Revealed: Shocking footage that could prove 90 Afghans - not seven - died in U.S. airstrike

Shocking images that may have forced the U.S. military to reopen an investigation into an airstrike that killed Afghan civilians have been published in the media.

The grim, eight minute clip, filmed on a mobile phone in the aftermath of the bombing, shows rows of shrouded bodies laid side-by-side in a make-shift morgue. Among them are at least 11 children, many of them toddlers.

...Afghanistan claims more than 90 people, many of them women and children, were killed in the August 22 strike....


The grainy phone video footage of the aftermath
of the attacks shows bodies lined up on the floor


The footage shows a woman bending over the body of one of
those killed in the airstrike,
which Afghanistan claims killed up to 90


The bodies were piled up against walls in the footage which
may have forced the U.S. to reopen the investigation

...New York Times said on Sunday cellphone videos and other images showed bodies of women and children laid... ut in the village mosque where the strike occurred.

...villagers dug up the last victim from the rubble, a baby just a few months old, it said.


An Afghan woman wounded in the attack lies on a
bed at a hospital. Afghanistan says up to 90 women and children were
killed in the; the US claimed it was only seven.

The taliban has much to gain by whipping up anti-American sentiment among the unwashed masses there, especially since they cannot win against us on the battlefield.

They are also showing themselves as the cowards they are by hiding amongst civilians, knowing full well the danger they’re putting those people in.

Some warriors.

War happens.

I hope no innocents were actually killed, but Muslim propaganda is (frankly) more likely from a sworn enemy that has NO morals, and considers itself in a religious war to the death.

Now, how many true innocent women were tied up, walked into Muslim soccer stadiums, and shot in the back in of the head?

But no one (other than American conservative “war-mongers” complained.

The media STILL refuses to show a single dead body from the 9-11 attacks. People splattered on the sidewalk, charred bodies, people impaled on street lamps. HORRIFIC images that have been conveniently suppressed.

Considering the lies the rpess tells in attempt to make the uS look bad, we cannot be sure where those photos are from or when they were taken. The press lies like the political propaganda machine it is.

Maybe it is not a good idea to be associate with people that can get hit with a hellfire missile fired from a drone at anytime?

I know I would want to keep to a couple of miles minimum

90,000 civilians died in one day during bombing of Tokyo in WWII. War is hell. We didn’t ask for it.

Forgive me, but after the "Green Helmet Guy" with his unbelievably "pristine child toys amongst the rubble" pics, and the "old wailing woman" , who was pictured so many times in front of her MANY ruined houses that her nickname had to be "The Pali Version of Yvonna Trump", I just can't get real real teared up about this stuff anymore.

Especially when these "freedom fighters" use these women and kids and mosques as "shields" , knowing that it increases their "life expectancy" 1000% because our brave men and women who are fighting this WOT, DO NOT FIGHT THAT WAY, no matter what J F'N Kerry and his anti-American anti-war homies say.

What are those blankets supposed to represent? The old crone is standing in front of a wall bitchin’, not a destroyed home and is that young girl laying there suffering from malnutrition? Nothing to see here, literally, move on.

Friends and families of the Taliban. They wanted violence, they got it. Right in their own homes.

When the cockroach goes scurrying home, the missiles will follow him.

It is not safe to live among terrorists.
