Islamabad IRNA - The bodies of 124 American troops have been flown back home in a cargo plane on November 29, claimed a local daily here on Sunday.

'Pakistan Observer' reported that the troops were killed during clashes with Taliban fighters when they had landed in Helmand province to help the ex-governor of Kandahar Gul Agha's Lashkar fighters against Taliban.

It added the perished troops are being officially described as missing in action.

Meanwhile, another daily, 'The Frontier Post', said 65 US marines have been killed by Taliban suicide squads in southern Afghanistan.

Reports of fresh casualties come as the US and the coalition forces struggle to keep a tight lid on the talk of casualties in the country, the daily pointed out.

Quoting witnesses, the newspaper added since their landing in Afghanistan, the US marines have come under attack by Taliban several times.

It noted apart from more than 2,000 US marines, American Special Forces are also present in the southern parts of Afghanistan.

The newspaper stated that these attacks could be in retaliation to massacre of Taliban fighters by gunmen of anti-Taliban Commander Haji Gul Agha in the presence of US troops.

The DUh's are idiots that probably sit home at night praying to mother earth or satan for a bunch of US casualties.

During Desert Storm we were told about casualties - Why do you think they wouldn't tell us now?

No, your wrong, it's over 1000 men killed. Lets make that over 100,000. That sounds right.

If you were to read my post you might notice I didn’t refer to any killed. Just bodies. I believe you probably have one of those.

I think they will, but maybe with a 20 or 30 day lag time.

Can anybody tell me what is meant by "tin foil"?

Thanks Howlin, That was a good one. :-)

OK I'll try this one more time. THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE TO REPORTING CASUALITIES AT THIS POINT IN THE WAR!!!! If and I mean IF the Talibunnies had killed that many there would be bodies in the hands of the bad guys -at the very least some gear. AL JEZEERA would have it all over the air in a minute. Also, don't you think 124 families would be out talking. This is such a waste of time. Islamic dreams from all of that kneeling. pure crap. Last message from my guys say that it is more like 4-5 thousand Talibunnies dead.! With one dead American I will take those odds any day.

You've got freep mail.

Tin-foil is a derogatory comment meant to imply that the target is beyond science fiction into the X-files category.

[chainsaw]

The repost is partially correct. However, all 124 bodies were live bodies.

It's to stop them from monitoring our brainwaves with their satellites! It blocks their x-rays!

Here you go friend:

The lexicon is where you'll find you tin foil info.

wow! where do the wonders of this free republic end?

[dead]

By strange coincidence, the 124 dead Marines just happened to all be guys with no friends or family, or even casual aquaintences to notice that they are gone.

I guess they've been recruiting Marines from skid row.

I disagree. I would trust Clinton with my cat's fecal matter.

I dunno. Remember the loyal and longtime family pet "Socks" was the first to get booted when the Clintons left the White House.

The good news is that Socks is probably the better off for being banished.

[BruceS]

I didn't say I would trust him with a cat, just the fecal matter.

[IronJack]

This is probably a report from Little Big Horn.

"Can anyone out there in freeperland confirm or deny this report?"

Dude...

Are you serious?

[Sandy]

What possible need would there be for secrecy?

Because Americans don't like wars with American casualties. I have no doubt that support for the war on terrorists will plummet as soon as mass casualties begin. No doubt that our politicians are well aware of that too.

WHY WASTE OUT TIME PUBLISHING THIS CRAP.

A GOOD REPORTER FILTERS OUT THE CRAP. YOU HAVE NOT!!

DO NOT APPOLOGIZE, EDIT THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR POSTINGS AND SAVE BANDWIDTH.

Appologies if this was already posted. Can anyone out there in freeperland confirm or deny this report? The link is not a credible source. Propaganda maybe coming out of Pakistan? I would think that if it were true, some of the loved-ones would be speaking out about the disinformation
