The US-led forces in Afghanistan have killed a young Afghan girl and a policeman in the east of the Asian country nearly two months after the foreign forces took the lives of nine Afghan children, NATO says.

According to a NATO statement on Thursday, the US-led troops killed the young girl and the policeman in Nangarhar province's Surkh Rod district on Wednesday during an overnight raid, the Associated Press reported.

According to a neighbor, the girl was only 12 years old.

In May, a US-led airstrike in northeast Afghanistan killed nine children, aged between seven and nine, who were collecting firewood.

All around.

2. See, they don't 'hate us for our freedoms' they hate us because we bomb their women and children

and, really, can you blame them for that?

4. Our Middle East policies and holier than thou had a lot to do with the

earlier attacks, but, yes, we've given Arabs and other Muslims so many more reasons since then.

And I don't think Muslims of amy ethnicity are buying that we really love them to bits, except for the radical jihadists who want to kill us. The number of radical jihadists we've killed or hurt is miniscule compared to the number of innocent Arabs, Afghanis and Pakistanis we've killed, wounded, or otherwise harmed gravely. And then, there's Iran....

Yes, I can understand why they think we are, at best, indifferent to the suffering of Muslims generally.


"Hate us for our freedoms" was probably originated by Turd Blossom, lover of the the Big Lie, and was definitely disseminated by Idiot Son and his drinking buddies.

3. When do we start counting the total number of innocents?

When will the number be counted as so high that there is no justification for the action and the victims' country will be deemed to be deserving of taking justice into their own hands?

5. Winning the hearts and minds or are we?

I am assuming that the young girl and policeman both had families that loved them; let’s say 20 relatives a piece. That figures 40 potential terrorists who now hate us and want to get even for this one incident. It’s easy to understand that our WAR ON TERRORISM is a loosing proposition.
