Afghans: Wedding Party Bombed, 27 Dead

U.S. Says Only Insurgents Were Hit By Coalition Aircraft, Blames Militant Propaganda For Report

(AP)  Afghan officials say fighter aircraft battling militants in Afghanistan accidentally killed up to 27 Afghans walking to a wedding ceremony early today.

It's the second military attack in three days with reports of civilian deaths.

But the U.S. military blames the claims on militant propaganda, saying its missiles only hit insurgents. A spokesman says the military has repeatedly seen militants falsely claim civilians were killed.

Even so, the American commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan tells The Associated Press that the two reports are being investigated.

President Hamid Karzai had already ordered an investigation into allegations that missiles from U.S. helicopters struck civilians on Friday in eastern Afghanistan.

But the Defense Ministry said today that the attack killed or wounded 20 militants.

The issue of civilian casualties has caused friction between the Afghan government and U.S. and NATO troops. And it's weakened the standing of the Western-backed Karzai in the eyes of the population.

Shut up WarDog. The only ones marketing mass death are MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALISTS. NOT AMERICA. Your propaganda doesn''''t change any of this. ANY OF IT.

ISLAM is creating a MASS MARKET OF DEATH. NOT AMERICA

Now swastika breath THAT is just a LIE! George W. Bush brought a lot of death and distruction to a country that NEVER attacked us, NEVER had any Weapons to harm us NOR did they have the ability to attack us. In OTHER words WE invaded an INNOCENT County. Let''s at least be HONEST about our OWN Dictator BEFORE we attack our neighbors and fellow citizens. BUSH is a KILLER on a massive scale AND he LIED to do it. THESE are nothing but facts! SIEG HEIL AND AMEN

[toolmangler-2009]

The fact that every civillian killing is a ''wedding party'' is disturbing to say the least. It is ok for them to bomb funerals and this is completely understandable. The funerals are theirs and they can do with them as they wish. But this indiscriminate destruction of wedding parties must stop ''NOW''. No wonder the world hates America, we kill the wrong party everytime.

[whiskyrocker]

Keep dropping the bombs.***% the wedding.

Does anyone really think that we are accomplishing anything of value by continuing to mass-murder the women and children of Afghanistan?

Is there anything more cowardly than bombing civilians from an airplane?

Get the hell out of Afghanistan and Iraq, and focus on bringing our own murderous extremist tyrants to account!

[wardoglrs]

''Terrorism'' is a political term applied to anyone who has a different point of view. Anyone who opposes the criminal interventions of the US is --by Bush''s decree --a ''terrorist''! If you merely dissent, you may be defined as a terrorist. The Bush regime is now claiming that he has the authority under the pretext of a phony war to define citizens of other nations as terrorists. He demands of other nations, for example, that they provide his administration with the records of their citizens whenever Bush may ''deem'' them guilty of terrorism.

Be warned! If you are but ''deemed'' a terrorist, you are deprived of the right to be represented by a lawyer, you don''t get to make a phone call, you may not demand a hearing, you are robbed of habeas corpus --a right England demanded of King John and got!

Gosh, I thought the comments were especially blood thirsty and bitter today, then I remembered it''s Sunday and the Christians are home.

[feelfree4u]

RE: "But the U.S. military blames the claims on militant propaganda, saying its missiles only hit insurgents."

Obviously this has been proven to be completely false, over and over again. They hit wedding parties, and claim that they killed "insurgents".

Obviously our military is riddled with liars, cowards, and idiots.

This "war" is a sham and a disgrace.

Good luck to the people of Afghanistan in defending yourselves!

Are you claiming that the U.S. soldiers that murdered these civilians were Muslims?

You don''t seem to be making any sense, as usual.Is your Master, Beelzebub, pleased about these murdered women and children?

[cantshutup]

As usual, the deranged far-left always finds away to bash Christianity on any given day, meanwhile innocent people continue to be murdered all over the globe in the name of ISLAM.The sick delusional leftists though, they hate Christianity just like the jihadists do...posted by globalcool08

guess what? the muslims learned from the christians how to convert with the sword...ever heard of a little thing called the inquisition? or the crusades? or even those jews that killed jesus? please don''t defend christianity...it''s just as corrupt and evil as islam...really, we athiests see no difference between the two...Also, just because someone doesn''t agree with murdering innocent iraqis or supporting the international serial killer bush, doesn''t mean they''re left-winged "libs"...there are conservatives such as myself that still believe the constitution is more than a "go d amned piece of paper". btw, talking to a republicon is like talking to a brainwashed zombie.

[toolmangler-2009]

The next wedding party will be hit by an RPG disguised as a hellfire missle just like this one.

[feelfree4u]

globalcool08,

Re: "FeelFree4U - your buddies the jihadists are the ones responsible for murdering innocent civilians, not American troops."

You wrongly assume that because you are a religious nutter extremist, that everyone else must be.

These American bombs, fired by U.S. troops, murdered more innocent women and children. Do you look to your Master, Beelzebub, for guidance in personal responsibility?

Re: "But you already knew that, and you are on these forums EVERY SINGLE DAY defending these ISLAMIC MURDERERS left and RIGHT because you know as well as I do that you are ONE OF THEM and that you CANNOT LEAVE YOUR RELIGION out of fear of death."

I am not religious, Rick. You seem to be too stupid to understand this, and you have failed over and over to cite a single example of my pro-Islam writings, because there are none. You are a fraud, a hypocrite, and a sickening coward, with your mind and mouth full of Beelzebub.

It is you and your Master, Beelzebub, that are aroused by the slaughter of innocent brown people Rick. You and the Zionist nutters and terrorists.

[feelfree4u]

It''s easy to see who the religious extremists are who are doing most of the murdering/maiming/torturing/stealing, Rick, and who wants to have a holy war but is too craven to fight it, Rick, and it ain''t the Muslims.

[feelfree4u]

Re: "It is YOU and your JIHADIST pals that are terrorists you nimrod,"

Posted by globalcool08

If you keep repeating this over and over, Rick, eventually your Master, Beelzebub, might believe it.

The only way that you seem to be able to make your twisted and craven world make any sense, is to imagine scary Muslims everywhere you look.

Zionists have a Nazi trapped in their head. You have a Muslim trapped- or both.

[feelfree4u]

Can you read, Rick?

"Afghan officials say fighter aircraft...killed up to 27 Afghans walking to a wedding ceremony early today."

Can you? Or are you still blinded by Beelzebub?

How many more Muslims must we murder for your Master, Rick?

[feelfree4u]

Re: "And it''s weakened the standing of the Western-backed Karzai in the eyes of the population."

Just how much weaker can the "Mayor of Kabul" really get?

[feelfree4u]

Re: "Islam is a religion of death..."

The crusade must go on ,many weddings must be bombed,many doors kicked in before we are victorious winning the hearts & minds of the people-look how well Nam went after saving all those viiages with the torch .Our propaganda system will make it all so nice for the world.

[feelfree4u]

Exxon-Mobil will no doubt find a way to profit from these dead Afghan civilians.

[gce65]

According to US military officials everyone''s an insurgent or a militant.
And Pat Tillman died in a heroic firefight with insurgents, not by "friendly fire."
And Jessica Lynch was captured in a fierce firefight after expending all her ammo and later heroically rescued in a secret operation, not the truth she later exposed.
Is it any wonder people don''t believe the US military or the "official story?"

[jydavis1]

It will soon be evident to even the casual observer that 9/11 was, in essence, a financial event. The corporate powers that own US knew well in advance that peak oil, job outsourcing, the debt economy and the failing US dollar would soon doom the American way of life. 9/11 was an attempt by our masters to postpone this basic reality. It has failed and spells the end of the American Empire. Be skeptical of the next %u201Cattack%u201D. The elite will stop at nothing to further enslave us.

This is how it ALWAYS works under the Bush regime. Women, children, elderly, infirmed - if they''re hit and killed by Americans, they''re labeled as "insurgents". Age, gender, affiliation - NONE of it matters. A two year old girl killed by American fire, is going to be labeled an insurgent just as quick as a 20 year old male with a rocket launcher is.

The ONLY thing that matters, is the story that is SOLD to the American people - not the ACTUAL truth.

Your scientist calculated his answer on TIME cause he needs more time but has plenty of money. Now have him do the calculations of what it would cost low income Americans to round it up to the nearest "nickel" and don''t use the smaller numbers, i.e. $1.99 to $2.00 and then he has to figure out an average of what different locations charge for sales tax. Around here we have mostly 8.5% and 10%. Then have him back on the show to tell us what we would lose on the TVs, washing machines, etc. that we have to purchase. We have more time than money. Thank you and no one is going to round down except employers when it is to their benefit! Thanks.

I once saw 27 people get bombed at a wedding party once.

But seriously...

That which comes from the U.S. government, or the "militants"?

We can say that the new couple started their marriage with a bang.

[naucoming4u]

And I thought the wedding ceremony tradition of breaking plates on the ground was odd!

I guess the folks in the Middle East didn''t want to be outdone... so they started bringing in packs of C-4 explosives!

Now that''s called... having a blast!
