I counted six stories Jerome Starkey wrote for AlterNet the notoriously leftest publication. Look into this guy. He could be another Reuters type set up or even working with local “runners”.

The article mentions school books. I wonder at what madrassa they were studying? Also some of the “students” were of an age that might participate in warfare.

Most of his braincells must be non-functional.

All he seems to do is rewrite the enemy propaganda points.

Nice find. I’ll go with GeronL’s #45.

I wonder if it will matter now that 0bama is President? It is possible this will get handled much differently by our press than it would have while Bush was President. Likely so, even.

Get used to it- this is the same BS -Hamas used saying Israel shot at Masques and innocent women and children. Odd how a terrorist is never hit-boy we have bad aim?

Afghanis are saying this? Gosh, they wouldn’t make something up, would they? Especially after the rules of engagement controversy?

This doesn’t pass the smell test.

Our guys would not do this. I would believe that it was muzzies in American uniforms though.

And I believe the muslim families of these children would be complicit in a plot like that just to be able to cast blame on the Americans.

Muslims suck.
