Afghan President Hamid Karzai has confirmed today that a weekend raid by US troops against the Logar Province ended with troops killing four innocent children who were tending livestock in a field.
Karzai’s statement condemned the killings, saying that “repeated pledges by NATO to avoid civilian casualties” were not being met, while expressing anger at continued strikes against residential areas.
Locals reported the children were killed in “missile attacks” during what NATO officials say was a raid aimed at capturing two militants. NATO would only say that it was “aware” of the situation and was investigating the claims.
US commander Gen. John Allen however has already issued a statement offering “condolence payments” to the families of the slain children, saying that officials were going to meet directly with them to discuss the payments.
Killing children does not seem to be murder if your government tells you to do it. Just ask the "Big O".
Yeah. Those kind of "questions" that never got asked during our show-trial "debates".
With the US everything is about money.
4 children killed so $4000 is given and their consciences are clear.
How do these people sleep at night?
GO HOME AMERICANS LET MY PEOPLE LIVE.
Did the mighty American soldiers rape the children as well? It seems that just the regular barbarism of killing children is not enough to give these monsters pause.
I note that the Yahoo article reduces the death of four children to "friction" between Kabul and the U.S. What a nice touch, monsters is right.
Karzai should inform the invaders that from now on, it will be an eye for an eye; that is, every time the precious life aof a child in Afghanistan is blown up to pieces, the victims should have the right to do the same thing in America. We'd see how fast the criminals leave Afghanistan alone.
Each child should be awarded one million dollars and those who killed them should be given twenty-year sentences in Gitmo.
If that happened, U.S. barbarism would soon cease!
Hooray for the troops! Because they are so heroic, because they are so patriotic…
Wars-R-US Inc, needs to keep expanding it's market share and what's a better way to make new customers, aka enemies, than to slaughter people's children?
Where are all the gun control freaks now?
US should bring home ALL its troops from ALL countries of the world, mothball their guns, and discharge them. The thousands of troops back in their communities, buying goods and supporting their families, will restore local economies

Jct: Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, I think they'd prefer the chance to slaughter a few yankee children back. That would slow down Barack Obomber's dronings of innocent people. But as long as they think they can just buy their way out… fat chance, someday, I want to see GuantanamObama in the prisoner's docket at his Crimes against Humanity trial. Sounds silly? Right now maybe but note how the mock trial of Roosevelt condemned him for the Pearl Harbor set-up. Posterity will judge the Master's nigger in the White House, bet on it.
