    I have no idea what you mean.
    I posted a news item about the US coalition killing civilians in Ghandura and you responded - tit for tat?
    I don't get it.

    Please explain yourself.

    I said before, I have no dog in this fight.
    I am against bombing innocent civilians no matter who is responsible.
    I am fully aware that Assad and Russia have bombed several hospitals, schools and civilian areas.
    This thread is about the US coalition tho.

    How about stay within your own borders and defend yourself from there.

    And when attacked inside your own border what just sit there and take it ,

    Like the way the Iraqis were attacked?

    Or what happens when it's people can't defend themselves from a group like Isis .

    Now isis are based in iraq/Syria, who attacked those countries first? When attacked inside their own borders what should they do? "Just sit there and take it"?

    But Isis isn't a country it's a terrorist group and knows no borders as seen in France , Germany and Belgium .

    This happens and yet Obama gets praised and called an amazing orator etc. And people still listen to the bullsh*t from Crooked Hillary Clinton and Obama who have been in the power structure of America for nearly 8 years. It is like people are just sheep. Programmed robots to vote how the system tells them to vote.

    Obama is black, so you must vote for him. Hillary is a woman, so you must vote for her.

    Obama is the President, should he not be held accountable for such sheer horror? At least make him explain how this happened.

    It's where they originated after the bombing campaign. But yeah let's put our heads in the sand and pretend the illegal invasion of Iraq and the bombing of its civilians by the west and the sanctions that killed thousands of kids had nothing to do with their rise :rolleyes:

    Are still complaining about what others are doing in other countries then demanding the thread stays on topic ,

    But to answer your question about Mali aka operation serval ( if I'm correct) they are there under the invitation of the Malian government ,

    See invited

    Perhaps, equally important, what is the definition of a good terrorist and a bad terrorist?
    https://www.rt.com/usa/314034-petraeus-nusra-front-isis/

    Former Army general and CIA director David Petraeus has been urging US officials to consider using the Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front to fight ISIS in Syria, The Daily Beast reported.
    Petraeus has been discreetly urging US officials to consider using "moderate" members of Al-Nusra Front to fight Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Syria, the website reported, citing four sources familiar with conversations – including one person who reportedly spoke to Petraeus directly.

    The French government where asked by the Malian government to send troops to help fight Islamists in the north of the country.

    How is been invited by a government not respecting borders,

    You haven't thought this through

    Or, isis could be seen as a group of people who were attacked within their own borders and reacted as they seen fit.
