The military says an estimated 26 Afghan civilians died in the May 4 incident. It is most likely that the deaths occurred during three bombing runs by a B-1 bomber.
Those are the conclusions of a report issued Friday following a lengthy investigation. The military report says it is impossible to know for sure how many civilians died and does not rule out that the number could have been higher.
Local Afghan officials have said as many as 140 people were killed.

Notwithstanding the fact that we have no legal reason to even be there, that the Taliban were the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan before Bush's lies caused the invasion, and that it is a pointless projection of military hostility by the US without factual justification, it also is standard for the military to lie when their "keystone kops" routine results in innocents dying.
President Obama is understandably afraid of the assassins waiting to kill him and his family should he dry up this cash cow, but hey dude, you ran for the job with your eyes wide open, now do what US and international law dictates, end this farce, and bring those who caused it to justice.
Dwizzle, dwazzle, dwuzzle, dwome, time for our troops to come home.

Whatever the reparations, apologies, whatever, the Afrans people will still hate us for these bombings. Especially the ones that lose family members. No efforts we make can win these folks hearts and minds when this happens.
INTENTIONALLY
In Hungary, the public rebels against Mafia capitalism (as opposed to real Capitalism), so they are "bombed" into submission financially.
In Afghanistan, the public (NOT just the so-called Taliban) rebel against the foreign invasion of their homeland, so they are bombed literally.
