We need to be careful here. This sounds like clever military propaganda,
ostensibly critical of the Americans, but actually propagating the
unobserved assumption that American missiles that kill civilians are
"missing" specific intended targets.

What evidence do we have that the missile that hit Shu'ala market did not
hit precisely its intended target?  Or what evidence to we have that there
was any specific target, other than a densely populated city?
