"Suicide attacks wreak havoc in Afghanistan; Synchronized assaults kill at least 20" by Laura King, Los Angeles Times | May 13, 2009

FARAH, Afghanistan - As many as a dozen suicide bombers staged synchronized attacks yesterday on government buildings in a provincial capital in eastern Afghanistan, triggering a day of chaotic fighting that left at least 20 people dead.

Yes, of course, the headline is going to be the standard suicider prop -- especially after the U.S. just wasted precious Afghan life.

Scores of people were injured in the fighting in Khost, the site of a large US military base. The wounded included at least three US soldiers.... The Khost attack was a sign of insurgents' growing ability to stage sophisticated, multipronged attacks. Militants in the eastern part of the country are thought to have better access to training in Pakistan's tribal areas, a haven for the Taliban and Al Qaeda. At least one of the suicide bombers was disguised in a burka, the enveloping veil worn by many Afghan women. Insurgents also apparently laid an ambush for a rescue team that came from the American base....

I'm so sick of the lying AmeriKan MSM that I no longer believe this anti-Muslim, Jewish war propaganda. Now it may be true, readers; however, I will never believe them again. Too many lies for too long, jewsmedia.

The surge in fighting across Afghanistan has coincided with a spike in civilian casualties caused during clashes between coalition troops and insurgents. Yesterday, an Afghan government commission asserted that 140 civilians had been killed in a battle last week in Farah Province, in western Afghanistan. The US military has acknowledged bombing the area but said it did not believe all the casualties were caused by the bombardment.

"This was an accident, and we offer condolences," provincial governor Rohul Amin told a somber assemblage of villagers who trekked to the provincial capital to receive condolence payments from the Afghan government. Relatives received a payment of about $2,000 for family members killed and $1,000 for those injured.

"It doesn't make the pain in my heart go away," said Abdul Farahi, a trucker whose brother and two nephews were killed and whose wife was seriously burned. "We all have to leave this earth, but this cannot be explained."

No, it WOULD NOT!!!

The US military has said it believes the number of civilians killed was much lower than 140. Twenty-five militants were also killed in the fighting, according to the commission, which was appointed by President Hamid Karzai.

The Taliban, meanwhile, yesterday mocked the ousted US commander in Afghanistan, Army General David D. McKiernan, who was replaced a day earlier by Lieutenant General Stanley McChrystal. The move was interpreted as reflecting dissatisfaction by the Obama administration over the course of the conflict.

The change in command comes as more than 21,000 additional American troops have begun arriving. Most will be deployed in the south, the center of the insurgency. Taliban spokesman Qari Yousaf Ahmadi, reached by telephone, said the decision showed that American officials knew they were losing the war.

Well, if they don't, the American people sure do!!

We WANT an END to the LYING WARS and OCCUPATIONS they BIRTHED!!!!!

And WTF? If they reached him by telephone, surely the Americans can track that like they track our calls!

Yeah, MSM PROPAGANDA STINK, folks!!!
