Afghan President Karzai says too many civilian deaths by multi-national forces

www.washingtonpost.com...

The Afghan President Hamid Karzai has come out now and said that the death toll of the Afghan people is just becoming unacceptable.

This after a multi-national offensive led to the deaths of at least 45 Afghan civilians, and they are still pulling bodies out of the rubble.

Most of the deaths were actually caused by airstrikes, but the news will report it as a clash between MN forces, and insurgents.

The peoples outrage over the constant death of civilians is reaching a boiling point, where they are now storming government buildings, righfully so, and are getting shot and beat by the police.

The US military has said that they had killed terrorist Taliban and Al-Queda fighters, but they killed civilians! People that were running, they shot them.

This reminds me of the incident in Iraq on Haitha street in Baghdad, civilians were gathered around a blown up Humvee to see the carnage I guess, and in comes this helicopter firing rockets at the crowd, the Helicopter landed and soldiers pursued the people who fled. And the army reported that they had killed insurgents, but they killed civilians!

Even if they were fighting a real Al-Queda threat, which they arent, that still doesnt make it right to kill civilians in cold blood, and lie about it.

But people are getting fed up. Even the puppet government of Karzai set up by Bush, (Karzai is a major player in the oil pipeline project started right after 911, along with Bush, that would bring oil from the Caspian sea down thru Afghanistan, Pakistan, and out to the ocean to be exported to western markets) even he is now saying ok the civilian death toll is unacceptable.

As bad as some want to believe it,the ISAF does not intentionally target civilians. Now this is how it's done.Funny how you don't see that in the Washington Post.But then again,that would put them on our side.

I believe that the toll right now in Iraq should be unacceptable when right now everyday people are dying in great numbers.

Afghanistan is another issue, we don't get to know what is going on in that nation because all the news are directed to Iraq.

One of the way to push propaganda of the death toll is to say that the death is only either terrorist, insurgency or else and because of them civilians are dying.

Rarely you will see any media pointing out to actual women or children been caught in any struggles.

People has been prep to hear only what is good to be heard, that only bad people are within the death.

Yes, It is a ridiculously false claim, and it really is reminiscent of Goebbels Nazi propaganda, sometimes they would even use the word terrorist...

Civilians are targeted, as well as civilian centers. Ask any general and hell tell you, when you are invading a country, whats the first buildings you bomb? Hospitals...and the hospitals have been and are being bombed.

Its like in the fight with Israel and Lebanon, remember that? The Red Cross even said "every time we send a ambulance out, the Israelis always target them" Even the media admitted that ambulances and hospitals were being hit, but that "Hezbollah was hiding in the buildings" or "we made a mistake, we didnt mean to hit that ambulance" yet they hit them all the time.

Its the same in Afghanistan and Iraq. We have been in there slaughtering those people. If there is any real threat, its only from resistance fighters who are sick of seeing their fellow countrymen shot up and blown to pieces with cluster bombs.
