Who the he$$ can say that the cited bomb actually exploded on site? I mean there should be lots of those things hanging around with numbers on them. Wouldn't be too hard to plant one. Wouldn't it be traceable by that? I don't say it didn't happen but a good journalist should check to see if his sources are lying. Of course they always assume the Pentagon lies. Just wondering.

It would not surprise me at all to learn that the Taliban planted bombs in villages and mosques in an effort to blame it on the U.S. and thus reduce support for the war. In fact, I'd be surprised to learn that they didn't.

Overall I think the United States has done a tremendous job in this war. Think of the thousands upon thousands of bombs we have dropped since this thing started ON TARGET. It is inevitable that a few of these bombs would stray off course and inadvertently hit some civilian areas. That is a shame but just 20 years ago, the civilian deaths would be multiplied by a factor of at least 10. Unfortunately, enemies of the United States will use the few bombs that landed off course to paint us as war criminals. These critics must be put in their places immediately. This nation has bent over backwards to avoid unnecessary civilian casualties.
