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.

This story has morphed several times, but NATO does now admit to the operation. They say it was "non military Americans", which might mean CIA operatives. This is a point of interest, as shortly afterwards, there was an attack on CIA personnel in that very area.

Karzai says that the American troops did kill children, some wearing handcuffs. The UN says it was a nighttime raid on a house, which often leads to civilian casualties.

NATO has disputed the accusations, saying the foreigners involved were non-military Americans on a sanctioned operation who fired in self-defence after being shot. But the NSC accepted the findings of the investigation and Karzai's office issued a statement saying: "The meeting of the National Security Council demanded that those responsible for the deaths of those innocent youths must be handed over to the Afghan government." UN special representative to Afghanistan Kai Eide said there was evidence to suggest "eight of those killed were students enrolled in local schools". "There is also evidence to strongly indicate that there were insurgents in the area at the time," he said in a statement.
