'Civilians killed' as US-backed forces push to defeat ISIL

Fighter jets fired missiles in support of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Baghouz, a village in Deir Az Zor province, as part of a fierce battle to seize Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant's last sliver of territory in the region.

SDF spokesman Mustafa Bali said heavy clashes were ongoing on Tuesday after hundreds fled the battle zone overnight.

The article doesn't say "US troops".

But sometimes, to win, one has to do what one has to do.

Then again, consider the source of this article...

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Civilians?  So sad.  Too bad for them.  They will not be missed.
