Red Cross: Many Afghans Dead After US Bombings
Edited on Wed May-06-09 06:46 AM by Mari333
winning hearts and minds! dont worry!! if you give them bibles and ask them to accept jesus, then you can slaughter them and know they went to heaven!
HEY OBAMA. END THIS SHIT.

'The international Red Cross confirmed "dozens of bodies" on Wednesday in graves and rubble where Afghan officials alleged U.S. bombs killed civilians, and the Afghan president said his first meeting with President Barack Obama would focus on the issue.

The international Red Cross reported Wednesday that its officials saw women and children among dozens of dead bodies in two villages targeted by airstrikes, while the U.S. military sent a brigadier general to the region to investigate.'

24. I'm not a monster. I feel like
I've been tilting at windmills here for the last six months, arguing that this shit has to stop, that this is why we are 'losing' Pakistan and Afghanistan, and yet, the vast majority of voices even here on a 'liberal' board like DU argue in favor of continued murder and warfare.

17. Yes we know.
But that doesn't mean he shouldn't reconsider, admit his mistake and stop this brutal idiocy.

He's an intelligent adult, he can admit a mistake and we will respect him for it.

13. Those devious terrorists!
How depraved can they be, putting civilians, women and children, under our bombs and in the way of our bullets.

Are we addicted to violence, or what? Someday it's going to dawn on someone that you can't bomb and shoot your way to a peaceful solution. The Taliban would be in big trouble in Afghanistan if we were building schools, enforcing commerce laws, and establishing a society where people had better assurance that they could enjoy the fruits of their labor.

18. Great. We've got Canadians in there
And any enraged Afghani is NOT going to make a distinction between us and Americans.

What a mess.

19. No doubt they were preparing to launch landing craft to assault New Jersey. K&R
Just look at all the ship yards and harbors in Afghanistan jam packed with terrorists and goats that threaten the "Land of the free and the home of the brave".
