U.S.-led coalition accidentally bombs Syrian allies, killing 18

Aircraft from a U.S.-led coalition accidentally bombed friendly Syrian forces fighting the Islamic State in northern Syria on Tuesday, killing 18, the Pentagon said Thursday. The bombing marks the worst confirmed friendly-fire incident in the nearly three-year-old war against the terrorist group.

The coalition said in a statement that the airstrike was requested by “partnered forces” near the town of Tabqa who accidentally targeted a group of Kurdish and Arab fighters known as the Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF. The partnered forces believed that the SDF’s position belonged to the Islamic State, the statement said.

Well, we know for sure the United States was involved in this horrific flapdoodle. So, I can assume we'll hear something from the White House soon. RIP, 18 brave men are in a better place now.

That sort of thing is bound to happen in a confused mess like Syria.

There's nothing that can be done now to correct the situation. The only question is, do we change course in Syria, or not?
