MSF hospital raid shows US desperation: Pundit
Press TV has conducted an interview with Joe Iosbaker, a leader of the United National Antiwar Coalition from Chicago, and Maxine Dovere, a political commentator from New York, to talk about the US attack on Doctors Without Borders' (MSF) medical compound in Kunduz, northern Afghanistan.
Iosbaker feels the world is annoyed with the war crime that the United States committed in Kunduz, Afghanistan, adding that US military forces knew well that the building was a hospital.
The US air force attacked a Doctors Without Borders’ hospital in Kunduz repeatedly, he argues, adding that Afghanistan ruled out a US claim that Kabul had called on Americans to pound the hospital.
He also says the hospital raid shows “the desperation of the US military, the US-led coalition and its occupation of Afghanistan.”
The anti-war activist criticizes the US’ refusal to conduct an independent investigation into the Kunduz hospital tragedy, noting that Washington continues “spin control.”
Dovere, for her part, opines that he MSF hospital could have been attacked only if the medical center had been used as a launching pad for strikes against American or Afghan forces, but the possible threat from the hospital in Kunduz remains to be investigated.
The United States is expected to conduct a transparent investigation into the “very wrong” attack on the MSF hospital in a bid to avoid repeating such horrendous accidents in the future, she maintains.
