| #6 At least they didn't cut off their noses and ears and then leave them to die and then blow up the tankers. |

| #5 When the dancin's done, you STILL have to pay the piper. Sometime the payment's a bit steep. The moral here is that if you steal from Uncle Sam, you just might have to pay a very hefty price for doing so. I'm just sh$$ out of sympathy for the idjits in Afghanistan. |

| #4 Thou shalt not steal not in the Koran I guess. |

| #3 I seem to recall this was some time ago, and commentary was that a number of local villagers etc. came with containers to collect fuel from the stuck trucks, by invitation of the Taliban. |

| #2 The tankers were stuck in a riverbed - not in the middle of a village, on a road, or in a city. I doubt those were 'civilians' - at least not until after they were dead (and disarmed). Of course that doesn't fit the 'narrative' does it? |

| #1 The seems to be a lot of deliberation involved before finally pulling the trigger. 140+ dead, 40 of which were civilians? How is that determined - Taliban don't wear uniforms. Could be all talibs, or all civilians - they're not mutaually exclusive. Lastly - you live in a bandit culture, you should expect to be treated as a bandit. |
