The US has the most wonderful weapons. Our bombs and missiles only kill terrorists, insurgents, and militants. They never kill innocent civilians. If you don''t believe it, just ask any government mouthpiece, and they will confirm it.

The province''s governor said 22 civilians, including a woman and a child, were killed.

Why yes, I''m gullible enough to believe the province''s governor. After all he lives there and is provided protection & payment by ....... Nato. Right??

The civilians were just forced to go along to cover the story for Nato. Right again??

Me speakum truth - No Taliban or Militant here! I just smokum the opium. Lot to do as province''s governor.

More "hearts & minds success",they will not be cheered for life by our men in uniform kicking their door in-must be the concept by the same brains that stop suicide bombers by torture threats.

And the extermination continues............

More than a year and half before 911 the CIA Special Activities Division was conducting operations in Afghanistan, trying to topple the Taliban regime for the Caspian Sea Oil & Gas Pipelines...........We now call such activities terror.



February 12, 1998 John J. Maresca vp of UNOCAL oil appeared before a House sub committee. The purpose of the meeting was to gain support for exploitation of oil & natural gas resources, for the rights purchased by BIG OIL in the Caspian Sea area.

In his testimony he stated, "The key question is how the energy resources of Central Asia can be made available to nearby Asian markets ".

The exploitation option stated : "One obvious route south would cross Iran, but this is foreclosed by American companies because of U.S. sanctions (with Iran ) .
The only other possible route is across Afghanistan, which of course has it''s own unique challenges. " He continued saying, " the pipeline we have proposed across Afghanistan could not begin until a recognized government is in place that has the confidence of governments,lenders (world monitary fund & world bank ) ,and our company "......"

UNOCAL and other American companies are prepared to undertake the job ".

No such thing as "innocent" people in Afghanistan. Besides, all civilians and enemies there are Mulsims. No such thing as an innocent Muslim.

Afghans say civilians.
U.S. says combatants.

They were probably civilians AND combatants. The locals dont want us there. We should leave.
