WECH BAGHTU, Afghanistan – Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday demanded that President-elect Barack Obama put an end to civilian casualties as villagers said U.S. warplanes bombed a wedding party, killing 37 people, including 23 children and 10 women.

"Our demand is that there will be no civilian casualties in Afghanistan. We cannot win the fight against terrorism with airstrikes," Karzai said. "This is my first demand of the new president of the United States — to put an end to civilian casualties."

Someone tell Karzai that it’s impossible for there not to be civilian casualties in a war zone.
Do men not attend these weddings? It’s always women and children.....sure....
Karzai will get his wish real soon. Obama is going to decimate the military to the point they wont have the equipment to fight.
To which 0 will respond "Fine, we're out of there in 30 days". You'll get what you ask for Hamid. Nevermind that you're going to be one of the first against the wall.
They don't wear uniforms or have other 24/7 identification. Maybe Karzi should have the Taliban eliminate all civilian causalities and make them stop attacking Coalition Forces?
and so it begins. I think Obama liked the idea of being President much more than he’s going to like doing the job. Yes, Barry, you are going to have to actually DO this job - unlike all of the other offices you have been elected to.
Ah, it matters not. Obambi will abandon the region and Karzai better know how to grovel reallllll good or have a plan B up his sleeve.
WTH? He ain’t president yet.
Karzai FO!
Russia FO!
Anyone else demanding anything ......FO!
I think this is directed at Obama because he’s the guy who wants to deploy MORE forces to Afghanistan.
He’s not even in office yet. Geez.
The first taste of things to come.
He will betray us.
Well, he is the messiah...
They voted last night, the entitlees. We're in for a long 4 years... and the clock hasn't even started ticking yet....ticking like a bomb.
WTH?! I thought this was satire!
It’s REAL!
“We’re in for a long 4 years”
No, Barry’s in for 4 long years.
Let the pressure begin!
specially when you hide troops amongst the civilians.
Hell with them, these people are helping kill American soldiers, take them out.
Obama will have Predators dropping Halal pasties from their hardpoint plyons.
Actually it’s pretty funny. Obama has promised to fix everything and the media has gone along with it. Now, everyone will be demanding that he live up to the hype. The murder rates in Philly, Chicago, Detroit and DC will drop to zero by Saturday, when Brother Barack says the word!
Isn’t this Barry’s first real job?
Now wait a minute....didn’t Odumbo say he was going to increase forces in Afghanistan?
Sorry Karzai....he told us that was what he was going to do. Pull them out of Iraq and send them to your neck of the woods.
