US expresses regret for deaths last August but blames Taliban for taking position near village

The issue of civilian deaths has outraged Afghans and strained relations with foreign forces which are in Afghanistan to help fight the insurgency. The Afghanistan president, Hamid Karzai, has warned US and Nato for years that they must stop killing civilians on bombing runs against militants, saying the deaths undermine his government and the international mission.

The US military sound exactly like the Israeli IDF - "It's their fought - They made us kill them!"

Let Them Eat Cake

As American occupations bring suffering – untold and denied, unmeasured so as to be deniable – Washington cannot understand why the occupied do not simply submit. Whether it is cake, or brioche, or the heavy American porridge of bristling state socialism and angry imperialism, the Bush-Obama-McCain answer to heartbroken Afghans and to the world, is "Eat it!"

Fox News & Oliver North Involved with U.S. Afghanistan Massacre Cover-up

Perhaps the most amazing political news surrounding the Nawabad massacre is that the Pentagon says it relied for its account, in part, on corroborative evidence by the embedded journalist on the scene: Fox News "reporter" Oliver North!

What is even more amazing is that to corroborate FIXED NEWS reporter Oliver North, I understand US Military Intelligence (if there can be such a thing) used satellite imagery of freshly dug graves. Unfortunately for the Americans, the dead, or more accurately, the remaining pieces of the dead were not yet buried but had been taken to a Mosque awaiting family identification.

This is a classic case of "are you gonna believe me or your lying eyes..."

Video shows dead Afghan children after US raid

Afghans prepare graves for people killed by a US airstrike on Azizabad village in Herat province. The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) says it has has found "convincing evidence" that 90 civilians -- including 60 children -- were killed in US-led air strikes last week. (AFP/File/Reza Shirmohammadi)

"Two videos that appear to show the bodies of at least 10 children and many more adults covered in blankets and white shrouds lend weight to Afghan and U.N. allegations that a U.S.-led raid killed scores of civilians last month. One video, obtained by The Associated Press on Monday and apparently taken by a cell phone, is grainy and details such as a precise body count are difficult to make out. But it appears that several dozen bodies, all covered by blankets, are lined up one next to another in a mosque."

Interesting language - I wonder how a child with it's head blown off can APPEAR to be dead...

Harrowing video film backs Afghan villagers' claims of carnage caused by US troops

"Women are heard wailing in the background. “Oh God, this is just a child,” shouts one villager. Another cries: “My mother, my mother.”"

Winning hearts and minds as only America can - by murdering innocent women and children...

The New Auschwitz

"According to Gideon Polya, based on UNESCO data, the US invasion of Afghanistan has led to as many as 6.6 million unnecessary deaths. According to Washburn University law professor Liaquat Ali Khan, the “crime of genocide applies to the intentional killings that NATO troops commit on a weekly basis in the poor villages and mute mountains of Afghanistan to destroy the Taliban.” The occupation forces, which ironically include former Axis powers Germany and Japan, have created the New Auschwitz."

Afghan Civilians Were Killed Needlessly

"A former member of an elite Marine combat unit that operated last year in eastern Afghanistan testified Tuesday that his comrades appeared to have needlessly killed civilians after their convoy was attacked by a suicide car bomb."
