No one wants to say this but kids do die in wars. So do women and civilians. Cold as it may seem, these basically boil down to policy decisions. This operation went poorly although a true judgement of its wisdom or foolishness would require a more in-depth analysis than we'll see here.

That said, while I might give Trump the benefit of the doubt, if it were Obama or Clinton, there'd already be a GOP congressional investigation underway and every right-wing website from here to Kalamazoo would be running a picture of that sweet-faced little girl.

He'd despise them anyway. But, yes, the headline is inaccurate.

Given this type of tabloid monster hunting...He has good reason to despise them.

Inaccurate by design. Editors know that readers rarely read past the first paragraph, that's why they've come to depart from traditional journalistic structure in reporting. They bury pertinent facts far down the column knowing few will ever go there. They lead / mislead with a bias confirming falsehood essentially MAKING news as opposed to reporting news. This is tabloid bullsh!t, no different from Ancient Aliens, or Hunting Bigfoot.

But that's ok right Two? Cause it's a means to an end.

My memory may fail me, but I don't recall any republican investigations into Obama's drone killing of U.S. Citizens in Yemen.

Terrorists bring their children to the battlefield, and therein lies the blame. Fu@k em and feed em fish heads. Neither Obama nor Trump should be blamed for such collateral damage.

The key here is that it is not inaccurate by accident. That is not journalism. I hate to use the term being bandied about for it because I dislike it so much but damn it, journalists for big outlets used to be better than this.

Don't get me wrong, I know there have always been editorial leans to different outlets. Most of the reputable ones though did not stoop this far into the muck.

I agree.

Yet, how many years did we spend "investigating" four dead Americans in Benghazi? Now ask yourself how long Congressional Republicans spent investigating 3,000 dead Americans on 9/11. Perish the thought that there may be a double standard for Democrats.

There is an inhumane sickness in a mind that is so rotten and beyond repair that the holder of such would look at this kid in the ambulance or dead children that should be playing instead of dying horribly that then go on and seek to ignore the pain for purposes that defy all concepts of decency.

Disgusting. Every bit as bad as those that caused this level of evil.

It's ironic that people who routinely question the motives and methods of the press believe anything and everything from random YouTubers and moonbat bloggers who never leave their basements.

No one brought kids to the battlefield in Aleppo. They were living there. Assad, armed and supported by Russia, bombed the snot out of civilians. Blame should lie there.

Yet no investigations of Obama killing US citizens like you claimed they would?

No. It's mostly a city full of civilians getting bombed to hell.

Hillary Clinton Sues Satan - Wants Her Soul Back

Lawyers for Hillary Clinton today announced that they are initiating legal action against Satan for breach of contract.

They are demanding that he return the soul of Hillary Clinton who was promised the highest office in the land for her soul.

Satan's representative, George Soros, declared that the promise was made in New York City and that she will have to settle for mayor - which is the highest office in New York City....

Are you trolling? or genuinely not understanding? These are civilians being killed in their homes by air raids and shelling. No one "brought them to the battlefield".
