In today’s NY Crimes there’s a report that “an airstrike against what was believed to be a group of insurgents ended up killing at least 27 civilians in Oruzgan Province”. So much for the “clean new tactic” of sparing civilians and conquering hearts and minds! This is not a War Game!
Disappointing, disturbing and deadly double talk! Again!
The other disturbing fact is that the article is quick to quote our military leaders who say that the Dutch were involved in this… wait a minute aren’t they all part of the same “coalition”? …when good things (whatever those are: least bad?) happen, it’s the US that does it but when things go awry it’s because someone else did it…or because our local “allies” are not up to the task…
Welcome to AfghanistNam!
