Have any of you consider that since this was a local wedding that some of the people attending might be member of the Taliban or Al Qaeda, and saw a opportunely to maybe shoot down an American plane and took the chance.

Afghan Governor Wants U.S. to Hand over 'Informer'
Fri Jul 5, 4:02 AM ET
KABUL (Reuters) - The governor of the central Afghan province of Uruzgan said on Friday he wanted the U.S. military to hand over the "informer" who told it to bomb villages in his province this week, killing 46 civilians.
"If they (Americans) don't submit the informer to us, then they are our enemy," Jaan Mohammad told Reuters by satellite phone from the remote, mountainous region.
"The Americans for sure know who this person is. We know him too, but we don't want to reveal his name."
The U.S. military has said it had received reliable information from several sources that senior Taliban leaders were sheltering in a remote Uruzgan village close to Deh Rawud, near the birthplace of fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar.
A special forces team went in to "cordon and search" the village, but called in air strikes after seeing anti-aircraft fire coming from the area directed at coalition warplanes.
The Afghan government says 46 people were killed, including women and children attending a wedding party, when U.S. planes attacked several villages on Sunday night and Monday morning.
But a U.S. investigating team, which has been in the area since Wednesday, said it has so far only seen five graves.
Analysts said mounting anger about the civilian casualties could undermine the Western-backed government of President Hamid Karzai, and complicate U.S. efforts to track down Taliban remnants and followers of Osama bin Laden ( news - web sites), Washington's prime suspect in the September 11 attacks.
Karzai urged the United States on Thursday to liaise more closely with his government on its military operations in Afghanistan ( news - web sites).
"Arrangements should be clear," he said. "Any operation needs to be coordinated with the Afghan defense ministry."
"Our people should be immune," he told journalists. "People should not be hurt and the campaign against the Taliban and terrorism must not become the cause of people's harassment."
Karzai said he would soon travel to Uruzgan to visit mourning families there and urged the United States not to carry out military operations based only on the intelligence of informers.

Starting to look like someone wanted his rivals remove with our help but not telling us the truth.

The Greeks did it. Expect a nuclear armed Turkey to invade as a retaliation. Because it's quite obvious that they can't handle ruling themselves.

Your propaganda used to be much better.
I think you are the ones who should be worried about the effects of sudden radiation.

Look at the wind patterns. If The Mideast goes up (in particularly israel) as you desperately wish for, it'll blow across the meditteranean. Have a nice day.

Not likely.
At least not as likely as a dirty bomb.
You have a nice day too.

You two need to give it a rest. The discussion is about US Forces being used to possibly take out rival faction, and in the process some civilians were killed.

Eh. I'm just a little pissed that no one blinked when he said several thousand Americans deserved to die on September 11th.

I just forwarded a position which is common amongst many Europeans. Namely that the US deserved Sept. 11 because of its crimes against countries around the world.
This is their opinion.
I am always saddened by the loss of life.
