The author also says that after the Sammies killed 20 Pakistani troops and killed and dragged through the streets two American soldiers, the US changed its mission from a humanitarian one to a military fight against the warlords. The author is wrong. Clinton changed the American mission from one of a humanitarian role to that of an offensive (as in assault) role BEFORE the killings and the draggings. It was during one of those offensives that the Americans were killed (19 in all ) and two or three of their bodies dragged through the streets.

But they're UN troops and are Europeans, so that means that anything they do is, by definition, not that bad a thing: a boy's death = 1 month in the slammer and 200 Euros fine.

It's OK to roast a kid alive but not to make someone wear women's underwear on their heads? Where's the international outrage?

Not on his watch? ROFLOL poor baby. But the FTAA is okay on his watch, right? And the FTAA will never lead to submission to the ICC right? You are too old to be this naive.

I know...it has to be miserable being you.
Yes, this President won't betray out troops, and they know it.

You really should stop reading those buchanan fairy tales and move on to the real world.
