• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Maybe it was a mistake. If so, it’s all good, like when Biden did it
  • Victims: The strike killed Zemari Ahmadi, an Afghan aid worker for the U.S.-based organization Nutrition & Education International (NEI), and nine members of his family, including seven children. The youngest victim was a two-year-old girl named Sumaya.
  • The Mistake: U.S. intelligence tracked Ahmadi's white Toyota Corolla for eight hours, mistakenly believing it was an ISIS-K vehicle laden with explosives and a direct threat to U.S. forces at the Kabul airport, days after a deadly suicide bombing there.
"We mis-identified the target" is a mistake. "Shoot them again" is not. It's possible that an ambiguous statement from SecDef was interpreted to mean that, as others have already posited, but giving the order - if such an order was indeed given - to target the survivors of the initial strike was unambiguously against the laws of armed conflict

I said that earlier myself.

Maybe they'll find a way to let him weasel out. It depends on how bipartisan the Congressional complaints get. All it does is feed fuel to the fire of troops being sure not to obey illegal orders, particularly if the lower ranking people catch heat.

He wouldn't have had to say anything, simply not do it. The survivors of the later boat were rescued alive.
Guess what? They weren't all Venezuelan.

It appears from the auto pen disaster and his obvious mental state he was not really president very much at all . His staff ran most of the show and a show it was.
Prove that in court, or admit it's a false accusation.

It was a mistake for them to run drugs that have killed thousands in our country that didn’t survive.
So murdering them in cold blood is OK? Got it. This is a Christian forum, after all, so it is good to know the Christian position on the matter. Thanks.

Sometimes, I wonder if this really is a Christian forum.

Maybe I have a misunderstanding of what a follower of Christ means.
There are areas of the forum open to explicit non-Christians.

And to those who have a misunderstanding of what being a follower of Christ means.

From some of the responses in this forum one would think it means blowing up the survivors of the boat strike in the water.

Well, the US military is certainly not an Christian organization, so it's strange and saddening that actions even the military considers unlawful are justified by persons who claim Christ.

I don't know if any of the strikes were lawful. It seems to depend on who you ask
