Subject: RE: BS: US Humanitarian Aid?
Much too early for comment, the news agencies not even agree to the number of warehouses hit yet (one or two). And let's not forget the report comes from sources who have not been there since days.

There are so many possibilities, (1) error in hitting (unsmart bomb, Kim), (2) error in targeting, (3) damage comes from hitting another object nearby which led to other explosions (perhaps from ammunition stored there), or the more remote ones, (4) the Taliban changed the signs on the buildings, (5) the USA targeted the building on purpose (knowing that the Taliban had used it for storing other things after the Red Cross left), (6) the Taliban blew it up for propaganda (after removing the goods), (7) the USA hit it on purpose knowing it was a red cross building (not allowing the Taliban to use the goods later; or for propaganda claiming the Taliban blew it up).

So why should we speculate or comment now?
