You heard about the yankee army in afghanistan..?
the afghans were celebrating something and shot with their guns in the sky and the US idiots took it as someone was attacking them and went in with B52īs and bombed the place..that is absouloutly unacceptable!
it is because things like this why the yankees are afraid of the international criminal court!
they are basically showing the rest of the world the finger by saying "they fear that the court may begin pointing their eyes at US soldiers..man this pisses me off!

sorry if this is sounding childish or something like that I just heard this, and maybe I am not thinking straight..but my anger against the US government increases!!

It was a accident, they didn't do it on purpose. Civilian death is always going to happen in a war, there is no avoiding that. If you think you can go threw a whole war without any civilain casualties you are mistaken.

The bombing wasn't an accident, the U.S would look for any reason to bomb somthing so that they can appear to be doing something worthwhile during their "war on terror".

Red, the US is notorious for friendly fire and civilian bombings. In Vietnam a quarter of all military wounded/killed is attributed to friendly fire. And i haven't even started with the civilian butchery in Vietnam, which we all know what ridiculously unnecessary.

Red?!?!? this comes from you..?
I know that civilian killings are unfleeable in war..? but they didnīt even send marines (wich they are so proud of) to check out what was going on, just planly bombed them, and then they said "sorrry" wtf is that?
they bombed a wedding..
I have two words for you, war crimes!

The media coverage of this event seems more nebulas than usual.
I belive this is intentional.
As i understand it, the Pentagon have put forward several senarios of what might have happend as they are not ready to take the blame for it all yet.
The senario the media has jumped on is the "Bombing by mistake or misunderstanding" Blue On Blue type thing because it gets people chatting.
If the media can sell papers they are happy.If they create a framework for people to debate in the Pentagon is happy.

I saw a peice today say that the bombing thesis has been _disproven_ as local US soiliders saw the rouge laser guided bomb blow up in the middle of no-where. (This is important.The press do not often compltly make something up - an existing event is twisted.In this case a bomb _had_ gone missing.)
It would appear that the wedding had actully been strafted.
The planes swooped in,and shot up.
It is unlikly they were B-52s because they are high altitude craft.
The converted ground attack Hercs are more likly.Alledgely speical forces were being flow about too.

If ground attack craft and special forces were being moved around it would imply they are going to be used.
I would like to know what other stuff was around in the village or the surrounding area that would cause the USAF and it's buddies to have their war hats on.

Angry, I understand what you are saying but I find it hard to beleive that the U.S. had seen a wedding going on and decided to open fire or bomb a whole wedding killing numerous people and injurying others. I beleive it was truley a mistake.

Benjammin, Vietnam is a whole other issue.

How do you call this a unjustifable war??? What do you think they should do??? Let the Bin Laden terror organization walk free for what they did??? Kill all those fuckers that are involved with Bin Laden!!! How dare you call it a unjustifable war. You wouldn't be saying that if one of your family members died in New York!!

Red, I was not saying that they knew about the wedding I am prettyt sure they didnīt (unless they are completly cold blooded murderers) but I am saying that they should have sent in infantry first to see what wasgoing on or at least send in an aircraft with a camera they can even use satillites for that, I mean use their "technological superioroty" wich they are always claming they have!
but civilian killing is never to be justified! it is just in most cases unfleeable, but,
in this case it was NOT unfleeable, and all they say is "the american government sends their regards to those who had family there"
just shows how stupid they are!
gmg, this case troubles me a lot..

ok,The alledged bombing took place on the day that the US declaired it would no longer be involved with "peace keeping" opperations in the balkans unless it's troops are granted immunity from prosecution.
The attack provided good media cover for this.The US is not often blamed for this kind of thing.They get a bollocking in the Liberal press,come out and say it was an accedent ,and everyone says how "acidents happen in war"
They've done just that.
Now ,you have to ask yourself , would the US adminstration, murder people, for bad press to cover bad press?
There are a couple of possible answers ican see

1) the USAF did blow up the wedding, it was an accident and it was convinent

2) the USAF did blow up the wedding but they mistook it for something else (apparently it is the done thing for rounds to be fired into the air at weddings etc)

3) the USAF deliberatly attacked a target,knowing they could get away with it, to give the press and chattering classes something else to talk about other than the "peace keeping" thing

4) the attack it's self never took place.It's an orcastrated press misinformation action (with or without press help) to divert attention the "peace keeping" issue would get

5) any of the above but thec "peace keeping " issue is a red herring and something else is afoot.

This is the second time they've blown up an Afghan wedding party. You'd think they would ask questions and shoot later.


3) the USAF deliberatly attacked a target,knowing they could get away with it, to give the press and chattering classes something else to talk about other than the "peace keeping" thing

Just like when the Lewinski scandal came out and suddenly Clinton was bombing Iraq again.
