"one does not need to engage in legal posturing." I rest my case - no interest in actually applying any legal standard to the actions. Am I saddened and disgusted that civilians die - of course I am. But to discuss war "crimes" without applying the "law" is like running the Romney campaign. "We won't be dictated to by fact-checkers."

Still no argument or facts, heim?
I did say "posturing" - an expression I'm sure someone of your education understands very well.
