BBC – COALITION AIRSTRIKES IN SYRIA RESULT IN HIGH CIVILIAN DEATH TOLL: That’s the claim. 56 civilians killed in US-led strikes. The airstrikes are supporting operations by an “alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters called the Syrian Defence Forces (SDF).” The area is held by Islamic State fighters. Will we hear “peace activists” accuse the Obama Administration of murder? I doubt it. Dissent is no longer the highest form of patriotism.
