Afghan President Urges U.S. to Use Caution in Hunting Militants Following Civilian Deaths

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai on Sunday urged U.S.-led forces to use "extreme caution" in their pursuit of Taliban and al-Qaida militants after at least two civilians were killed in an airstrike.
While the Afghan government is committed to helping foreign forces fight terrorism, it is also "aware of its responsibility to the Afghan people to ensure their safety," Karzai's office said in a statement. snip

The U.S. military initially said three civilians and four militants were killed in the airstrike on Friday during a two-day offensive in central Uruzgan province, the latest in a series of incidents to result in noncombatant deaths.

U.S. spokeswoman Lt. Cindy Moore on Sunday cut the official civilian toll from the airstrike to two - a woman and a child. She had no explanation for the revision. Two wounded civilians were still being treated at a U.S. base, she said.

1. Oh please, George, pretty please

don't kill any more women and children. It doesn't make Karzai look good.

2. What really bothers me is that WE are..

the bad guys. WE are killing innocent people with these 'wars' to divert our treasury into the pockets of war profiteers. There is absolutely no reason to be killing these people.

This is absolutely not what I want for America.

We, the fucking USA, are the most terrorist of all nations and I am so embarrassed to be an American.

This is in no way represent the way I feel for our fellow human beings.

These fucking pricks in Washington have no conscience except for the power of money. And that is disgusting...

What's the old Pogo line? "We have met the enemy, and he is us."?

10. So Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rove get together to discuss Karzai's

request.

Consensus: Is he kidding...this is war...it's only two...forget it...make up a story for the press, then coach George.



So tell us Karzai, how did this story about your request get out?

12. Get a grip! "Freedom isn't free".

So, it's open season on everything and everybody over there including funerals and weddings...and, everything / everyone in between.

And, you'll thank us when all is said and done. We promise.
