"Do you think that it would have been better if we sent our manned bombers instead? They are no more or less precise"

as in they got it done, not as in they didn't also kill a bunch of other innocent people.
That doesn’t discredit it being more precise. iirc they meant to hit that wedding, but they claimed they thought it was a terrorise meeting or something.
Did they say that beforehand or after? It's easy to claim after the fact that they thought they were aiming for a group of combatants.

I want to read that Jeremy Scahill book on our drone war program. I need to be able to read fucking faster.
