95 Afghan Civilians Dead in Worst U.S. Massacre of War

They never did anything to us, no matter what you think of their culture.

Actually, this will save the women and children the abuse at the hands of their men, so I guess the U.S. "liberated" these women and children from their women-hating husbands, right, racist, Zionist-controlled AmeriKan MSM?

This is the kind of thing that is ripping my soul out and filling me with rage.


"Karzai denounces US-led air strike that killed civilians; About 70 die in Afghanistan" by M. Karim Faiez, Los Angeles Times | August 24, 2008

KABUL, Afghanistan - Government officials who traveled yesterday to Azizabad in Herat Province, where the operation took place, said the death toll had risen to 95, including civilians. That makes it one of the deadliest bombing strikes on civilians in six years of the war.

Accounts of the fighting provided by Afghan authorities, human rights groups, and the US military have varied widely, and the remoteness of the area made it difficult to determine exactly what happened.

But when it is a "suicider," the Zionist MSM doesn't need to verify, ever notice that?

Local authorities reported villagers threw stones at Afghan soldiers who arrived in Azizabad yesterday to distribute aid, and that soldiers eventually fired into the air to disperse the protesters.

These weren't "Taliban!"

These were REGULAR PEOPLE TRYING TO LIVE LIFE!!!!

Ghulam Azrat, 50, the director of the middle school in Azizabad, said he collected 60 bodies Friday morning after the bombing. "We put the bodies in the main mosque," he told the Associated Press by phone. "Most of these dead bodies were children and women. It took all morning to collect them."

GRUESOME!!!!!

Azrat said villagers threw stones at Afghan soldiers when the troops tried to give food and clothes to them. He said the soldiers fired into the crowd and wounded eight people, including one child critically injured.

Yeah, here to HELP!! OUR GUYS!!!

"The people were very angry," he said. "They told the soldiers, 'We don't need your food; we don't need your clothes. We want our children. We want our relatives. Can you give it to us? You cannot, so go away.' "

That's got the old rainbucket filling up under this bloggers' eyes, readers!

An Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission researcher visited Azizabad and found that 15 houses had been destroyed and others were damaged, said Ahmad Nader Nadery, the group's commissioner.

Nadery confirmed reports from villagers that a memorial ceremony was being held for a deputy militia commander allied with the Afghan police named Timor Shah, who had died in a personal dispute several months ago. Because of the memorial, relatives and friends from outside Azizabad were staying overnight in village homes, he said.

So the US BOMBED a FUNERAL PARTY for ONE OF ITS OWN!!

WE BOMBED OUR "FRIENDS," folks!!!!

An AP photographer who visited Azizabad yesterday said he saw at least 20 graves, including some graves with multiple bodies in them.

U.S. MASS GRAVES!!!! You know, like Saddam's!!!

He said he saw about 20 houses that had been destroyed. The US said it would investigate the conflicting reports.

FUCK YOU and your FUCKING INVESTIGATIONS!!!!!

This is MURDER, dammit!!!!

"Obviously there's allegations and a disconnect here. The sooner we can get that cleared up and get it official, the better off we'll all be," said US coalition spokesman First Lieutenant Nathan Perry.

Translation: The sooner we can COVER IT UP and GET IT OUT of the PAPERS, the better!!!

Here is more from my local:

"Complicating the matter, Afghan officials are known to exaggerate civilian death claims for political payback, to qualify for more compensation money from the U.S. or because of pressure from the Taliban.

Yeah, right, the Afghans are EXAGGERATING the DEATHS!

Just like the U.S. exaggerated 9/11 fatalities, right, racist Zionist MSM?


Still, the U.S. has killed dozens of civilians in past strikes even though it first denied any civilians had been hit.

Yeah, "still," those Muslims MIGHT be telling the truth!

This kind of "journalism" is enough to make you want to puke!


In early July, U.S. bombs killed 47 civilians walking to a wedding party in Nuristan province, according to the findings of a government commission. The U.S. military originally said it believed only combatants had been killed, and suggested that reports of civilians deaths were based on propaganda from militants.

Well, it takes one to know one, and given the U.S. record for propaganda pushing... this type of U.S. bullshit makes you reach for an airsick bag!


The U.S. later acknowledged that there may have been civilian casualties but never gave a specific number.

Yeah, we just hope it goes away -- and it usually does, thanks to the agenda-pushing Zionist MSM!!!
