#2 Exactly like that. Except in this case, the primary targets are specific bad guys instead of random infidels, and the secondary targets are likely their fellow miscreants-in-arms.

#4 between 282 and 535 civilians have been credibly reported as killed

#6 Allegations of repeat strikes coming back after half an hour when medical personnel are on the ground are very worrying.

#8 Barbaric. Immoral. Cruel and absolutely not necessary.
