#1 killed 43 ~~militants~~ innocent women and children.
I am confident it will be reported that way by tonight.

#2 Nothing posted at ISAF site or CJTF-101 site. News out of Afghanistan continues to be days behind if you are not present at briefings. For some reason, briefers provide more info than written mtls do, and sooner.

It's frustrating and unnecessary.

#3 We should use the same guns as the Pakistanis. For some reason, their's never seem to kill any women, kids, ducks, puppies, etc. when they go mook hunting. Maybe it's the ammo.
