US and Afghan forces, backed by a US Apache helicopter attacked a medical clinic in the Paktika Province of Afghanistan yesterday after receiving reports that a wounded Taliban commander had “sought treatment” at the facility. The attack sparked a gunbattle which according to provincial officials left at least 12 militants and two policemen killed. The US denied that anyone had died in the attack but claimed to have injured their target, though since he was already injured in the first place it’s probably hard to be sure about that. The US defended the attack on the clinic, insisting that it had ensured the building was cleared of civilians before the helicopter began firing and that since the clinic was occupied by Taliban it lost “its protected status” as a civilian location. The Pakitika Province borders Pakistan’s Waziristan Agencies, and is no stranger to major clashes. Attacking a medical clinic, however, particularly when health care is in such short supply in rural Afghanistan, is likely to fuel resentment among locals. Likewise, the attack on a relatively minor Taliban commander when he was already injured and seeking medical treatment is probably going to raise further suspicions as the Afghan government continues to talk about reconciliation.

Article 14 of the Geneva Convention: In time of peace, the High Contracting Parties and, after the outbreak of hostilities, the Parties thereto, may establish in their own territory and, if the need arises, in occupied areas, hospital and safety zones and localities so organized as to protect from the effects of war, wounded, sick and aged persons, children under fifteen, expectant mothers and mothers of children under seven. No where in the article does it state that if a medical facility treats a wounded enemy combatant they will lose their protected status. This is the U.S. government once again showing the world that they believe that they are above any law. To paraphrase the neocon doctrine with which Obama and his supporters have embraced, "we make our own laws to go along with out own reality."

And the O'Tards rejoiced at the blood shed.
Ain't it amazing? When Bush was in office he was roundly condemned (and rightfully so) by good people everywhere for stuff like this. But where are the Obamatards when it is their guy doing the same stuff? Not a peep. Shameful and despicable hypocrites.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. It took a while, and there was some pain, but as it turns out the Os were either plants, or did a political 180 when the Overlord appeared on the scene. This forum has been totally vindicated. Hypocrites and plants are indeed the right words.
Just as predicted by many of us prior to the election.

God help us. I recognize this policy. It's Israel's butcher mentality. Aside: "The purpose of the legal system is to protect the elites from the wrath of those they plunder.- Elliott Jackalope" - amen to that
The funny thing about it--if any of it is funny--is that none of them seem to be ashamed of pushing for that scumbag Kenyan to be president. I guess it is true that it would be easier to shame a hog than it would some people.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Yes. I was willing to give younger people who voted for the con man the benefit of the doubt. You know how idealistic they can be and how naive. But if they are ever going to wake up they better start pretty soon. And I was never willing to cut any slack to people who should have known better for voting for that cretin commie Kenyan.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Yeah, seems to be.
