US massacres continue in Afghanistan: Notice how they're 'always' attributed them to 'coalition forces' when in fact they're USAF B-1B bombers doing t

Often the Afghan terrorists are little
pint sized terrorists, huh America?

More Civilians killed in Afghan

raid by USAF bombers.

HERAT, Afghanistan - A raid by Afghan and North Atlantic Teaty Organisation (Nato) troops against Taliban insurgents in southwestern Afghanistan killed several civilians, among them children, local officials said today. Authorities from Farah province gave different figures for the number of civilians killed in the raid late yesterday. Officials in Kabul, including from the NATO force, did not immediately have information. (Note: Let's keep the people in the dark, OK America - this way it won't sound so 'war criminal like'). The strike, involving ground and air forces, took place in the Bakwa district, which has seen a series of attacks by fighters with the Taliban movement, in government between 1996 and 2001. (Note: Justification for the massacre, pure and simple). The governor of Bakwa district said that two women and three children were among the dead and only one Taliban fighter was killed. "A Taliban commander had been invited to the house," (Note: Conjecture always works when you're not too sure as to why you dropped the bombs on the victims) said Khan Agha. "In the operation nine people were killed, which includes two women and three kids." The rest were civilian men. But provincial governor Ghulam Mohaidun Balouch said that out of 10 people killed in the raid on a Taliban "cell" most were rebels. "Among the 10, eight are Taliban plus the wife of the commander and his child," he said. (Note: Yeah, Yeah, let's keep 'piling it on,' why doncha - LIARS!). Balouch said Italian NATO troops, who are based in the nearby province of Herat, were involved but this was not immediately confirmed by the alliance's International Security Assistance Force. (Note: It's like, we weren't the 'only' killers, involved). The issue of civilian casualties in military operations against Taliban insurgents is one of the most sensitive aspects of the international effort in Afghanistan as the US continues to use its B-1B 'Lancer' bomber to destroy entire villages and their inhabitants in order to avoid US casualties which are difficult to explain to the 'war weary' US taxpayer. Comment: And to think all this killing is so UNOCAL can build its oil/gas lines through Afghanistan
