn’t know the difference) doesn’t mean he always lies.

                      Besides, what’s he gonna’ say? Anyone that has the internet can verify those numbers. And not just from conservative websites.

                    • jasperjava October 8th, 2015 at 08:56

                      Well then, you ought to support Sanders. He is far more likely to take up your concerns than any Koch-backed Republican.

                    • Nathan Hale October 8th, 2015 at 13:31

                      He has a lot of ideas that are going to require a lot of money to pay for. We could tax the corporations to pay for it, they are rich right. Problem is corporations really just pass the higher tax onto the consumer (incidence of tax). He could steal it from all of those that make the money but eventually they will decide its easier to be a taker than a maker. That pretty much leaves borrowing the money. Since I am probably going to have to pay for our current national debt(boomers are getting off scot free again) I am against that idea.

                      So I don’t know, Soros back dem or Koch backed Rep. He did you know that Soros made his money by almost causing the collapse of the UK pound?

                      On the other hand, the Koch brothers have provided jobs to 10s of thousands of Americans.

                      Which way should I vote?

                      The facts are the facts. A majority of Americans think the US is headed in the wrong direction. They did under Bush too.

                      You keep posting, you make it easy.

                      BTW, if you cannot express your own ideas in your own words then you have already lost the debate.

                      Here’s the difference between you and I: I recognize that my vote brought us Bush and he was bad. You seem unable to admit that to yourself with Obama. Ask a black man or most in the middle class if they are better off now or when Bush was in charge.

                      I agreed with you, Clinton and Bush policies trashed the economy. I am just saying, and this is even backed up by MSNBC, Obama’s economy has made the 1%ers richer than they have been since the 19th century.

                      So answer these two questions:

                      1. Is the wealth gap bigger now under Obama or was it bigger under Bush?

                      2. Are more people under the poverty line now under Obama or were there more under Bush?

                      Pretty easy to answer right.

                      I was referring to his Glass-Steagall destruction and the Community Reinvestment Act that facilitated the collapse under Bush. Thats what I meant by the Clinton/Bush comment.

                      Since you have so much information, exactly which law or EO or policy did Clinton author that made the economy hum so much?

                      Also, I love the graphics you seem to think mean something.

CRA, puleeze, all it does is stop redlining(discrimination) and demand the same OPPORTUNITY for credit, not lesser standards. Stop being a liar

                      So Clinton feels bad that his poor decisions had unintended consequences? Thats why I laugh when the leftists omit some very key elements of the financial melt down that were put in motion under one of their own.

                      Both were to blame.

                      I know it makes your kind feel better when they think their side is good and the other side is bad but the reality, and you need to understand this, is they are equally in it for themselves and their own.

                      The first step is that you have to admit that Obama has been an awful President. The proof is in the middle class economy and the global mess with Putin, China and ISIS.

                      Now before you counter with the “well Bush was worse” I want to remind you that that doesn’t make Obama a good President because you are comparing him to Bush. I would say that Carter was better than Obama, see how that doesn’t hold water?

                      Don’t worry though, the right took back the house, the senate and it looks like they will take the Presidency too. Then you can complain all you want about how awful that guy is because he or she is a Republican. I see by the number of comments that you are either a paid troll or unemployed.

          I agree with everything you have said about Clintons and Bush’s economy. Still doesn’t let Obama off of the hook for the biggest wealth gap in over a century. The large numbers of Americans that slid out of the middle class into poverty, and the anemic wage increases.

          I particularly like the part of your articles that have the words “may” and “could” etc in them.

  2. rg9rts October 5th, 2015 at 05:55

    Right…. and we are going to investigate..

  3. Tim Coolio October 5th, 2015 at 09:06

    The ones most guilty are from last decade who invaded on a lie and destabilized the middle-east in the first place and blackmailed Dems to vote for it.

    • Jimmy Fleck October 5th, 2015 at 10:13

      I had no idea that Bush still controlled the armed forces of the United States and could order air strikes.

      • Tim Coolio October 5th, 2015 at 10:30

        Barack is mopping up THE MESS BUSH LEFT BEHIND!

        • Jimmy Fleck October 5th, 2015 at 10:33

          By ordering air strikes against a hospital? I think we need to take the mop out of Obama’s hands.

          • Budda October 5th, 2015 at 11:43

            You are a lying ideologue. Obama never ‘ordered’ air strikes on hospitals. Stop making stuff up.

            • Jimmy Fleck October 5th, 2015 at 11:46

              So someone in the Armed Forces below Obama ordered this air strike or the pilot just decided to fire on a hospital? Either way, Obama is the Commander in Chief and should be held responsible for the actions of the armed forces of America.

              • Budda October 5th, 2015 at 12:40

                Trying to blame Obama for a mistake made by someone multiple layers below him shows an extreme bias. Take your act over to Fox, they might buy it.

                • arc99 October 5th, 2015 at 14:55

                  especially when they claim he deserves zero credit for the success of personnel who are multiple layers below him, e.g. the Bin Laden mission.

                    He’s responsible for the mess in the M.E., except for killing bin-Laden, because that was our proud, beloved Seal Team Six…he’s the reason gas is now $6.00 a gallon, except it’s not and so he has nothing to do with the price of gas…he’s responsible for Police officer deaths being on the rise, except that they are actually going down and we’ll get back to you on that as soon as the boys can think up some reason why fewer officer deaths put us at greater risk…he’s responsible for the massive influx of Mexicans and others from the south, except that deportations are up under President Obama and that has to be some sort of evil Democrat number crunching like they did with the national debt which is all important except when it isn’t and deficits don’t matter and…and…http://cdn0.dailydot.com/uploaded/images/original/2014/7/15/scanners4.gif

                      don’t forget the Texas BBQ House incident! It’s keeping POTUS Obama at a low 142% on my POTUS performance chart.

                      and another thing about the gas prices. use to be I could prepay and come pretty close to filling up. Since Obama dropped the price below $2.00 a gallon, I’ve been over estimating and wind up wasting my time going back inside to get change! and that’s all Obama’s fault! – except when one of them pretty little senoritas is going inside…

              • OldLefty October 5th, 2015 at 13:46

                That’s what they said when they bombed the hotels in Iraq where journalists were known to be staying.

              • jasperjava October 5th, 2015 at 14:18

                President Obama IS taking responsibility by ordering an investigation. I have no doubt that the President will act upon the results of that investigation and punish those who are culpable while making appropriate restitution to the victims.
                Compare that to Dubya, who did nothing to stop US war crimes such as torture and attacks on civilians, and actually ORDERED some of these atrocities.

              • tracey marie October 5th, 2015 at 14:30

                You do not even hold bush responsible for any of his actions of deceit and stupidity, 9-11 and Iraq as well as the economic collaspe.

          • tracey marie October 5th, 2015 at 14:31

            “the mop” what does that mean…that he is attempting to mop up bush/repub messes or he is nothing more then a janiter?

        • Jimmy Fleck October 5th, 2015 at 14:19

          Sorry – I refuse to believe that we need to still be bombing anything in the region. Yes Bush screwed things up. That does not mean that Obama is not responsible for the actions of our armed forces now. Cut off the money. Protect our own country here and leave others to figure out how they want to run their countries.

          • Hirightnow October 5th, 2015 at 15:59

              Not wanting to invade other countries is not the same as isolationism. I am all in favor of trading with countries that want to behave peacefully. If other countries want to have civil wars within their borders then let them settle it and see if the resulting government wants to act like adults.

      I could care less if any of them feel bad or admit they efed up. I hired them to be the leader of this great nation, the least they could do is stop screwing over the middle class.

      1%ers have increased the wealth gap over the last 6 years more than at any time since the 19th century.

      I am sure that Obama is sorry for that.
