Guess the pin-point NATO bombs the US is directing don't always hit the intended target.

So much for the humanitarian efforts...

TRIPOLI, April 30 (Reuters) - Shattered glass litters the carpet at the Libyan Down's Syndrome Society, and dust covers pictures of grinning children that adorn the hallway, thrown into darkness by a NATO strike early on Saturday.

It was unclear what the target of the strike was, though Libyan officials said it was Muammar Gaddafi himself, who was giving a live television address at the time.

"They maybe wanted to hit the television. This is a non-military, non-governmental building," said Mohammed al-Mehdi, head of the civil societies council, which licenses and oversees civil groups in Libya.

The missile completely destroyed an adjoining office in the compound that houses the government's commission for children.

The force of the blast blew in windows and doors in the parent-funded school for children with Down's Syndrome and officials said it damaged an orphanage on the floor above.

"I felt sad really. I kept thinking, what are we going to do with these children?" said Ismail Seddigh, who set up the school 17 years ago after his own daughter was born with Down's.

2. The ruling 1% & MIC don't give a shit about US children's welfare

so it's no surprise they target those who care for disabled children in Libya. Quite likely the "collateral damage" of civilians is some half-assed & vicious psy-ops strategy to demoralize the Libyan population.

3. Let me get this straight. This bitching is about a BUILDING?

Not one single child was killed, hurt, or even present?

GET YOUR PRIORITIES IN ORDER.
