More "change"....
Back during the Bush administration, whenever there was a civilian casualty in Iraq or Afghanistan, the outcry against American imperialism was heard far and wide. The brutality of Bush and his war machine was all the press could talk about. In fact, many times it went beyond the accusation of simply being an accident of war. I saw many articles where the press had somehow decided that we could go beyond just being reckless to actually targeting civilians.
But....
Now that Barack Hussein is Commander in Chief and we've had the recent incident of over 100 civilian deaths (numbers are debated) by NATO (U.S.) airstrike, we hear from that the Taliban may purposely using civilians to protect their positions, and as war propaganda should there be an "accident". Gosh, can you imagine that? This must not be some of those "moderate" Taliban that Barack and Hilary want to meet with.
This tragic situation has happened many times over the last few years, and the defense department has made these exact same claims many times. But there's a strange quiet out there now. Do you not hear it?
