They said they bombed Daesh, foreign news says it was a hospital.

Both could be perfectly correct. Every bomb dropped on a civilian target is a PR bonus for groups like ISIS, so they have no problem camping out in hospitals and schools.

I honestly wonder what would happen if the US just pulled out entirely. Even if the islamists do gain control of the region, there's no way they'll keep it forever, and there's been fuck all terrorist attacks on the US since 9/11. Way more Americans have been killed by the war than what the war was trying to prevent.

Daesh inject themselves into every aspect of civilian life, they control everything. They involve themselves into every aspect of everyday life, everything from forced prayer to daily propaganda showings, to taxing shops, and distributing welfare. There is no doubt that these were ISIS targets.

If everything is ISIS, does the US just bomb everything indiscriminately? That's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy.
