Susannah Sirkin, Boston Globe: Assad and Russia’s bombing of hospitals isn’t an accident — it’s a strategy

Airstrikes rained down on al-Iman Specialized Hospital for Women and Children on Aug. 31 in the battered Aleppo province of Syria. Six consecutive attacks injured three people and forced the evacuation of newborn babies – still in their incubators.

This type of grim scene has played out again and again during the eight-year-long Syrian conflict, a conflict defined by Syrian and Russian government attacks on civilian targets like hospitals and schools.

  1. Interesting article.

    There is an old saying, "Good is evil seen from the other side" written by Les Misérables author Victor Hugo.

    If you want to find a way to end inbound terrorism I suggest that perhaps ending outbound terrorism might help, although, that certainly would be counter productive to the MIC folk's objectives.

  5. I would suggest parrot read the following book.

    The Pirate Coast: Thomas Jefferson, the First Marines, and the Secret Mission of 1805

    Alas the parrot's lexile score is low. If for some reason the parrot did read and comprehend some of the book, he would soon forget it and go back to his daily Democrat talking point memos. I have great faith that parrot could not read and comprehend the book "The Pirate Coast". You are that far gone.

    Your typical infected liberal, when told of Muslim raids as far away as Ireland and Iceland, are like "So?".

    The point of a craven wretch like Bob is that he is the poster boy for Mathew 7:5. I believe that he does so out of cowardice rather than stupidity.

  8. DemocRATS Proposes Final Solution For Homeless Problem – Bus Homeless People Out Of The City

  9. European Carmakers Face Perfect Storm

    What amazes me is how brilliant liberals are. Scintillating!

    The adopted (purloined?) the notion of intersection from 10th grade geometry. Super advanced stuff. They call it intersectionality.

    Maybe some day in the near future say in a few years (3 to 5?) after the ocean swallows up Miami according to brain trust of the DNC, AOC, the retards ( I mean super smart Einsteins), learn adopt the concept of constraints.

    Maybe after they learn what a constraint is, they might in a 100 years learn that you can put so many constraints on a problem that it is intractable and there is no solution.

    Okay, so I am pulling ya all's leg. It will take much, much longer than a 100 years.

  10. with due respect, good you do not have your own site. You are not very good at doing much. If bussing homeless is not good, then what then is the solution to our homelsss population...the many homeless vets? and should not there be programs at THE FEDERAL LEVEL? many are homeless bedcause of cutbacks that provided health, treatment, etc for those who, lacking help, became homeless. All it takes is major medical bills for many to lose financial support. To point to one city is plain dumb.
    Trump administration officials confirmed Tuesday they are on the ground in California looking at ways to intervene in the state’s mounting homelessness issue, which President Donald Trump has criticized as “disgusting” and a “disgrace to our country.”

    But many elected officials and homelessness experts in the Golden State said any White House assistance would be disingenuous given federal housing cuts have helped exacerbate the problem. Some also accused Trump of using the homelessness issue to win over conservative supporters ahead of the 2020 election.

    “We need federal support and resources to build more housing for people living on the streets," San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a statement. “But simply cracking down on homelessness without providing the housing people need is not a real solution.”

  11. Liberals have this political theory that they have been quite successful after adopting.

    You do not need brains.

    You do not need talent.

    You just need chutzpah.

  12. "many are homeless bedcause of cutbacks that provided health, treatment, etc for those who, lacking help, became homeless."

    That is as much as a canard as saying people cannot go to college, because they cannot afford it.

    It is a liberal myth.

    ***

    Maybe you ought to argue with the LA Country Register or the rag, the LA Times?

    The homeless crisis got much, much worse under the gentle ministrations of that scoundrel Obama, the all caring and bad results.

    I would ask you to read the articles, but it is a waster of time. You have no facility to read charts. Math is hard for you.

  17. Dopey Democrat Says “Miami Will Not Exist” in Few Years if We Don’t Obliterate Economy with Her Green New Deal

    "What is not realistic is Miami not existing in a few years. That’s not realistic. So we need to be realistic about the problem." - Occasional Cortex

    A few is more than a couple, but not as many as several.

    Couple means 2; few means 3, and several means "four or more."

    Seven years definitely means several years and is more than a few years.

    So the Great Prognosticator and Humanitarian and All-Around-Good-Democrat Occasional Cortex (AOC) predicts Miami will be gone.

    So, if you are an honest Democrat (Ø), you should be short selling Miami REITS, now.

    The Seattle fascists should go forward with this purge.

    For starters we can't stop them. Sure we will eventually win, but in the meantime let the NAZIs self-document their crimes against humanity.

    When it fails and this ethnic cleansing will fail, we'll have yet another "We told you so!".

    Let's get real If either party cannot afford $163, they cannot afford or will not put up with the deportee.

    Trump will help solve this problem, while Democrats continue to drool hoping to rule.

    The Trump administration provided safe haven for anti-LGBT groups and individuals throughout the year, with a particular onslaught on transgender people in 2018. Anti-LGBT evangelical groups continue to enjoy unprecedented access to the White House and are intimately involved in forging public policy.

  20. The parrot is not the smart and is certainly a partisan.

    Migrants disappeared?

    That is loaded language, but Mr Fred Lapides certainly does not mind parroting it.

    Disappeared means the government murdered them. The US did not murder them.

    If you want to get real Fred, you would sell your 2,000 or 3,000 foot crap shack and downscale to a 800 foot one bedroom house and send the rest of your money to some charity, but you don't do that? Why? Because you are a Freaking Hypocrite.

    How many many people are we willing to take-in Fred? 100 million? 200 million? 500 million? 1 billion?

    You don't say.

    What is the rate that we take them in? 5 million per year, 10 million/year? 20 million/ year?

    I remember visiting Guatemala and seeing 12 year-olds with kids. I am suppose to feel sorry for them, when those people I saw probably already have great children already? Nothing better than seeing their children or grandchildren getting affirmative action ahead of yours, because mommy went boom boom every night.

    Still every sane person would make a fair offer. We would trade any and every US libtard for a Latino from south of the border sight unseen for a trade. The US would make out like bandits. Liberals are that stupid and that much of a burden and drag on America.

    I've been to your website. I have not been to it in 6 months or so. There is nothing there except dilettante postings and pictures of nude women (Hustler Style). I do mean dilettante. You earned your nickname of parrot honestly. Just today you blamed the homelessness problem in California on Trump, because you are too stupid to read a graph or do research.

  21. "The Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General has launched an investigation after a hand-drawn swastika was found inside the agency's Washington headquarters on Friday, the agency confirmed."

    And?

    We do not know what it means if anything.

    It could have been drawn by a visitor, maintenance, janitorial staff, or a visiting congressional aide.

    Do people have a right to be upset? Yes.

    Do they have a right to want to investigate it? Yes

    Do they have a right to leap to conclusions or make accusations? No.

    It could have been drawn by a liberal congressional aid as a false flag. If this is the case you will be off to the races onto the next outrage hollering at anyone bringing up the past.

    In my work place I am dismayed to note that people scrawl graffiti of 424 and accuse others of being Democrat (liking little boys).

  23. When George Washington left the presidency in 1797, he was looking forward to some relaxation—returning to Mount Vernon and the pastoral life that had been distant during his time as president. But Washington was a man of innovation, who rarely let an opportunity slip by—and when he hired a Scottish plantation manager in 1797, Washington added another line to his resume: whiskey seller.
    Washington also kept slaves and raised hemp...

    You hated John Bolton and now you are unhappy to see him leave. All you care about is an angle to try to get trump. I think your father was Wiley E. Coyote. It would explain a lot.

  25. Washington did not make nor did he sell whiskey till after he was no longer president. And even if he had, he was an an outstanding leader who devoted his full time to his job, not like Moron-in-Chief, to packing people into his hotels and doing all things possible to enrich himself. I did not hate Bolton. I simply disliked his views on foreign policy. You like him? Your master finally did not.

    Some of those booking at Trump's Hotel are by conservative groups. They are doing it to support the president much as they eat a Chick-fil-A to support it.

    Both Chick-fil-A and Trump have been boycotted by liberals. The conservative booking are a reaction to the fascists goose steppers of the Left.

    I do like your shiny black goose stepping boots BTW.

    If Trump wants hold a meeting with world leaders at one of his resorts that would be good. I want him comfortable in his surrounding so he can take Putin for everything he has.

    You do not. You want Trump stressed out so Putin gets the upper hand.
