"Roadside bombs kill US service member, 8 Afghan soldiers" by Amir Shah, Associated Press | January 9, 2010
KABUL, Afghanistan - Roadside bombs killed eight Afghan soldiers and a US service member in separate incidents in Afghanistan, officials said yesterday.
NATO confirmed the American died Thursday in eastern Afghanistan, but provided no other details. Also Thursday, an Afghan Army vehicle hit a roadside bomb in Uruzgan Province in central Afghanistan. Army commander Abdul Hamid said eight soldiers who were inside the vehicle were killed as they were returning from the provincial capital of Tarin Kot.
In Logar province, south of Kabul, two local intelligence guards were killed yesterday at a dog fight in the provincial capital of Pul-e Alam, said Mustafa Mosseini, chief of police in the province. He said a suspected suicide bomber entered the dog fight and opened fire, killing the two guards. Other intelligence officers killed the gunman, who did not detonate his alleged cache.
If you think I am believing any accounting but the dog fight, well, you are new here, aren't you?

"Dogfighting Making a Comeback in Afghanistan
Afghans like to fight....
Oh, WHO WROTE this PoS, and why am I NOT SURPRISED?!!!
And for all the horrors of three decades of war, they still find room to fight for fun, most often through proxies: cocks, rams, goats, camels, kites.
Someone fly a kite?
And dogs. Dogfighting was banned under the Taliban, who considered it un-Islamic.

"U.N. drug control officers said the Taliban religious militia has nearly wiped out opium production in Afghanistan -- once the world's largest producer -- since banning poppy cultivation last summer."
Excuse me, WHO are the EXTREME BARBARIANS, again?
They BANNED OPIUM and DOG-FIGHTING and now BOTH are FLOURISHING after NINE YEARS of WESTERN LIBERATION?
Umm, either a FAILURE or a HUGE CUI BONO?
Drug money saved banks in global crisis, claims UN advisor
Yeah, as it turns out the WEST WENT IN THERE to RESTART the MONEY-MAKING DRUG TRADE, among other reasons.
But since the Taliban’s ouster in 2001, the sport has regained its earlier popularity, with dogfighters entering their charges in informal weekly tournaments on dusty lots in the country’s major cities.
Of course, if it is Michael Vick then the dog-fighting is a BIG ISSUE BACK HOME in HYPOCRITICAL AmeriKa!!
But this NYT PoS's TONE is GLOWING POSITIVE when it comes to the LIBERATED DOGS, 'er, Afghans!!! When they are not being BOMBED into OBLIVION!
BRING BACK the TALIBAN for Allah's SAKE!!!
The sport has even experienced a resurgence in the south, where the influence of the Taliban is strongest.... "
Then WE CERTAINLY MUST BE WINNING!!!
Is this truly the kind of LIBERATION you intended for the Afghans?
Okay, BACK to your REGULARLY-SCHEDULED Zionist war coverage:
In western Afghanistan, three rockets were fired last night at the new US Consulate office in Herat, but no casualties were reported, said Akramueein Yawar, the commander of the Afghan National Police in the western region of the country. He said three rockets were fired, but only one hit the building housing the consulate. No US staff were inside the building at the time of the attack, he said.
I smell the stink stench of MSM s***, readers, don't you?
The US ambassador to Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, on Dec. 16 signed an agreement with the governor of Herat province to lease a hotel to be used as a new US Consulate in western Afghanistan.
We are DEFINITELY NOT LEAVING in 2010!!
And that is the WEST!
I thought Taliban was SOUTH and EAST near Pakistan.
Oh, IRAN is on Afghanistan's WESTERN FLANK, I see!!!
Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman at the US Embassy in Kabul, said she could not confirm the attack on the former hotel. “The local authorities are investigating,’’ she said. “The US has leased this property for use as a new consulate in Herat, but we are not currently occupying the building.’’
Obviously you see how much I give a s*** at what liars say these days.
Who knows and who cares?
In southern Afghanistan, NATO said Afghan and international forces on Friday found a truck filled with 10 tons of fertilizer containing ammonium nitrate, a chemical often used in making explosives.
I'm thinking my BOSTON GLOBE WEIGHS MORE!
The troops destroyed the fertilizer in southern Kandahar Province, returned the truck to the owner and compensated him for the fertilizer.
Oh, so YOUR TAX DOLLARS went for a PSY-OP (if this ever even happened, readers; you think I trust a war-promoting, bullshit MSM anymore?)!!
The government of Afghanistan gave the coalition force permission in September 2009 to confiscate any supplies of ammonium nitrate fertilizers being kept or transported in the country; farmers are urged to use fertilizer containing urea nitrate instead.
Yup, TOOK AWAY the FOOD his CROPS NEEDED -- all because of a DAMNABLE LIE!!
Earlier this week, NATO said international air and ground forces recovered more than 6,000 pounds of illegal drugs in the Maywand district of Kandahar Province. Before dawn on Wednesday, scouts in two helicopters observed a suspicious vehicle that was trying to evade them. Two people inside the vehicle fled when nearby soldiers tried to intercept the truck.
Inside the truck, the soldiers found more than 5,300 pounds of processed opium, more than 1,000 pounds of wet opium paste, about 50 pounds of heroin and multiple firearms with ammunition. The suspects were detained and the drugs were destroyed on site, NATO said.
Well, SEEING as they are PROTECTING and GUARDING the DRUG TRADE and HELPING Karzai's brother, I guess they WOULD KNOW WHERE to go for this PSY-OPS BULLSHIT of "success."
Can't you SMELL the SHIT PILE of you AmeriKan *ewspapers, America?

Of course, the toilet is cleaned for the elite Sunday Globe reader.
That was a real PoS edition, believe me.

"Bomb kills Marine, British reporter; Journalist was 1st from UK killed in Afghanistan war" by Keith B. Richburg, Washington Post | January 11, 2010
Obviously, I'm going to have a lot of faith in their reporting.
KABUL, Afghanistan - A British journalist with the Sunday Mirror and a US Marine were killed yesterday when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb in volatile Southern Afghanistan, British officials and the reporter’s newspaper said.
A photographer with the newspaper was seriously injured in the attack in Helmand Province, the newspaper and British officials said. The US military did not immediately identify the Marine, who was killed while riding in the same vehicle.
The British Defense Ministry said that an Afghan soldier was also killed in the attack and that four US Marines were wounded. The attack occurred during a patrol near the village of Nawa, the ministry said. British press reports said the journalist, Rupert Hamer, 39, was the first British reporter killed covering the conflict in Afghanistan, now in its ninth year.... With the death of Hamer, 18 reporters - including 12 foreigners - have been killed in Afghanistan since the US-led invasion that followed the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. Hamer died two weeks after a Canadian journalist, Michelle Lang, 34, was killed along with four Canadian soldiers by a roadside bomb near Kandahar, also in southern Afghanistan. An Afghan translator for The New York Times, Sultan Munadi, was killed in September. The Sunday Mirror said the two journalists left on New Year’s Eve to embed with Marines and cover the US troop surge in Afghanistan....
And the AFGHANS DYING EVERY DAY, you self-centered, PoS press?
The reporter’s death occurred on a bloody day in Southern Afghanistan. Three Afghan aid workers employed by a German relief agency also were killed by a roadside bomb, in Uruzgan Province, also in southern Afghanistan.
Oh?
What about the AFGHANS who are DYING, you scumbag media?!!!!!!!!!!!!
"US forces reportedly kill 10 Afghan civilians; Karzai promises investigation into apparent airstrike" by Laura King, Los Angeles Times | December 29, 2009
KABUL - An Afghan provincial governor said yesterday that an apparent US airstrike killed 10 Afghan civilians, and an immediate investigation was ordered by President Hamid Karzai, who has criticized such incidents. If the reports are borne out, it would be the most serious instance in months of Western forces mistakenly killing Afghan civilians....
I think the issue of it being a "mistake" are LONG GONE, folks!
The alleged killings took place Sunday in a remote area of Kunar Province, in Afghanistan’s northeast. Tribal elders in the district of Narang first reported the deaths, and the Associated Press quoted provincial police as saying that eight of those killed were children....
It is NEVER ALLEGED SUICIDER or INSURGENT, is it?

"Afghanistan sets spring elections; Decision defies West’s pressure to reform rules" by Alissa J. Rubin, New York Times | December 30, 2009
KABUL, Afghanistan - In a separate development yesterday, Karzai sent a government team to investigate reports that 10 civilians, including eight students, were killed in fighting Sunday involving foreign troops in Kunar Province, in the northeast of the country.
Yeah, SCRUB UP that U.S. AIRSTRIKE, you DOG SHIT PIECE of PRESS!!!!!

"Western troops accused of executing 10 Afghan civilians, including children
American-led troops were accused yesterday of dragging innocent children from their beds and shooting them during a night raid that left ten people dead.
No wonder the NYT said killed in fighting.
So the air strike was a better sounding cover story for this WAR CRIMINAL ATROCITY, huh?
"If, in fact, US and NATO soldiers are dragging kids from their beds to kill them in cold blood, our policy in in Afghanistan has become absolute insanity, writ large. You do not win the hearts and minds of the country, smarting under your military occupation, by killing their children in cold blood." -- Wake the Flock Up
"8 Americans, 5 Canadians dead in Afghan attacks" by Deb Riechmann, Associated Press Writer | December 30, 2009
KABUL --Separately on Wednesday, NATO questioned Afghan reports that international troops killed 10 civilians, including schoolchildren, in a weekend attack that prompted hundreds of angry Afghan protesters to burn an effigy of U.S. President Barack Obama and chant "death" to America.
Oh, so NOW my NEWSPAPER HEADLINES, etc, LIED TO ME?
Oh, the UNREPENTANT SHAME of MASS-MURDERING WAR CRIMINALS now saying it NEVER HAPPENED in my WAR CRIMINAL WAR DAILY!!
The head of an investigative team appointed by Afghan President Hamid Karzai told The Associated Press by telephone that eight students between the ages of 12 and 14 were among the dead discovered in a village house in a remote section of Kunar province in eastern Afghanistan. NATO said in a statement released late Wednesday night that while there was no direct evidence to substantiate the claims, the international force had requested and welcomed a joint investigation to reach an "impartial and accurate determination" of what happened in the attack.
Translation: IT HAPPENED!!!
As for the CALL for EVIDENCE, one LOOKS at those TOWERS DROPPING STRAIGHT DOWN, etc, and wonders WHAT the FUCK NATO is TALKING ABOUT?
Conflicting accounts of what occurred during fighting in Kunar's Narang district prompted an emotional outcry over civilian deaths, one of the most sensitive issues for international troops fighting the more than eight-year-old war....
Yeah, good thing we don't have politicians yanking our emotions around and telling lies to invade and occupy nations after a false flag attack. We are so much better than the Afghans and those we have destroyed.
Several hundred Afghans demonstrated in the capital of Kabul and in the eastern city of Jalalabad where the likeness of Obama, adorned with a small American flag, burned on a pole held above demonstrators.

Why they were doing that:

Atiqullah s/o Farooq, student of class 9 in Narang High School.
Villagers and relatives and parents of the victims are mourning. The woman seen in the photo is mother of three of the victims.
Villagers prepare graves for the civilians killed by US Special Forces in Narang district.
Any effort to prevent such an inquiry, or to cover up a war crime, would be a war crime in itself.

"Afghan and international forces, pointing particularly to the alleged deaths of eight children in an operation involving foreign troops last month in Kunar province. NATO claims those killed in the operation were insurgents, but ARM said in a statement that it appeared to be a "crime against civilian people."
Yes, a MONSTROUS WAR CRIME that is being COVERED UP!!!
The ONLY THING MORE MONSTROUS is adding INSULT to INJURY with this cavalier comment:
Aside from outright killings of children,
Sigh. The AmeriKan MSM is hopeless.
the insurgents are endangering countless others by "widespread and systematic attacks on aid workers, humanitarian convoys and facilities (that) deprived thousands of children from lifesaving services such as food aid and immunization against deadly diseases," ARM said.

It is NOT the "insurgents" that are DRAGGING KIDS OUT of their BEDS and EXECUTING THEM!!!!
Afghan govt. demands arrest of US "death squad" who handcuffed, executed 8 children. US refuses
Kai Eide, UN Representative to Afghanistan confirmed the Afghan government’s investigative conclusions that US troops handcuffed and then executed eight students enrolled in grades 6 through 10 in a night raid on December 27, 2009. The US military and NATO responded the troops involved were non-official. The most likely source of para-military “non-official” troops in Afghanistan is Blackwater/Xe....
Un-flipping-real!

Are U.S. Forces Executing Afghan Kids?
The apparent mass murder of Afghan school children, including one as young as 11 years old, by a US-led group of troops, was pretty much blacked out in the American media. Especially blacked out was word from UN investigators that the students had not just been killed but executed, many of them after having first been rousted from their bedroom and handcuffed.

Get the PICTURE, AmeriKa!
KABUL - Six NATO service members, including three Americans, were killed in Afghanistan yesterday - the deadliest day for the international force in more than two months, underscoring fears that casualties will rise as more foreign troops stream into the country.

Enjoy, AmeriKa!
The three Americans were killed in a firefight with militants during a patrol in an undisclosed area of southern Afghanistan, the NATO command announced. That raised to at least 10 the number of US service members killed in Afghanistan so far this year, according to an Associated Press tally.
A French soldier also was killed and another was seriously wounded during a joint patrol with Afghan troops in the Alasay district of Kapisa Province, largely under insurgent control. NATO said another service member was killed in the clash but did not release the nationality, and said a sixth service member was killed by a roadside bomb in the south. The previous deadliest day for US forces was Oct. 27, when eight American troops were killed in an assault on a remote outpost in eastern Afghanistan. Seven CIA officials and a Jordanian intelligence officer also were killed in the Dec. 30 suicide bombing at Camp Chapman in Khost province....
