#1 This one has a smell to it. Reeks of greed.

#3 Blew up Karzai's opium stash?

#4 Just some generals that Karzai wants shunted aside - probably nothing to do with the strikes at all. Can a high-echelon general do anything about a forward observer, anyway?

#5 This version reminds me of a cartoon from back in the mookie campaign in Najaf/Karbala - thousands of dead found, but they were digging up a cemetery. I can create a 'story' that both makes sense and fits the versions of both sides: we dropped a bomb on a meeting of bad guys held at their ammo dump in a cemetery. Lots of secondaries and lots of bodies.

#6 I do think it's time for Karzai to have an "accident", and someone from another tribe other than the Pashtuns to be elected to the presidency. Karzai has sided with the enemy.
