Useless bloody Americans!!!

I told you all that the Americans couldn't accurately hit a barn door at ten paces. This proves my point - they've managed to bomb a hospital run by Medecins Sans frontiere, killed three of the staff and another thirty odd are still missing. Didn't they do well (not!!!).

Sadly this is what happens in war bullets and bombs don't differentiate between the good guys and the bad. It could have easily been us who bombed them if we had been bombing the area.

That is really terrible, I thought they couldn’t miss with these new million dollar smart bombs they have now, supposed to be able to knock a cigar outa your mouth from half a mile up, a load of baloney if you ask me.

Smart bombs are guided to the target by forces on the ground aren't they?

Useless bloody Americans!!!
Don't just have a go at the Americans UJ be fair and blame useless Blair the war criminal who with Bush was responsible for our intervening in the politics of Afghanistan in the first place in the mistaken belief that the country harboured the hierarchy of Al Qaeda .

The Americans are now trying to shore up the Afghan government which they helped to install against an advancing Taliban who predictably are moving back in now 'the invaders' have retreated.

There are conflicting reports that the Taliban were hiding in the hospital . This may be true but it goes against the rules of war that you do not attack medical facilities, the wounded and civilians.
Sadly this ruling appears to have been ignored on occasion by all sided in Afghanistan.

Do not worry Doc, if they aim at the 'enemy' they might just hit the White House'. Aiming is not what they are good at!
