#1 School children? How old were they? Were they kindergartners or were they older boys in a madrassa?

#2 Simply amazing how quickly and accurately they are able to know civilian death tolls.

As soon as a terrorist hits the ground, they take his AK47 away and voila.. pfffft...he becomes a civilian.

This also begs the question... how come every terrorist hideout and training camp is full of women and children??

me thinks ENEMY PROPAGANDA

#3 Been like that for a long time, and our "Stuperior In Chief" doesn't get it.

#4 a factor in the problem is that the US will pay a family/village/tribe some serious (for them) $$$ if we kill a civi, but not a dime for a jihadi. so it is in the locals financial interest for as many dead bodies as possible (and any goats or dogs that can be buried before officials can get eyes on) to be 'civilians'.
