there would be near zero deaths if the insurgence didnt keep blowing things up, but some cant clue on that, so they lump in civilians in a fighting zone as something that can be prevented. if somehow the UN can wave their magic wand and wrap the civilians in a geneva convention blanket, then all will be well.....yeesh. more civilians are getting killed by that idiot Mugabe, and theirs no insurgence there.
The war against occupiers.
...no antiwar outrage here...I guess if it is a libnazi in charge, killing innocent civilians in a useless war is OK.
libnazi or repnazi is no difference for the dead
And, as long as a body bags do not arrive in droves and, even more importantly there still enough Chinese money to spend in Uber Ales USA, its OK with any of the above
last year it was chirp chirp chirp and now it's 'Afghanistan???...what war?'
The neocons and the Buch administration were not concerned that naco-terrorists have taken over large parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The neocons did not want to find osama bin laden and the al qaeda terrorists by following them to their safe havens in Pakistan, in the months after 9/11. The neocons did not want to kick ass with the terrorist band responsible for 9/11, because they were obsessed with regime change in Iraq instead. They actually paid off the military dictator in Pakistan over 10 billion dollars to protect the terrorists. Not only was Pakistan a military dictatorship, not a democracy, but it was a nation with real WMD, including nuclear bombs, and missle delivery systems. A nation that provided North Korea with nuclear bomb technology. A nation with a large lawless region where the terrorists operated freely. But the neocons claimed that we dare not violate the sanctity of a sovereign nation, Pakistan, while they advocated destroying Iraq.
Now, it could be said that whatever is done next is too little, too late.
If a democrat commander in chief had given up the chase for osama bin laden after 9/11, not gone after al qaeda in their safe havens in Pakistan, paid a dictator to hide the terrorists, and sent the troops to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, the neocons would be calling it treason.
As it will be recorded in history, the neocons could never even admit that they made huge blunders, gave their commader in chief bad advice, caused the mission to be not accomplished, and then let their puppet president walk away from the mess with no accountability, as they all slithered into dark corners with no balls to take responsibility for the failure they created.
