Oh, no!! O' Fatima!!!
There is more water for you to collect from this tired old man!!!!!
GOD DAMN YOU, President Obama!!!!!
God damn you to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Globe decided this wasn't worthy of my printed paper:
KABUL (Reuters) - A suicide bomb attack outside a NATO base killed seven civilians in southeastern Afghanistan on Wednesday, a local official said, a day after Taliban gunmen and bombers mounted a brazen strike in the same town....
Another 21 civilians were wounded in Wednesday's attack by a suicide bomber in a car packed with explosives. An official from the province of the same name said all the victims were laborers working at the NATO base on the outskirts of Khost township....
In a separate incident overnight, U.S. forces said they had accidentally killed two civilians and wounded four with air strikes and artillery fire launched against fighters who fired rockets at bases in southeastern Paktika province.
Oh, THAT is WHY it DIDN'T MAKE the PAPER!!!!
Reuters obtained a list endorsed by the Afghan government with the names, ages and fathers' names of 140 people killed in a battle that included U.S. air strikes in the west of the country last week. Ninety-three of the dead were children -- the youngest an 8-day-old infant, and most of the rest were women.
Another reason this article was ABSENT my printed paper!
A U.S. military spokesman disputed the toll and said some of the names may have been fake. He also blamed the Taliban for deliberately putting civilians in danger.
OH MY GOD!!
How FUCKING GOD DAMN SHAMELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AmeriKa DESERVES to be HATED!!!!!!!!

The Farah incident has prompted Afghan President Hamid Karzai to call for an end to air strikes, but he was rebuffed.
Yeah, it is only HIS NATION!! So much for SOVEREIGNTY, 'eh?
A roadside bomb killed eight local workers from a construction firm in the eastern province of Nangarhar and another killed three builders working on a road in southern Zabul province, the Interior Ministry said.

Yup, when it comes to U.S. responsibility and civilian deaths, tag it for a slow Saturday on page A9 -- below the fold, of course:
"US policy in Afghanistan faulted; Rights group says civilians at risk" by Amir Shah and Heidi Vogt, Associated Press | May 16, 2009
KABUL - Human Rights Watch accused the US military of not doing enough to reduce civilian casualties during battles in Afghanistan and called yesterday for changes to prevent civilian deaths like those earlier this month.
New York-based Human Rights Watch said its preliminary investigation into a May 4-5 clash that killed scores of people, including many women and children, found that measures put in place by the US military to safeguard civilians were inadequate.
Uh, DUH!!
The best way to SAFEGUARD them is to QUIT DROPPING WMD and BOMBS on them!!!!!
Afghans blame US airstrikes for the deaths and destruction in two villages in western Farah province. American officials say the Taliban held villagers hostage during the fight. A joint Afghan-US probe is ongoing and evidence will show that the Taliban, not a US airstrike, was to blame, the top US Marine officer said yesterday in Washington.
I am SO SICK of the U.S. MILITARY and their DAMNABLE LYING!!!!!!

"We believe that there were families who were killed by the Taliban with grenades and rifle fire that were then paraded about and shown as casualties from the airstrike," said Marine Corps Commandant General James Conway.
I am SO APPALLED at the disgusting U.S. military!
Sorry, 'murka, but MASS-MURDERING LIARS ALL!!!!!!!!

It is unclear exactly how many people died in the fighting in Bala Baluk district. The Afghan government has paid compensation to families for 140 dead. The US military has said that figure is exaggerated, but has not given its own estimate.
Yup, a whole $2000 dollars.
Is your child or baby worth more than $2000 dollars to you, 'murkn?
If the Afghan toll is correct, it would be the largest case of civilian deaths since the 2001 US-led invasion to oust the Taliban. Villagers told the watchdog group that the fighting broke out after Taliban arrived demanding a share of their poppy income, but it was during the bombings that most of the civilians were killed.
It was not clear if the poppy dispute sparked the fighting, Human Rights Watch researcher Rachel Reid said. The group reiterated its condemnation for Taliban practices of using civilians as human shields and deploying its fighters in populated areas, but said its interviews did not suggest that residents were used as human shields in Bala Baluk.
I'd expect that standard response from a western-centric "human rights" organization.
So when is the U.S. going to stop putting Army recruiters on the corners of city blocks as well as setting up fake front companies for CIA cover? '
Hello?
Villagers interviewed did not say that the Taliban threw grenades at civilians, which the US has said may have caused some of the deaths.
Translation: the U.S. MILITARY is engaging once again in a FABULOUS LIE!
They just put that crap story out there thinking we'd all gobble it up.
They were wrong.

Btw, who are the "Taliban" anyway?
"Something of a catchall term for loosely affiliated insurgents without a singular command structure. Often, the Afghan government favors the phrase 'enemies of the state' (New York Times July 24, 2007)."
"The Taliban is growing and creating new alliances not because its sectarian religious practices have become popular, but because it is the only available umbrella for national liberation," says Pakistani historian and political commentator Tariq Ali. "As the British and the Soviets discovered to their cost in the preceding two centuries, Afghans never like being occupied."

And today, readers?
"More and more, people here look back to the era of harsh Taliban rule from 1996 to 2001, describing it as a time of security and peace."
Oh, oh, oh!!!! I'm so offended by the AmeriKan MSM and its bullshit!
