The Guardian: Doctors Without Borders airstrike: US alters story for fourth time in four days
Commander of war in Afghanistan tells Senate panel that US forces had called in airstrike at Afghan request – ‘an admission of a war crime’ says MSF chief
US special operations forces – not their Afghan allies – called in the deadly airstrike on the Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, the US commander has conceded.
Shortly before General John Campbell, the commander of the US and Nato war in Afghanistan, testified to a Senate panel, the president of Doctors Without Borders – also known as Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) – said the US and Afghanistan had made an “admission of a war crime”.

Which is good thing ..
1) Jihadist have used mosques as arsenals, bases and sniper platforms, why would they not use hospitals.
2) Doctors without Borders should be disbanded, because it is a terrorist organization.
3) Afghanistan should be left to the tender mercies of China and Russia. Without the U.S. arming any "rebels" Russia should win this time. They almost won last time. It would teach a lot of people some lessons in the Muslim and Western words.

I agree with #3 .. the other 2 wouldn't exist if not for us .. i would use any cover to fight off invaders ..
Well all,
It's day three now, and General Campbell is now floating the sixth different US version of the event.
Maybe if they lie enough, eventually they will get to some version of the truth.
But I doubt it.
