Yeah why bomb terrorists who fire missiles at ships?
I know you're arguing in bad faith so this comment is more addressed at anyone else who comes to this thread and isn't sure why this sort of attack may be controversial outside of the opsec scandal itself.
There are ways to eliminate terrorist threats with precision to reduce civilian casualties. They bombed an apartment building and killed almost 60 innocent people. If you think that it's okay that innocent people die in the crossfire as long as you take out the threat, or that they are all terrorists by association then that's your problem. The text chain clearly shows they understood they had plenty of time to consider other options, but the Trump administration has no regard for human life.
Yea, this is what gets me and what news media needs to actually talk about. The texts are a security leak and sign of unfathomable idiocy and incompetence, sure, but there are missiles literally designed to target and blender people in an area the size of a car and nowhere else. They deliberately did this in the most irresponsible, collaterally devastating way possible. These people carefree murdered a bunch of children and families just trying to survive. Every single participant of that chat should be swaying in the breeze under a highway overpass right now.
