The United States vowed Sunday to persist with air strikes in Afghanistan despite bitter new criticism from the nation's leader Hamid Karzai about their morality as the civilian death toll mounts.
President Barack Obama's national security advisor, James Jones, said the United States would "redouble" efforts to limit civilian casualties, but would not hamper its forces in Afghanistan by banning the air strikes. "We can't fight with one hand tied behind our back," General Jones said on U.S. television, arguing President Karzai "understands that we have to have the full complement of our offensive military power when we need it."
US regional commander General David Petraeus also took on board Karzai's criticism about the impact on civilians, but said the "Taliban bears enormous blame" by firing on US troops from inside villagers' houses.
“Did Bush/Cheney forget to return their personal remote control UAVs Jan 21st, 2009?”
Where is the MORAL OUTRAGE over Obama's war???? Why is Obama killing babies? Why is he bombing innocent civilians? I know, let's check the NYT. They will report on this horrible social injustice! How about the Washington Post? Bernstein and Woodward Land! They will expose that scoundrel Obama for the baby murderer that he is!!! Oh, Social Injustice! Social Injustice! Quick, someone find my Berkenstocks and put some renewable ethanol in my Subaru so I can drive over to Bush's house to protest... oh, wait. I forgot. Its all ok. Its Obama!
INTERCOURSE!!!!!
And.... don’t forget that always cute COEXIST with all of the religious signs. Like to slap one of those on a beheaded corps in Indonesia just once...
I thought about slapping the “my other car is a broom” but some of them already beat me to it.....(they slapped it on themselves).
Really, I have seen 3-4 of these on the backs of cars...two at the WallyMart parking lot
Karzi was on NBC this morning, and Lauer attacked him for DARING to criticize Obama’s Afghan policy.
If I hadn’t have seen it, I would not have believed it.
This was the SAME GUY, who just a few short months ago, that was berating Cheney and Bush officials for killing innocent civilians, and now he’s going after Karzai for even mentioning it!!
True, and, President Obama, you can't fight with both hands raised above your head.
Just saying...before he goes there....
