I don't care how we got there or why. That is for a debate between the political winners and losers. If I am there (Afghanistan) and someone shoots at me and my troop I will shoot back. If that someone holds a child in front of him/her and machineguns my friends while hiding behind the child I 'will' shoot I will shoot at the head of the adult if possible but what ever happens is his/her fault, not mine. 'I' have a right to defend myself from harm or death. Let the courts settle it later. Also 'after' the shooter is dead, I will cry like a baby and carry the scars in my soul for the rest of 'my' life.

to ToolMangler,

You ask, "Could the children have been brought in another door?"

You make one of my points perfectly, if the idiots doing surveillance don't know to cover all entrances, and exits to determine the facts on a matter serious enough to launch deadly military force, then they shouldn't even be in uniform.

I suppose you will say next that the children could have been smuggled in underground...

[brianbwb-2009]

to ToolMangler

You ask, "They can kill children but we cannot?"
Don't want to miss out on the fun, huh?

Again, if they kill their own children, this is their own problem to deal with, not ours, and at any rate, was not even one of the reasons Bush lied about to send our military there. If they come to your town and kill your children, then you have every right to revenge, but right now who is in whose town, killing who, and why?

[toolmangler-2009]

Come on, dude, I know children who can lie better than that.

(CBS/AP) The deadliest insurgent attack since the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 destroyed a bus full of police instructors at Kabul's busiest transportation hub on Sunday, killing 35 people and wounding 52, officials said.


They can kill children but we cannot? Was the entrance the Predator had under survielance the 'only' one? Could the chiodren have been brought in another door?

sssshhheeeeeeessshhh!!!!! War is hell!! especially for chidren.

to liveleaker,

Would you rather the press kept hidden the reasons your children are dying in some foreign country,
or the fact that our "president" lied through his teeth to cause it to happen?

Oh yeah, they probably aren't your kids...

[brianbwb-2009]

to pwrslm,

You don't ask why the 35 people killed and injured in your scenario were killed in the first place, do you?

You sound like the early American settlers who would kill the "Indians" to possess their land, and when the "Indians" make a reprisal, you accuse them of attacking you, and then call for revenge, conveniently forgetting that you started the cycle of death.

If the Afghanis are a bunch of murderous thugs, this is not our problem, they must deal with it themselves, the US injected our children there, on basis of Bush's lies, we shot first.

And none of that 9/11 crapola, the so-called perpetrators were all Saudis, (if you believe the reports put out by Bush) not Afghanis, but your hero Bush isn't bombing their kids, is he?

Ecellent post pwrslm. Could not have said it better myself.

[liveleaker]

CBS exploiting anti-military propaganda yet again? Gee whiz, the media machine is so predictable: promote negative US spin. Enrage the left-wing, tin-foil hatted Bush haters. Sell more advertising. What's a few kids like when you're behind in advertising revenue? Priceless.

[barbaraf4]

Children died in Afghanistan? As tragic as this is, the children of the US die everyday in that Middle East blood bath. Bush sends your children and mine to be cannon fodder for his insane vision of democracy.

Let's impeach Bush and Chaney and bring all the children home. Of course then, we have President Pelosi.

[brianbwb-2009]

Back to Mr. Belcher, if you had surveillance on the compound all day, how is it you did not see children go in for school? Doesn't all day include morning? Schools in Muslim countries open after morning prayer, that would be about 7:00 am, did you miss that part of "all day"?

I take it you would have us believe that children are forcibly removed from their homes and kept prisoner overnight, so they wouldn't be seen entering, as they were already there, and that the families of these children would not actively protest such anti Islamic behavior?

Come on, dude, I know children who can lie better than that.

What happens when you go out and kill 35 people and injure a few hundred more, and then Run?

You are followed.

When you run back to your home, where your family and children live, and take your instruments of death with you, into your home, do you expect that nobody will be hurt when you resist the law when it comes to arrest you?

Why do you put innocent childrens lives between you are the law? Why do you put your children between you, and the bullets that will surely be aimed at you because you resist arrest with deadly violence?

Why do you sacrifice the children to the fire? The political games you play, to make the police look like criminals, it does not work any more.

We are on to you, you are the lowest criminal element there is. You hide behind your own children, knowing that they will die, hoping that when they do, you will be vindicated.

You are no shining light in a dark place, you are the darkness that does not know the light.

[luvny-2009]

bernieb14 Well let's see yourself..It was an Islamic school

[brianbwb-2009]

to rlenham,

In case you don't know a madrassah is a public school, supported by the government, that includes religious material in the curriculum. Madrassahs don't "teach hate" as you and others wish to believe, any more than a private school run by Christians in the US does.

You are a victim of brainwashing, the chicken hawks have succeeded in getting you to believe their agitprop.

Obviously you have never seen a madrassah, or else you would know that you have been lied to. If you have, then you are participating in deliberate misrepresentation.

[panhandlpete]

It is also time to find out who were the real masterminds behind 9/11, it's starting to smell more and more like an "inside jab"...

Ditto to that comment!

Answer just one question for yourself.....How was it possible to get the Patriot Act written, voted on, and law in such a short time span? Preplanning perhaps?

The TRUTH will never be known as this Administration uses the "I don't recall" philosophy that once done, all should be forgiven and forgotten.

Housecleaning of all Elected Officials who currently support this war and any who voted for it.

[brianbwb-2009]

to fillyfan3

Yes, you missed it,

"Coalition troops had "surveillance on the compound all day and saw no indications there were children inside the building," said Maj. Chris Belcher, a coalition spokesman."

The next sentence,

He accused the militants of not letting the children leave the compound that was targeted."

About as "human shield" as it gets, yes?

So which is it, Belcher? How would they know it was "targeted", do you tell them beforehand?

[rlenham-2009]

It was NOT a school as we know it. It was a madrassah where young kids are taught to hate and grow up to blow themselves to bits in the name of Islam.

[brianbwb-2009]

sorry, I meant "inside job", does anyone really think there have been no more "attacks" because the Keystone Kops finally got their act together for just this one problem?

[panhandlpete]

Well, I guess it is obvious these were children, and they couldn't deny that. When you read the words, insurgents, suspects, and militants, it is questionable that labels get pinned on them to justify(in the public's opinion) the killings. Each side is fighting for what they think is right (for them), and they both are guilty of taking innocent lives, adults and children. That is the waste and cruelty of war!

Could it be that they targeted the police to send a message against oppression and control? Not all Afghans are in favor of permanent military bases and foreign interference from NATO.

[davegf]

They claim AQ was using the kids as shields.....if they were using them as shields, AQ would of made sure their enemy knew they were there, not hid them, right?

LOL

More u.s. terrorism.
