Airstrikes Go On in Afghanistan

If our leaders were truly sorry they wouldn't do this anymore, America.

Welcome to the War Criminal's Club, Mr. Obama.


"3 US troops killed in Afghan suicide blast; Attacks up 25% in the first four months of 2009" by Amir Shah and Fisnik Abrashi, Associated Press | May 27, 2009

PUL-E-SAYAD, Afghanistan - As the conflict intensifies elsewhere in the country, US troops called in air strikes on groups of insurgents in the eastern Logar province yesterday, killing 13 insurgents, the US military statement said.

Can you verify that, MSM?

Separately, in the eastern Khost province, a convoy of Afghan and American troops killed the driver of a car when the vehicle did not slow down in response to shouts to stop and warning shots, said Chief Petty Officer Brian Naranjo, a US forces spokesman.

It is called a CHECKPOINT KILLING and if you talk to a vet you know they happen WAY MORE than the war-pounding, occupation-promoting press tells us!

In the south, US forces said they killed eight Taliban fighters in a clash in Uruzgan province on Monday. The troops were on patrol when Taliban fighters attacked with small-arms fire and heavy machine-guns....

Body counts like Vietnam?

Shortly before he rammed his vehicle into an American military convoy, the young bearded suicide bomber waved at Sayed Najibullah to move away. As Najibullah sped off a huge explosion ripped through a US armored vehicle, killing three American troops and three Afghan civilians.

But Najibullah lived to tell the story. Yesterday's attack in the northern Kapisa province, which is a stronghold of insurgents loyal to the Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar north of Kabul, follows warnings from American military officials that more suicide attacks and roadside bombings can be expected as thousands of new US troops join the fight this year....

Hekmatyar the CIA ASSET?

"Gulbuddin Hekmatyar the favored warlord of the ISI and CIA. Casey was said to be particularly fond of him as both shared a goal of extending the fighting beyond Afghanistan into the Soviet Union itself. He was a ruthless fighter, who also led several raids into USSR territory. He was also a major drug trafficker. Almost half of all the covert weapons directed at Afghanistan were sent to his group"

The 22-year old Najibullah was riding a motorbike on a tree-lined village road just outside the bazaar in Pul-e-Sayad when he saw the suicide attacker in a white Toyota Corolla vehicle speeding in the opposite direction. "He was young, bearded men, wearing a white cap," Najibullah said. "He slowed down, looked at me, and motioned with his hand at told me to get away fast."

The bomber did the same to the passengers of a rickshaw riding behind Najibullah. At that moment Najibullah also heard the roaring engines of military vehicles coming from behind.

And than the explosion happened. His bike shook violently but Najibullah did not fall off. Shocked, he stopped to see what had taken place. "I turned my head only to see fire and dust," Najibullah said. As the dust settled, he saw American soldiers running outside. Some lay on the ground.

Three US troops died in the blast....

But the press can't get to the hills to verify civilian casualties.

The troops served with NATO's International Security Assistance Force. Three civilians also died and two others were wounded, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. Such attacks are quite common across Afghanistan.

But NOT in the CENSORING, OMITTING, OBFUSCATING, LYING, WAR-PROMOTING AmeriKan MSM PRESS!!!!

Taliban and other insurgent groups regularly use suicide and roadside bombs in assaults on foreign and Afghan troops. According to military figures, 172 coalition forces were killed in such attacks last year - and far more Afghan civilians died....

You can add thse to the grim and gruesome carnage:

"US-led troops kill 34 militants in Afghanistan; Coalition forces raid Al Qaeda training camp" by Fisnik Abrashi, Associated Press | May 29, 2009

KABUL, Afghanistan - US-led coalition troops attacked a suspected training camp for foreign fighters in eastern Afghanistan yesterday, and an Afghan official said 34 militants were killed, including 22 Arabs and Pakistanis. Among the dead were six who detonated their suicide vests during the battle, the US coalition said.

Well, we discount what the lying US military says at this point, and WTF do you mean "suspected?"

The raid on the heavily guarded compound in Paktika province, which lies on Afghanistan's porous border with Pakistan, serves as a reminder that the rugged region remains a breeding ground for Islamist fighters waging insurgencies in both countries.

The administration of President Obama has declared eliminating militant havens as a priority in defeating Al Qaeda and winning the war in Afghanistan. Insurgents use such areas as a base for operations, from which US military officials say they launch attacks on Western troops.

At least six insurgents wearing suicide vests blew themselves up during the battle, and one coalition member was wounded in the assault, the US military said in a statement. Afghan authorities said they recovered 34 bodies, including 22 Arabs and Pakistanis, said Hamidullah Zuhak, a spokesman for Paktika's governor. They found personal documents on the bodies of those killed, he said.

I can see Atta's passport coming out of the fireball and fluttering to the ground

Yeah, they found documents on 'em so..... ???

Coalition troops were hunting for a rebel commander named Sangeen, but it was unclear if he was among those killed in the raid on the compound in Wor Mamay district, the US military said. The military alleges Sangeen plans and coordinates the movement of Al Qaeda leaders and that of hundreds of foreign fighters from Pakistan to Afghanistan, the coalition statement said.

Please see: Occupation Iraq: Tortured Logic and related links for why I no longer believe in "Al-CIA-Duh" or anything else the agenda-pushing, war-promoting, Zionist AmeriKan war press has to report about Muslims!!

Dozens of militants tried to repel the predawn attack on the heavily fortified positions, some using high ground to fire on the forces and forcing them to call in airstrikes, the coalition said.

Yup, THEY FORCED us to OBLITERATE them with our bombs over a damnable lie -- whoever they are!!!!

Forces also uncovered a weapons caches containing rocket-propelled grenade launchers, AK-47 assault rifles, suicide vests, and other armaments, the military said.

Yup, found an arms cache, whatever: Arms Sent by U.S. May Be Falling Into Taliban Hands

In southern Afghanistan yesterday, a NATO soldier was killed in a roadside bomb blast, the military alliance said in a statement. It did not provide any other details about the location of the blast or the nationality of the soldier.

Also yesterday, arsonists burned down a boys' school in Daman district in neighboring Kandahar province. Two men attacked and tied up the school's two night watchmen and locked them in a room, then set fire to the surrounding buildings, according to Yaar Mohammad, one of the guards.

Sounds familiar: Islam's 9/11

Both guards managed to escape after the assailants left, Mohammad said. No one was injured in the fire, but all the classrooms were destroyed, along with schoolbooks and Korans, the Islamic holy book, said Abdur Razzaq, the school principal.

A-HA!!!!!!! Now I KNOW TALIBAN DIDN'T DO IT!

Whatever they are, they would NOT BURN a KORAN!!!!!!!!

Another boys' school in Kandahar city was hit by a rocket but only a wall was damaged, said Najibullah Ahmadi, the provincial education director. Militants regularly attack government-run schools and their students in Afghanistan as part of their campaign to weaken the government's grip.

Readers, the RIVER of MUSLIM-HATING J**SH** just crusted, 'er, crested.

Many of the harshest attacks have been on girls' schools, seen by extremists as antithetical to their brand of Islam, but boys' schools have not been immune.

Nor are the ISLAMIC HOLY BOOKS to the PIOUS, EXTREMIST "terrorist" Taliban!!!!!

This STINKS, readers!!!!!

As a result, scores of schools have been closed.

"Afghans dump books seen as insulting" by Associated Press | May 28, 2009

KABUL, Afghanistan - The Afghan government quietly dumped more than 1,000 Shi'ite texts and other books from Iran into a river after a local governor complained that their content insulted the country's Sunni majority.

Had to be on U.S orders. Had to be.

Karzai Kicks Off Afghan Civil War

The move appeared to be an attempt by President Hamid Karzai's US-backed government to smooth over a potential thorn in relations between the Muslim sects.

HowTF does TOSSING BOOKS in a RIVER do that?

But instead of burying the issue along with the books at the bottom of the Helmand River, the government was facing condemnation yesterday from Shi'ite leaders after news leaked a month after the dumping.

As expected! And WHO BENEFITS from DIVISIONS in MUSLIM SECTS, readers?

And if you think about it, the different sects have lived together and intermarried now for centuries without slaughtering each other with suiciders and blowing up each others' mosques. That only happens once WE GET THERE!

CUI BONO?

"It is a humiliation for all Shi'ites," said Mohammad Akbari, a prominent Shi'ite member of parliament. He said a joint commission of Sunni and Shi'ite leaders should have reviewed any complaints about the books.

But they were never given a chance in this provocative act!

Merchants who had ordered the books said there was nothing offensive about their content and that they were destroyed simply because of prejudice against Shi'ites, who make up about 20 percent of the population.

And WHO has it in for SHIITES and IRAN, 'eh?

The dispute highlights the continuing tension between Sunnis and Shi'ites in Afghanistan despite efforts by the government to preach tolerance across the sectarian divide.

Yeah, TOSSING BOOKS into a RIVER is TOLERANCE!!

This is AmeriKan journalism? What RUBBISH!

What ABSOLUTE RUBBISH! Do they truly think we are that 'too-pid?

Shi'ites were persecuted under the largely Sunni Taliban regime that ruled the country until the US-led invasion in 2001. Since then, the two sects have settled into an uneasy coexistence, with the post-Taliban constitution giving Shiites the right to create some laws that apply only to them.

Like the abusive women's act?

The latest episode started six months ago when a container full of books arrived in western Nimroz province from neighboring Iran, said the governor's spokesman, Haaji Nazir. Nestled among boxes of computer and English instruction manuals were more than 1,000 history and religious books promoting Shi'ite Islam, Nazir said. Iran is a mostly Shi'ite country.

How come the computer manuals weren't sunk, too, 'eh?

"Books like these are more dangerous than Taliban bullets," Governor Ghulam Dastagir Azad told The Associated Press.

Or AmeriKan BOMBS because IDEAS are BULLETPROOF!!!!!!!
