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....

Looks like a bunch of blankets to me.
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.
Well, Oliver North was embedded with those troops and his Fox News film crew, they say seventeen and thats good enough for ME!!!
If they were giving refuge to the Taliban, who cares? Not me.
US forces injured: 2378
(as of August)
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.
Did Green Helmut Guy change his location a bit further east?
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.
Let God sort them out.
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.
Is that the bomb magnet woman?
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.
