Those fortunate enough to escape Mosul

are closer to temporary safety than this family pictured last week.

Why is bombing hospitals in Mosul acceptable?

U.S.-coalition aircraft bombed a children's hospital in Mosul today.
This wasn't the first Mosul hospital we bombed.

Three weeks ago we bombed another hospital in Mosul.
The only difference is that the first hospital we knowingly, and intentionally targeted.

You probably weren't aware of this.
