Bomb that killed 40 children in Yemen was supplied by the US
(CNN)The bomb used by the Saudi-led coalition in a devastating attack on a school bus in Yemen was sold as part of a US State Department-sanctioned arms deal with Saudi Arabia, munitions experts told CNN.
Working with local Yemeni journalists and munitions experts, CNN has established that the weapon that left dozens of children dead on August 9 was a 500-pound (227 kilogram) laser-guided MK 82 bomb made by Lockheed Martin, one of the top US defense contractors.
The bomb is very similar to the one that wreaked devastation in an attack on a funeral hall in Yemen in October 2016 in which 155 people were killed and hundreds more wounded. The Saudi coalition blamed "incorrect information" for that strike, admitted it was a mistake and took responsibility.

There are many causes worth fighting and dying for. Not sure what cause is worth killing children for.
I certainly know that we shouldn't be selling bombs to the people who attacked us on 9-11 to murder the children of dirt farmers in Yemen in a proxy sunni-shiite war.
For every war room conservative that supports banning abortion because it is immoral, where are you at on dropping bombs on children?
For every war room liberal who screams Donald Trump's decorum is un-presidential, isn't killing children with bombs un-presidential, or at the very least un-American?
This is why the media and political parties are failing. They are all so completely full of shit, you have to be an idiot to buy what either side is selling.
Big government, trannies, Russia, and big business are coming to get you. Pay no attention to the dead children littering the road way as you rage to the voting booth, to vote against the bad guys in the mid-terms.
