An Obowma defender uses more sophistry:
Logical Fallacy: Tu quoque ("you too"). This is the fallacy of defending an error in one's reasoning by pointing out that one's opponent has made the same error. An error is still an error, regardless of how many people make it. For example, "They accuse us of making unjustified assertions. But they asserted a lot of things, too!"

"Vast need for revenge"?
The simplest explanation really doesn't apply here. Both scenarios are quite basic.
I don't find #2 to be at all likely, largely because the Obama administration has never been serious about fighting ISIS. They helped create ISIS to fight Assad after all. The Russians came in and after just two days of bombing in Syria had hundreds of them cutting off their beards and cutting and running.
That shows you who is serious about fighting ISIS.
No, this is about something else. Sure, you can be naive and pretend the government is working for your best interests to protect you. I don't buy it. War is almost always about money and resources. The window dressing is put on to market it to gullible people.

According to the article, the evidence is pointing towards us both knowing it was a hospital and knowing that it didn't contain armed combatants. I think the most likely scenario is that a high value target was being treated there (or suspected of being treated there).

It's possible, but if so, you would think they would send in a special ops team to surgically (no pun intended) take him out, instead of bombing the shit out of the entire hospital for an hour.
