War crime? Hospital bombing ordered by Green Berets

In other words, you were responding to an "assertion" that was never actually made by anyone.

 

Shame the government didn't feel that way.

 

Yes. Well also we are slow in legalizing gay marriage. Once that happens, can't see how the Middle East wouldn't love us.

 

Yes it is.

 

Don't know if this was the case, but if they were taking fire from the building, then it was a legitimate military target. Law of armed conflict and rules of engagement support that.

 

The Saudis don[t give a fuck:

A "projectile" struck a clinic supported by international medical group Medecins Sans Frontieres in north Yemen on Sunday, killing four people, MSF said, another in a series of attacks on its facilities in the war-torn country.

MSF said it was not clear who was behind the attack that also wounded 10 other people in Shiara Hospital in the Razeh district, where the group has worked since November last year.

In a statement on its Twitter account, MSF did not identify who was killed in the attack but said that three of the wounded were staff members, of whom two were in critical condition.

"This is the third severe incident in the last 3 months. Our teams struggle on a daily basis to ensure the respect of health facilities," MSF wrote. An earlier tweet by the group described the projectile as a rocket.

Regional MSF operations chief Raquel Ayora said all warring parties are regularly informed of the GPS coordinates of the medical sites where the group works, and that MSF was in constant dialogue with them.

"There is no way that anyone with the capacity to carry out an air strike or launch a rocket would not have known that the Shiara Hospital was a functioning health facility providing critical services and supported by MSF," she said.

MSF said Saudi-led air strikes hit another of its health facilities elsewhere in the province in October last year, wrecking the building and lightly wounding two staff members.

The Saudis don't fear retaliation by Ethiopia, er, Yemen. International courts may adjudicate Law of War violations, but where they get enforced is on the battlefield. If your side starts butchering people in a way that is outside the accepted norm, the other side starts killing your people in similar fashion to express their displeasure.
