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 don't know what sort of public warning the US Military gave
to non-combatants about the precision of killing.
Maybe the Afghanis and Iraqis saw the precision bombing of the
US forces and presumed they could safely stand next to the bad boys.
And only the bad boys would be hit/killed when US aircraft appeared.
As far as I'm concerned, the main message to Afghanis/Iraqis
should have known is it's dangerous to stand within maybe a couple
of football fields of the bad guys (roughly the lethal blast radius
of the average bombs dropped by US aircraft?).
I suspect some of the the griping (fair or not) in Afghanistan
is from not being able to repel the US forces like they did the
Soviet forces. And a long line of foreign forces that proceeded them.
Bitchin' and whinin' and propaganda about "American atrocities" are
just about the only real weapons left to them.

I wish I knew the motivation of the Daily Mail in creating this article, and its incendiary headline
I don't really care, nor can I generate even a hint of sympathy for the animals claiming to be victims. The reasons are clear and obvious to any rational person. Let's reiterate the obvious:
No truly human person would want their children present in a conflict, and in a location, where the enemy, justified or not, is likely to attack. Never. Not ever, under any circumstances.
The ones responsible are the subhuman parents and other adults stuck on stupid: stuck in the delusion that the "Baby Milk Plant" approach to outrage will have even the slightest effect on me, or on any other rational human being.
Whether a dozen or a hundred dozen kids are killed in an attack on savages either killing other innocents, planning to do so, or preparing munitions and explosives to do so is a disaster of their own making.
Made doubly horrible by the reality that they plan it that way, in the now forlorn hope that they can continue using the "children" (which they obviously care little about) as a weapon against us.
And the hedonistic idiots in the "west" react to the propaganda as if they never had a brain in their heads.
What is the feeling that accrues beyond "despair?"

The Daily Mail left out the puppies and kitties.
I’m pretty sure that they also killed some puppies and kittens too.

There is no such thing as a innocent in a war zone.

We should warn all those that are in that region that they will be treated as the enemy.

Isn't this text book agitprop in cold war jargon. Brilliant in fact. Any operation where two teams are trying to kill each other can go downhill very quickly. Let's see what really happened. I just won't be the one to blame America first.

I’m sorry - this doesn’t prove anything. And I hate to say it, but the media has a history of faking pictures so as to make their side look better.

Given the obvious lack of neither dolphin nor puppy casualites, I’m rather surprised the British press bothered to cover this story. /sarc off They might have a ounce of credibility when they cover suicide bombings in Israel with the same level of concern — considering they’re not (officially anyway) at war with the Jews.

It’s interesting that the victims are all grainy and hard to make out and the angry afghan peasants are in full detail...

Shocking footage that could prove 90 Afghans - not seven - died in U.S. airstrike Were they were all wearing "baby milk factory" patches written in English?

They came to our country and killed thousands of innocent Americans. Now they pay the price and will continue to pay the price. Why we play these games on the battlefield is beyond me. Go back to WWII standards and start carpet bombing until there is nothing left.

It's war and if you find yourself hanging out with the participants in that war, than you are no longer a "civilian". Keep your children and family with you in that environment, and be responsible for the consequences.

Yep, these bodies could be from a market bombing in Iraq, Lebanon, wherever. Who can say with certainty?

Memo to Afghanis and Pakis: Don’t harbor terrorists and you won’t have anything to worry about. Harbor terrorists and you are in the fire zone.
Have a nice day.
