Communications may be down during the bombing. A lot of things could go wrong even on the ground intelligence and relaying the info to HQ and so forth. Is it an accident or intentional, we all just don't know at this time. Even with today's technology mistakes will and always be made in any conflict and war. I'm still holding judgement until I get all the info (whether real or speculative) to make my final conclusion is all I am saying.

my point, precisely.
overzealous engagement is another potential, one that is particularly habitual amongst pilots of the ..AF.

as if these are the only potentials for error? is your capacity for analysis really limited to such a shallow depth?
this instance is one, of many, in which repeated attempts to communicate with those firing or their commands, during an erroneous attack, failed to halt fire action.
the entire argument you defend reduces to 'our bombs are better than your bombs'. as i wrote, childish and ignorant. and that from a senior member?

There are a myriad of potentials for error in these instances. The reality, however, is that by far the most of them, are human induced. If communication cannot be established / is not answered / is not properly understood or followed during an erroneous attack, that, again, is not a technical issue lying with the ammunition. They still go were the operator tells them to go.

I also fail to see how you make any/all of this a "my bomb is better than yours" issue. It's an argument that free-fall-, or glide-bombs, on a per bomb basis, have a higher chance of hitting the intended (wether it is the correct or an erroneous one) aimpoint when they have technial enhancements (the ability to adjust flight path during fall) as compared to those simply "falling" after release.

Talbiseh is on an important road that need to be available to the Syrian army so the rebels there have the choice to go away, to surrender or to be killed.
