NATO forces expressed “regret” today after an overnight raid in the Uruzgan Province left an Afghan mother wounded and her infant dead. Forces insisted they went out of their way to protect civilians.
The latest incident came just over a week after an overnight attack in the nearby Ghazni Province left four civilians dead. After those killings, NATO pledged to revise rules to severely curb the number of nighttime raids they launched in the future, in an effort to bring down the number of civilian deaths.
US officials defended the incident, insisting that Gen. McChrystal simply hasn’t issued the new directive that would curb the raids. A statement insisted that unspecified efforts were still made.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai again demanded that NATO end the night raids, though he did not specifically mention that Uruzgan incident. The growing civilian toll has sparked anger, and growing complaints from the Karzai government.
If Karzai was a true President of the Afghan Prople and NOT AN AMERICAN PUPPET – he would show some sign of leadership and kick NATO and America out of Afghanistan.
BUT he is a PUPPET leader set up by the USA and he has no concerns f or empathy with Afghans or Afghanistan.
When the money and supply of American servicement and women runs out the Afghan People will finally have justice.
"NATO forces expressed “regret” today after an overnight raid in the Uruzgan Province left an Afghan mother wounded and her infant dead." Now don't forget Americans and Europeans, NATO is in Afghanistan to bring freedom and democracy to the Afghan people – even if that means murdering innocent men, women, children and babies by the tens of thousands. Doesn't it make just make your heart pound with pride?
"There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people."–Howard Zinn
Karzai is such a tool. Time and again he issues these laughable and meaningless diktats from his armored palace to a country who would probably be happy to see him hang.
