Greatest Loss of Civilian Life Since 2014, Story Is Strike Inadvertently Hit Explosives

[Idaeo]

A U.S. airstrike conducted March 17 killed more than 100 Iraqi civilians in Mosul, the Pentagon confirmed Thursday, noting the strike inadvertently set off explosives planted in the building by the Islamic State.

“The investigation determined that ISIS emplaced a large amount of explosive material in a structure containing a significant number of civilians and then attacked Iraqi forces from the structure,” the Pentagon said in a statement.

The airstrike was conducted as part of the Iraqi government’s continued efforts to expel ISIS from western Mosul, the country’s second-largest city. The Pentagon said the Iraqis requested the airstrike, which aimed to destroy the top floor of a building that held two ISIS snipers. The blast prompted the “detonation of a large amount of explosive material,” which caused the building to collapse, the statement said.

Something about this story sounds off to me.

isis (and this is a weird fukkin thing to say ) needs to do a better job expressing why they do what they do

now obviously western media would suppress this. but maybe if more americans watched these dudes say "hey. the reason we do this is because america is constantly bombing and killing our families. what happened in *insert attack* is what we experience on a daily basis, so this is a taste of your own medicine", we would question our "biggest military ever!!!!" and ask our politicians what that really means

because if this is the reason that they do what they do, then theres no arguing with it. now if the shyt is really about the spread of their version of islam (and part of it is), then its just . but theres no denying that these people have a legitimate grievance with the west

More like that's what happens when you're not inundated by the stimuli of MsM, and can actually be an objective thinker and not a bipedal sheep or troll. WikiLeaks Proves Hillary & Obama Created ISIS in 2012

The thing is I'm not. This has already been debunked. This is what I'm talking about.
