Newly obtained Pentagon documents show that the US air wars in the Middle East have been marked by "deeply flawed intelligence" and resulted in thousands of civilian deaths, including many children, the New York Times reported Saturday.
It said a trove of confidential documents covering more than 1,300 reports of civilian casualties undercuts the government's portrayal of a war fought with precision bombs.
Pledges of transparency and accountability, it said, had regularly fallen short.
"Not a single record provided includes a finding of wrongdoing or disciplinary action," the paper reported in what it said was the first of a two-part series.
While several of the cases mentioned by the Times have been previously reported, it said its investigation showed that the number of civilian deaths had been "drastically undercounted," by at least several hundred.
- Surveillance flaws -
Among three cases cited was a July 19, 2016 bombing by US special forces of what were believed to be three Islamic State group staging areas in northern Syria. Initial reports were of 85 fighters killed. Instead, the dead were 120 farmers and other villagers.
Another example was a November 2015 attack in Ramadi, Iraq after a man was seen dragging "an unknown heavy object" into an Islamic State position. The "object," a review found, was a child, who died in the strike.
Poor or inadequate surveillance footage often contributed to deadly targeting failures, the report said.
More recently, the United States had to retract its claim that a vehicle destroyed by a drone on a Kabul street in August had contained bombs. Victims of the strike, it turned out, were 10 members of a family, including children.
Above are the few paragraphs of a report by AFP revealing the lies of American attacks against the Muslims and Arabs in the Middle East. All the spurious and exaggerated claims of precision bombings and not hitting or killing civilians are a pack of lies to deceive themselves and the rest of the world. How could they go strutting around bragging about protection Muslims in Xinjiang and thinking that the Muslims and Arabs would be so stupid to believe in their fabricated lies over and over again?
The evil Americans have been deceiving the Muslims and Arabs for centuries and killing them for centuries in undeclared wars, illegal wars, wars based on lies and so called poor intelligence reports.
Finally the Muslim and Arab world has woken up and would not be the victims of the West and American aggression against their countries and people. The latest mischievous and insulting trip by Blinken to Indonesia and Malaysia in an attempt to lie to them about how the Americans were trying to protect the Muslims in Xinjiang from genocide met with a stone wall. Both the Indonesians and Malaysians showed him a little courtesy but politely told him to go home. The Thais simply told Blinken don't bother to with the visit.
This is the latest snub in a continuous series of rejections the evil Americans are facing all over the world, including in Europe and the UN. The days of committing crimes against the world, against humanity, against the Arabs and Muslims would no longer be tolerated.
No more white men's lies. The people of the world are not stupid.

They should make a placque of this with his statue and place in arab countries to remind everyone that America is the greatest.
The USA would not even come clean on Vietnam through their use of biological weapons during the Vietnam War, that is causing many children born deformed, even generations down, from those parents affected by Agent Orange.
And they had the audacity and shameless attitude to attempt to turn Vietnam against China. How pathetic are these vile, evil and immoral people.
However much fake loving and care for the Uyghurs in Xinjiang is not going to sway the Islamic world against China. In fact they are adding insult to injury by banning exports from Xinjiang, the livelihood of the Uyghurs. If others can see the disguised evil action, the Uyghurs are not ignorant and the Islamic world is not blind.
The only exceptionalism that I can see practised by the USA is their lying, distortion of truth and fabrication of evidence. Besides, of course cheating and stealing.
How could those White House spokespeople ever sleep well at night, knowing they are liars on every topic. Does what they are saying not impinge on their conscience? Do they have a soul?
All Amigos speak with fork tongue. The Red Indian Chieftains believed them and their villages were burnt to the ground and all followers - men, women, children and old folks - massacred, raped and humiliated.
The arrogant Americans claimed that this world order is set up by them. It is a rule based order. And they also live by the myth called American Exceptionalism.
The above mean that there is a world order and the Americans decide who can play and live in this world order. Some they decided to keep out of this world order by sanctions and coercion. And every country must observe the rules and laws of this world order set up by them.
But the Americans are above all the rules and laws of this world order. This is what they meant by American Exceptionalism. They are the Empire and the world belongs and is control by the American Empire. They are beyond reproach, cannot be charged or convicted of any crimes. They can kill, steal, invade nations. They can lie, massacre, torture, and commit war crimes, crimes against humanity, but no one can bring them to court.
They are the law, they are above the law.
For USA it seems that Destroying China is an Existential issue. Democrats and Republicans quarrel over everything, but when it come to China Bashing they fully support each other 1000%. Is there any room for the opinions of non politicians? This is democracy? So if all the opposition gang up against an innocent third party, this is the best form of government? How will this going to play out? China fortunately is armed to the teeth, this is a real blessing.

1. Money payments to anyone who killed Indians.
2. Testimony of Indians were not valid in any court.
3. Indian food source was swiped by the whites.
4. Smallpox was introduced as bio warfare against Indians.
THIS IS THE REAL GENOCIDE. THE AMERICANS HAVE NOT AND WILL NOT APOLGISED. At least, the Germans felt remorseful and shameful of their genocie on jews.
i don't think other countries "cannot see anything wrong" with thr Americans. Right or Wrong is an abstract idea mr redbran. Survival is what matters. Dont think Pap does not know the american genocists. But due to so many American propping up the Sg economy, you have to play the game. You underestimate the intelligence of governments. They are all making calculations based on survival and cost benefits analysos, and not morals.
Latest news in India:
Videos showing Hindu religious leaders in India calling for genocide against Muslims have sparked outrage and prompted demands for action.
Indian police said on Friday they had launched a hate-speech investigation into last week’s event in Haridwar, in northern Uttarakhand state, in which participants called for the mass killings and use of weapons against Muslims.
One of these days, when the CECA caste-system-entrenched Hindu Indians become a major force in Singapore, they will do the same thing too. Muslims better beware of this.
Not only will they do the same thing to Muslims, they will also do the same thing to the other non-Hindu people.
Their caste system is an extreme system of strict abiding to hierarchy. Non-Hindus are considered worse than their lowest caste, i.e. the Dalit class or the Untouchables
Modi annexed autonomous Kashmir, a state with 94% of its population are Muslims. Quite a number of Muslims were arrested, tortured, some killed.
Where are the Muslim loving white men, and why they did not breath a word on this and did not pretend to be protectors of Muslims in Kashmir? They only want to protect Muslims in Xinjiang but not elsewhere?
Police and soldier brutality against the Muslims in Kashmir and eastern part of India is happening everyday.
Of course the USA keeps quiet as they are thinking they can make use of India to counter China on another front at present. Modi is more cunning than the Whites as he is playing a double game of appearing very close to the USA but buying arms and being extra friendly with Russia as well The USA is not unaware and certainly does not trust the double headed Indians. That day will come when the Indians will follow the Saudis in shedding their support for the USA.
When India rises, as it will in time, they will face the same treatment from the USA as China. Just watch. The Whites cannot tolerate being delegated into into a third rate lesser economic power. They think the top position is forever their turf.
Modi is waiting to see which side the wind blows and he is like the bamboo tree swaying in the wind and bending towards the most favourable direction.
