U.S. Military Investigating Afghan Casualty ClaimsPosted on May 5, 2009Up to 70 civilians were reportedly killed in the Farah province of Afghanistan in a battle between Taliban insurgents and coalition forces on Tuesday, adding friction to already tense relations between the U.S. and Afghan governments. According to Mohammad Nieem Qadderdan, a former top official in the Farah district of Bala Baluk, “These houses that were full of children and women and elders were bombed by planes.” The U.S. military is investigating the claims.

Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State, is repeatedly expressing “regret” on behalf of the U.S. government when civilians die because of our military actions.
I invite you to read my May 6, 2009 blog entry: Deep Regret?

WHY DO WE ALL SIT ON OUR RUMP AND LET
THIS NEW POWER STRUCTURE KILL AT WILL
Why are we in
AFGHANISTAN?
This corridor is needed for pipelines to be laid from the oil and gas
Rich Caspian Sea area known as the TENGIZ
To China
Who is needed that done?——Look below
This land these children living here for centuries are disposable when the
NEED for GREED
Arouses the
BEAST of MANKIND called the BILDERBERG.

My, my there certainly are a lot of contingencies in those overseas operations, no?
Not surprisingly, Obama’s rebranding of the GWOT is about as successful as the Republicans desire to rebrand themselves.
I do wish that some WH reporter would ask the President to define “Taliban” at the next press conference…that would be a hoot.

Back before his majesty BHO took over the executive branch, I once said that when he became president, he would have to decide when the killing stops.
From Laura King of The Los Angeles Time, May 6, 2009:
“The International Committee of the Red Cross said its representatives in the area saw dozens of corpses that had been pulled from the ruble in two separate locations in the district. Spokeswoman Jessica Barry in Kabul said the dead included women and children.”
This was not an error, but a calculated action executed in the delusional war on terror that President Obama disowns by simply changing its name. It makes the BHO/MLK T-shirts appear to be exactly what they are, cheap emotional exploitive trinkets.
Report thisIf I could be heard I would say: Hey Barry, you’re the bastard with the biggest gun in your hand. I guess he thinks he is now a real man because he can order up senseless murder. Bravo Mr. President, bravo.

How many investigations did the military have after it was known that prisoners of war were being tortured at Abu Graib three, four, five? Sadly we all know what military investigations are all about, simply a CYA mission. No news here.
