Yeah pretty much this sort of "mistake" is going to be used as a PR tool by tools to paint the US as a villain when something like this happens, of course even reading the linked article and you'll see that
"Many Isil fighters are still holed up in the city, and are preventing thousands of civilians from leaving, effectively using them as human shields. "
So yeah... Sure the US did kill civilians, but they're civilians who are being held there by terrorists and used as human shields, to put all the blame of this on the US forces is really just weak minded. If you have terrorists who hold these children hostages to use them as shields... how do you try to paint them as the good guys here doing the right things?

Uhh...I never said isis was good in any shape or form(?)

I believe he is referring to the fact that you seem to imply ISIL is fighting because of incidents like this, for the people. And that's simply untrue, the people they have claimed responsibility for in their "would-be-state" are less than cattle for them. If they gave a crap about them, they would be escorting them and evacuating them to their inner strongholds. Instead, they are forcing them to stay because they know that collateral damage and civilian deaths are something we are very sensative about, unlike them who have never cared.
