A similar Associated Press count, though lower, shows the same trend: 213 killed by the U.S. or NATO and 180 by the Taliban.
Over and over we hear that the terrorists are “Islamofacists” out to quash our freedoms, but the truth speaks volumes – actions speak louder than words.
Overall, the AP counts almost 2,800 people killed this year in insurgency-related violence, mostly militants.
The tally, based on Western and Afghan official data, puts the violence far ahead of last year, when about 4,000 died.A local investigating team was sent to Helmand province’s Gereshk district, where fighting took place between insurgents and Western forces late Friday, said Dur Ali Shah, the mayor of Gereshk, and Mohammad Hussein Andewal, the provincial police chief. Both said the investigation on Saturday found that 62 insurgents had been killed, a number that Thomas said “seems like it could be true.” The Afghan officials also said that 45 civilians were killed.
What an outrage.
Only war criminals can condone this kind of massacre of innocents in the name of so-called “freedom and democracy.”
It’s also one of the world’s greatest
disappointments.
What has happened to America? Where is
it headed? Can anything turn it around?
Because of America’s power and the way
it uses its power, these are important
questions for every person on earth.
Are there American values besides the greed
and arrogance projected by its so called
leaders?
If so, who speaks for American values
today?
Watch this video:
Spoken before the U.S. invaded Iraq
“We can call ouselves Americans. We can fly the American flag, but unless we stand up and defend the values that define us as Americans, we will cease being Americans.”Scott Ritter gave this talk before the US invaded Iraq. As a former US Marine Corps officer, UN weapons inspector and expert on the armaments of Iraq, he very publicly disputed the Bush adminstration’s claim that Iraq was a threat to the US.Now the US is on the same path with regards to war against Iran.
London car bombs would not have killed anyone, government using terrorist tactics by hyping fear to morph society
Countering the frothing rabid hysteria that is being whipped up by a fervent media in response to three failed car “bomb” attacks in the last few days in the UK, ex-CIA agent Larry Johnson joined Keith Olbermann to underscore the truth behind the madness – that the so-called bombs were primitive at best and would not have killed anybody.
Long before the current Bush Adminstration, George Bush Sr., along with former government officials and the Bin Laden family of Saudi Arabia, created a private investment firm called the Carlyle Group.
The purpose of the company is to acquire interests in arms manufacturers. Because it is a privately owned company, it’s dealings are only rarely reported on in the financial news, but it is one of the biggest beneficiaries of America’s drive to war and it is making its investors very rich.
