Dead Afghans not news

It made the footnotes of the New York Times, but otherwise newscorp propaganda network blotted this story out or where it did get an airing it was dismissed as just one of those things guys, with a hint of "Well they will loiter around being human sheilds....". 140 Afghans were either wounded or killed by an American air strike. The occupation of their country, like others before it, is disintegrating and the U-SUK forces are in trouble. That explains the recent almost laughable opinion poll that revealed some 40% of people in the country support the troops. The good news was meant for public consumption and a feely good for the fourth of July. Doubtless, those affected by this latest outrage will have to be asked the question in a different way in order to illict the appropriate response next time. If there is a next time.
