Remind me again exactly who we are “liberating” in Afghanistan. To me, it just looks like a bunch of killing:
US special forces soldiers dug bullets out of their victims’ bodies in the bloody aftermath of a botched night raid, then washed the wounds with alcohol before lying to their superiors about what happened, Afghan investigators have told The Times.Two pregnant women, a teenage girl, a police officer and his brother were shot on February 12 when US and Afghan special forces stormed their home in Khataba village, outside Gardez in eastern Afghanistan. The precise composition of the force has never been made public.
The claims were made as Nato admitted responsibility for all the deaths for the first time last night. It had initially claimed that the women had been dead for several hours when the assault force discovered their bodies.
“Despite earlier reports we have determined that the women were accidentally killed as a result of the joint force firing at the men,” said Lieutenant-Colonel Todd Breasseale, a Nato spokesman. The coalition continued to deny that there had been a cover-up and said that its legal investigation, which is ongoing, had found no evidence of inappropriate conduct.
This is the “new tone” that Obama brought to the world stage. This is how he restores “respect to America’s image in the world.” Just a few more children that will grow up without parents thanks to the whims of an American president. God help us. Christians love to rail against abortion, yet they actively worship at the feet of a military that just killed two pregnant women. And, yes, I said worship and meant it. Have you been to the Lifeway book store lately and seen their military section with paintings of soldiers kneeling at the cross? It’s sickening.
