As Russia Controls Syria, Obama Bombs ‘Doctors Without Borders’ Hospital
President Obama called the head of Doctors Without Borders Wednesday to apologize for the errant US airstrike on the group’s hospital facility in Kunduz, Afghanistan, which killed 22 people.
EDITOR’S NOTE: As is any further proof was needed of the horrific mismatch between Putin and Obama, this is it. As Putin is launching cruise missile strikes on ISIS and taking control of the Middle East, Obama finds himself apologizing for bombing a hospital run by the Doctors Without Borders humanitarian organization.
An airstrike hit a hospital run by Medecins Sans Frontieres in the Afghan city of Kunduz on Saturday, killing at least 16 people in what the U.S. military called possible “collateral damage” in the battle to oust Taliban insurgents.
Frantic MSF staff phoned military officials at NATO in Kabul and Washington after the attack, and bombs continued to rain down near the medical facility for nearly an hour, one official from the aid group said.
Among the victims were 12 of the organization’s staffers. The nonprofit has called the attack a war crime and is demanding an independent investigation.
Obama “offered his heartfelt apology,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said.
The group’s president, Joanne Liu, said in Switzerland, “If we let this go as if it was a nonevent, we are basically giving a blank check to any countries who are at war.”
Almost 200 patients and employees were in the hospital, the only one in the region that can deal with major injuries, said Medecins Sans Frontieres, which raised the death toll to at least 16 by late on Saturday.
“We are deeply shocked by the attack, the killing of our staff and patients and the heavy toll it has inflicted on healthcare in Kunduz,” operations director Bart Janssens said in a statement.
