WASHINGTON (AP) — The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan says the recent airstrike on a hospital in the northern city of Kunduz was a mistake.
Gen. John Campbell tells the Senate Armed Services Committee that it was a U.S. decision to conduct the airstrikeand that the hospital was “mistakenly struck.”
Campbell’s testimony came three days after the airstrike on the medical clinic killed at least 22 people and wounded dozens more.
The clinic was operated by the medical charity Doctors Without Borders.
Campbell said Monday that the airstrike was requested by Afghan forces who reported being under Taliban fire.

Yeah, just like Jeb! says, stuff happens. Now, somebody please provide the coordinates to that Afghan wedding celebration I’ve been hearing about. We need to make sure we don’t make any mistakes…
How could that be? Obama says, over and over, that everything we hit is a targeted, “surgical”, pinpoint accuracy strike. The USA has spectacular military weapons, computers, radar, etc., and they wipe out a Doctors’ Without Borders hospital after the hospital provides the USA military many times with its location. So, who is lying here? They can’t all be right. Or all they all lying (my choice of answer).
You got it right, all of them are lying. Would love to see Bush and Obama behind bars one day in the future. It will never happen but it will be their legacies as war criminals.
And now we can add the TPP or Trade Terrorism Partnership to Obama’s legacy.
Russia has launched cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea and hit targets inside Syria which means those missiles must have over flown either Iran or Turkey or both. Was either informed of the over flight?
