Afghan children killed in attack

[All Else Failed]

well.....the coalition troops have to do everything by the book......would be easier for them if they were told to just go out there and sort it out.....no PC to appease the minorities back home.....just get the job done

and thats good. It prevents war crimes. What you want is chaos.

They need Bin Laden not his little people.

Oh yeah, that guy. Seems like we forgot about him, huh? Or do we really want to catch him at all?

YouTube - Bush "truly not concerned" about bin Laden!

I wouldn't be surprised if they intentionally do not want to capture him. We wil be in the middle east for a VERY LONG time for now on, and to gain at least SOME public support you need a scape goat to project to the masses to be afraid of. A "boogey man".

I really don't see that the death of Bin Laden will do anything for peace other than turn him into a martyr for fanatics anyway.

Bingo. It would be great to capture him, but it won't do anything to his movement.

Yeah, those thousands of guys in Afghanistan just twiddle their thumbs all day.

That could be, possibly, the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Definitely in the top 3.

No I believe what Bush just said in that video by far out-dumbs what I could ever say. haha

No sound at work, I'll have to wait til I get home to pass judgment on that.

 

[All Else Failed]

You'll laugh. I hope.

What does excuse the fact is that our troops were taking fire from the building, had a positive ID on the location of the fire, and took the steps needed to ensure their safety.

Agreed. They killed 2 kids. Sad, but not a horrible tragedy. I'm willing to bet that when we dropped the A-bomb on Japan, we killed a few innocent people. These soldiers were protecting themselves, and had no way of knowing that there were any kids in there. They were doing their job.

You're an idiot. Why the hell would we let some crazy fucker roam the world like that? We'll catch that bastard and make him suffer...don't care how they do it. It needs done.

 

[All Else Failed]

Take a deep breath and relax.

 

[HouseOvaries]

I don't care about Bin Laden and his terrorist groups. Fuck...burn them all to ashes.

That's a terrible situation, and I can't imagine how those troops are feeling. But it's not their fault the enemies barricaded themselves in a building that had kids in it. Should the troops have just walked away? How were they supposed to know who was in the building? They were in a life or death situation, and their survival is their priority. They neutralized the threat as best they could. The civilian casualties are regrettable, but unavoidable.
