Is this supposed to be GOOD news. I agree it sounds like a commercial which is exactly the intent.

“The new and improved Afgan war, now with fewer civilian deaths per attack”.

Our source of information has been hijacked and the crap these people say is amazing. Tragedy upon tragedy has been heaped upon the World and we are rapidly becoming a divided Nation. If the President ends these costly wars the neo-cons will howl “weak”. Our National identity seems to depend on us killing brown people.

I was working at San Juan ARTCC during Bush war partI and when they showed a “smart bomb” blowing up a building you should have heard the men in the break room cheer. They showed the same footage over and over again since that was the first trial run of restricting the press “for their own safety”. The American public never sees the carnage and dead babies and seriously believe in “surgical strikes”. Seeing just the numbers and not the bodies makes war more palatable especially since we “don’t count civilian casualties”.

The official clarion call to hate and fear Muslims and Mexicans is being heeded by the uninformed and unfortunately the MSM gives them the widest coverage. Most of them don’t have a clue. We are a weak Nation in debt up to our collective asses to the rest of the World and we still think we are the most powerful Nation on Earth. U S A, U S A.

I fear we have become like not-so-Great Britain, who once ruled much of the World. The flag never sets etc.

This “data from the last three months” should undoubtedly be very reassuring to
Afghans. Now they can relax and feel proud to have invaders in their land. Sadly,
this type of information continues to be widely accepted in the US.

Sadly this headline, reads like a product pitch at the local supermarket on a bottle of laundry detergent….“Fewer deaths with new war rules”...

How wonderful, I will buy all the war your selling, but you’ll have to have the bag boy, help me to my car, because it’s a little to heavy to bear..

So bernie, where do you get your news? Is “objectivity” anywhere in her portfolio?

The swooning Patreus, McChrystal the Malevolent, Obushma, the MSM. Sorry, I no longer believe anything proffered by any “official” sources. This nation is no longer credible. If it isn’t a classified subject, it’s presented as so much disinformation as to be useless to the thinking public but marvelous grist for the cheap rhetoric presented by our duplicitous “public servants” and their receptive talking-head toadies in the media. And to think that we have the audacity to still be making fun of “Bahgdad Bob”!

What is this? I thought we were in this specifically to kill civilians. Military heads should roll, I tell ya.

this article states the diametric opposite of an article today in the new york times. and rumour has it that wikileaks now has a video showing US/NATO forces a couple of months ago killing over 140 afghan civilians,  all unarmed and mostly young and children. what, my lai?
