Afghanistan

US Bombs another "Wedding Party".

2008-11-05

WECH BAGHTU, Afghanistan -- An Afghan villager at the scene of an apparent U.S. bombing says 23 children and 10 women attending a wedding party are among 37 Afghans killed during a U.S. fight with the Taliban.

The U.S. military says it is investigating the reports but a spokesman said "if innocent people were killed in this operation, we apologize and express our condolences."

President Hamid Karzai has made an immediate demand of President-elect Barack Obama to prevent civilian casualties.

Get in line, buddy, the Messiah is going to be busy for a while ...

Kandahar province villager Abdul Jalil says he was hosting a wedding party for his niece when Taliban militants fighting U.S. forces took cover near his home. Jalil says 37 people were killed when U.S. warplanes later bombed the wedding party.

We didn't bomb the wedding party, we bombed the Taliban militants. Your wedding party got in the way. Next time when the Taliban come along to hide at or near your home ... kill them for us.

#6 Plan B has always been to pull out and remind the Taliban and other tribes that if we see al Qaeda filtering back into the country, we'll be back. At 30,000 feet.

Someone tells him that it is still Bush who gives the orders.
