200 Rebel Kurd Targets Hit in Iraq
Don't you just love the English language? 200 'targets' hit. That's like in archery, right? That wouldn't be flesh and blood people, would it? And 'Rebels' or 'insurgents'. Those are just people you disagree with. Nothing sinister there.
And the best obfuscation of the day has to be, "Officials in Iraq have claimed civilians were killed in the attacks, but the Turkish statement said any reports of civilian casualties were a fabrication and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said civilians were not targeted.
"Air operations or ground operations we will do whatever necessary within the limits of what international law allows us to do," Erdogan told legislators from his ruling party on Tuesday. "Civilians have never been our targets."
(I love that word, 'obfuscation'.) Of course no civilians died, civilians weren't the 'targets'. Were they?
