Losing hearts and minds and lives as the war rages on in Afghanistan.
U.S.strikes in Afghanistan killed 100-150 civilians which brought out rage against the United States.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai said this is unjustifiable and
unacceptable.
20,000 U.S. troops are set to arrive in Afghanistan in the recent months ahead.
The United States is fighting two wars at the same time our young people are being sent to Afghanistan in the thousands,well anti-war protester in the United States protest the war in Afghanistan as they did for seven year's over the war in Iraq?




KABUL Jason Motlagh/ Kabul – Fri May 8, 5:55 am ET
Afghanistan is in an uproar following U.S. airstrikes that may have killed more than 100 civilians in the western part of the country. Reports from Farah province said that on Thursday a mob of several hundred protesters chanted anti-American slogans and threw rocks outside at provincial governor's office before being disbursed by police gunfire. In Kabul, outraged lawmakers called for new laws to clamp down on foreign military operations. Ahead of talks with President Obama in Washington, Afghan President Hamid Karzai bluntly said the deaths were "unjustifiable and unacceptable.

Doesn't this make President 0bama a murdering war criminal? Should we turn him over to an international war crimes tribunal or impeach him? Or both? That's what I want to know! What about the leftist peace movement? What do they think should happen to 0bama for this tragic loss of life for which 0bama is responsible?

From what I heard Afghan and coalition forces were taking fire from some buildings in called in air support. The fact that there were civilians in the buildings was unknown to them. I'm sure that this piece of information means little to those who cannot understand that there's a war going on over there.

Mr. Redyellowblackdog was being sarcastic with his post and pointing out how two faced liberals are. I frequent another web site and one guy has had in his tag line something about impeach Bush and now has Bush/Chaney prison 09. The left is always shoving the loss of innocent civilians lives in the faces of the right when it comes to war but quiet when it comes to their guy doing it. Like When Clinton ordered the bombing that killed innocent people.

I would imagine it was another case of human shields. The terrorists always get the info first and seem to have time to set things up haven't you noticed? We have more spies in our midst than we have friendlys.

But I agree, someone will find a way to blame this on Bush or at least the conservatives.

Impeach Obama for war crimes and crimes against humanity, he must have ordered the killing of these civilians! Just trying to sound like the lunatic lefts railings against Bush. The great Obama is now in office, and now the Taliban is taking over Pakistan, so much for him being able to talk reason with terrorist.


myLot reputation of 21/100. kennyrose (4039)   ranked 2,966 out of 6,341 in politics  7 months ago

I will bet if Bush was still in office this would not be happening.
I head Obama is set to speak openly to his Islamic freinds around the world again,seems kind of odd a United States president speaking to the terrorist at lease in this fashion.
I did not vote for Obama found he has way to much Muslims and Islamic for me to feel comfortable with,did not think that was a very good idea with out country at war with radical terrorist Muslims on two fronts.
My great grandma had a old saying blood is thicker then water,if Pakistan is waiting on the U.S.to save them they may in trouble.
I take it when Obama became president when the military kills innocent civilians it is acceptable but when it happen under George W. Bush watch the Bush haters should tore the hell out of country with their dam endless protests,where is them war protesters code link and how about them so call dip Christians that had they little kid's hold sign that said God hates you,guess they was on some ones pay roll and are not needed now.Cheers, Rose

Thank you for posting this, Rose. Such great civilian casualties are unacceptable no matter who is in office. It pains my heart to know the deaths that the taliban and militias have caused to innocent civilians. I say we stop fighting war and start giving women and the poor more economic opportunities and send in groups to do community development and reconciliation work and STOP this neverending war!


myLot reputation of 21/100. kennyrose (4039)   ranked 2,966 out of 6,341 in politics  7 months ago

murderistic,
Yes that would be the ticket but in the reality of it all this is a Islamic take over of the whole world,one country at a time,if the American people don't stand up and step up we will be facing the radical terrorist here on U.S. soil is is only a matter of time,sadly then the American people will see the light when it is them sopping up the blood of their little ones and their mothers,fathers,husbands,wife's,grand parents and so forth.
Our county has a force that has bankrupt our country,weakling our people leading them into government dependency,a whole community is Calif the government turned the outlet to their crop watering off they can not water their crops it is a big part of our food basket the intent is we then will have to buy our food from Mexico or China.
But unless the people stand up and step it up we will be another Cuba living under vile dictatorship begging for bread and a hand out and we will have our self's to blame seeing bad things happening and good people doing little to nothing about it same as the people in Cuba,China,Iraq,Iran,Russian and so forth all existing under vile dictators.
Thank for joining the discussion I truly wish we could have the world you speak of and all live in peace.


myLot reputation of 44/100. murderistic (1039)   ranked 901 out of 6,341 in politics  7 months ago

I don't think so, this is yet another example of the American hegemonic dominance of the world. The US is taking over and has been for some time.


myLot reputation of 79/100. spalladino (8975)   ranked 175 out of 6,341 in politics  7 months ago

Murderistic, you do realize that Pakistan is desperately trying to keep the Taliban from taking over not only their country but their nuclear facilities? I would love for these wars to end, too, but it's not realistic to just stop fighting. Pakistan allowed the Taliban to stay in a specific area and they are the ones who decided that they wanted more. If you think innocent civilians are being killed now, imagine the number who would suffer and die if a missile with a nuclear warhead is fired at any country...not only from the blast and the fireball but also from the fallout.


myLot reputation of 44/100. murderistic (1039)   ranked 901 out of 6,341 in politics  7 months ago

There is a difference between domestic defense and war. Of course they should be defending their nuclear facilities. But war is another issue and there is no reason for it, it is obviously not helping and I don't see how it's going to solve anything without comprehensive processes of justice and reconciliation. We should be locating Taliban members and arresting them like any other criminal, not blowing up buildings and civilians.


myLot reputation of 21/100. kennyrose (4039)   ranked 2,966 out of 6,341 in politics  7 months ago

murderistic,
Steadying the book of Revelations chapter one explains the first war broke out in heaven, Lucifer who was the chief in commanders of all the holy angles lead this war against God and Jesus Christ,last chapters of the Bible explains the last war will take place here on this earth,the battle of Armageddon is between Satan and Christ.
What is taking place in these current wars is Biblical all these events will lead to the second coming of Christ.
We live in the last day's of this worlds history,God say's there will be wars and rumors of wars all the way until the day of Armageddon at that time God will rain fire upon this earth and destroy all that is sinful and evil,God's fire he rains down from heaven will complete consume this whole earth and nothing will be left according to the word of God
What the inhabitant of the earth is watching is little compared to what is ahead.
The wars will pick up speed and become even more intense and vile.
In this worlds history there has always been wars and will be until the last day of this worlds history according to God's word.
This war on the radical Muslims side is a power struggle for the God in which they serve.
They believe anyone that is not of the Islamic faith is their enemy and they must destroy them,they greatly hate the Christians and Jews and for the God in which they serve they belive their mission is to wipe the Christians and the Jews off the whole face of the earth as well anyone that opposes them.
The Pakistanis have decisions to make,I don't know if the people are a free people or if they live under a government dictatorship,If I had to guess I would say they are not a free people and they are taken care by their government but I maybe wrong because I do not know,so if their government controls everything then they have to do something to save their nation or be taken over by the terrorist.
Last I heard the terrorist are about 40 miles from their capitol,In war civilians get killed when the county allows Al-Queda to live among the population.
Far as the U.S.I sure don't know what the plan is under Obama guess it is either kick the terrorist butts like George W.Bush proved to have done or let Al-Queda walks in and takes over Patistans nuclear power.
Anti-war Americans that beat the living hell out of George W.Bush and his administration for seven year's will see the results if Obama dose nothing and it will not be a good thing for all the world to have nuclear power abilities in the hands of Al-Queda.
This Islamic war has nothing to do with women and children rich,poor,white,black or brown it has to do souly with a world Islamic take over.
Nothing is going to happen that God dose not allow our position should be is that we are personally standing on the right side of these issues.
It is not if but when we in the United States will be facing what these other countries have and are facing with an Al-Queda takeover they are among us as well and the American people same as Muslims people in Iraq and Pakistan will be mopping up the blood of our chidlren.
With out question we live in fearful and uncertain times with war knocking twenty-four seven on the doors of all the world.ROSE

there will not be any justification in the war.When hundreds of americans killed in American air crash because of taliban,how to react for this.Afghans are free from talibans now that is just because of american millitary forces.They should be thankful to them.And i heard some news that american soldiers are tourturing families.It should be stopped.Still afghanistan is in danger.Talibans can attak on it at any time.Help soldiers to getrid of this terriorism in the world.This is what i think.

It just another case of who goes first anyone can attack in any given moment U.S. will always try to go first or risk being attack again. Do you think this terrorist will not do the same if they where to be left alone?.

If you do not fight the taliban and co there you will ultimately have to fight them on your doorstep. They are often given chances to talk and all they want to do is fight.
