57. and I recommend looking back at the photos of the children we killed in Iraq

- when we bombed them. And photos of the kids we're killing in Afghanistan and elsewhere now. All of those were and are supposed to be "targeted" strikes too.

If my child is dead, do you think I'm going to care if it was Assad or the US who killed him or her? Pretending this is about innocent children is just that - pretending. You don't bomb kids to save them.

Assad is the one using the chemical missiles and the napalm Tx4obama Aug 2013 #19
