The number of civilian deaths in Afghanistan continues to rise. In the second high profile incident this week alone, officials say that NATO killed at least eight Afghan civilians in an overnight air strike in the restive Helmand Province. At least three of them were children.
The attack came near the Helmand capital of Lashkar Gah, when foreign forces called in an air strike after coming under ambush. It is unclear why the house was the target, as the fighters do not appear to have been near the house at the time of the bombing.
NATO has so far declined comment on the Helmand killings, and is still scrambling to explain away the even more high profile Kunar massacre on the other side of the country, in which forces, which NATO now claims were “non-military Americans” killed 10 Afghan civilians, eight of them children.
But virtually the entire British contribution to the war and an increasing number of US troops have been fighting in Helmand, where the Taliban’s power has grown so much that they are distributing travel permits to people coming in and out of Lashkar Gah. As NATO tries to convince the province’s residents accept them over the Taliban, the latest killings will likely do considerable harm to their PR campaign.
The real face of nato and american have no mercy on anyone in thisplant except the greed and selfish about oil they do not care innocent children and women this is a real nature of this barbaric nations the real enemy of god …… but true people of afghanistan and other part of mulsim world will never never let this infidals let them take one inch of land…. they will lose this is allah will.
HASH WE LIKE TOO SEND YOU ASSHOLES TOOYOUR VIRGENS AND ALLAH IS A RAG HEAD TOO
These are indisputably war crimes – and the American public will not tolerate the propaganda of "collateral damage" any longer. NATO is deeply unpopular in Afghanistan – and the war is deeply unpopular in major NATO nations including: Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. These war crimes are the reason.
Core problem:
Dickhead voters.
We can no longer afford to advance evile at the lesser rate.
We need to tell our neighbors to cut the shit and vote for the GOOD candidates,
or stay home and stop voting to have our brothers bombed.
The problem is not the wolves for being wolves, the CORE porblem is voters giving the wolves the keys to the military.
Witness the face of Nobel Peace prize winners! Yep! When someone offers to negotiate you make impossible demands with ridiculous time lines. When someone offers the olive branch of peace you throw up the middle finger and shoot them in the head or bomb them in their beds. That's the American way! And "Freedom" (whatever the hell that means anymore) isn't free because there's a heavy f**kin fee… and you're the one who's going to pay!
"They" hate us for our freedom to kill indiscriminately.
"NATO Kills at Least Eight Afghan Civilians in Fresh Air Strike." And what else should we expect from an evil military alliance that has no legitimate and rational reason to exist anymore? It is time for the North Atlantic Terrorist Organization to be disbanded.
NATO should have been dissolved 20 years ago, when the Soviet Union collapsed. Like all bureaucracies, however, it takes on a life of its own, desperately trying to find a reason to justify its existence. Like a teenager hanging around on a street corner with nothing to do, eventually it gets into trouble.
Yes NATO should have been disbanded 20 years ago. It is a relic of a bygone period. In its place should be an EU defense force completely free of Zionist/US influence. Its purpose should be only the defense of European civilization and maintaining order within Europe. . Eventually Russia and its European satelites should be brought in. The UN should be the only agency to maintain order outside of Europe where needed.
