Afghan report: NATO strike killed 65 civilians

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Sixty-five civilians, including 40 children, were killed in a NATO assault on insurgents in eastern Afghanistan earlier this month, according to findings of an Afghan government investigation released Sunday.

Tribal leaders had alleged that dozens of civilians were killed in the operation in Kunar province, which involved rocket and air strikes, but NATO has not confirmed any civilian deaths.

The incident inflamed tensions between the Afghan government and NATO forces, and both sides opened investigations.

Civilian deaths have been increasing in recent months as insurgents appear to become more indiscriminate in their targets, attacking banks, supermarkets and sporting events. At least three separate attacks Sunday, including one targeting spectators at an illegal dog fight, killed nine Afghan civilians and two NATO service members, officials said.

1. Every day these criminal attacks are being ordered against
   
innocent civilians, who are the ones who die in them.

And we point fingers at Qaddafi and Mubarak! While these horrific, murderous attacks go almost unreported.

There have been huge demonstrations in Afghanistan and Pakistan against these murders of innocents.

I guess they will need a revolution against NATO forces and access to the social media, to stop these crimes against their citizens.

There peaceful demonstrations over the years, have gone largely unreported here.

The U.S. is going to have to change its murderous policies. It is being exposed now every day and NO ONE wants the U.S. and its brutal Western allies in their countries!

This is heart-breaking. It is slaughter and in the most cowardly possible way. By remote control!

Shame on this administration for continuing these crimes. They are now complicit, with blood on their hands.

Shall we start impeachment hearings and frog march Obama?

You may have noticed that DUmmy stevenumbers has recently become kpete's idiot son, filling the DUmp with worthless copy-and-paste jobs. The perpetually rejected, love-starved stevenumbers is still trying to understand that TV warning about getting medical attention in the event of an erection lasting over four hours. He's going on twenty years.
