"The coalition said an airstrike by its forces that killed nine Afghan Army soldiers may have been a case of mutually mistaken identity... a case of mistaken identity on both sides"
"Mutually mistaken?"
One Afghan soldier to another: "Hey, whose planes and helicopters are tho... (blam, blam, blam, blam)!!!
"Bomb kills 3 coalition soldiers in Afghanistan" by Carlotta Gall and Taimoor Shah, New York Times News Service | October 24, 2008
KABUL, Afghanistan - The US military said yesterday that a roadside bomb killed three soldiers from the American-led coalition fighting militants.
The bombing occurred one day after the coalition said an airstrike by its forces that killed nine Afghan Army soldiers may have been a case of mutually mistaken identity. In a statement, the coalition said a convoy of its troops had been involved in multiple engagements that led to the deaths of the Afghan soldiers.So what are they saying? They battled THEIR OWN?! Or are more Afghan troops (as the blogs report) DEFECTING to the TALIBAN after seeing all the NATO and U.S. slaughter of their FAMILIES and RELATIVES?!
Remember, it is lying, obfuscating joopress that is the source of this agenda-pushing propaganda, readers!
"Initial reports from troops on the ground indicate that this may be a case of mistaken identity on both sides," the statement said. It did not give a death toll or identify the nationality of the force responsible for the strike.--more--"
And I'll bet the MSM didn't even try to find out, either! Just took the government hand-out and printed it.
