Payback perhaps?

thanks

and no CBC coverage of the execution of children by US troops except a couple lines buried under CP links and referred to merely as  'claims'

CBC on the radio too focusses only on deaths to soldiers or those caused by insurgents, and promotes false glorification of the occupiers.

Pathetic.

Looks like the people of Pakistan are on their way to winning too.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A suicide bomber detonated his explosives-packed vehicle in a crowd of people watching a volleyball tournament Friday in northwest Pakistan, killing 75 people in the deadliest attack in the country in more than two months.

It's so nice to have "balance" on babble. For every item reporting war crimes by the U.S., Canada, and other invaders, we now have a peanut gallery which will chime in about how bad the locals are too.

I'm an old fashioned gal that believes war crimes are war crimes regardless of which side is doing em Kiss

That comment by itself is fairly accurate though. Tariq Ali says that the government in Pakistan is totally and completely corrupt. When asked what their dreams are in the streets of Lahore and Karachi, Ali says ordinary Pakistanis would like two meals a day for their families and a chance for their children to get an education and not relying on the free religious-fundamentalist schools and colleges funded by Saudis and CIA with approval from Pakistani elites and army intelligence. Ali says there are two million newly displaced people in outlying regions of Pakistan as a result of the Talibanization and deliberate radicalization of his country since the 1980's.

Surge in casualties predicted in Afghanistan:

General Barry McCaffrey (retired) wrote:

Americans should prepare to accept hundreds of U.S. casualties each month in Afghanistan during spring offensives with enemy forces.

What I want to do is signal that this thing is going to be $5 billion to $10 billion a month and 300 to 500 killed and wounded a month by next summer. That's what we probably should expect. And that's light casualties, [says] McCaffrey, who is also president of his own consulting firm in Arlington, Va., and has conducted numerous trips to the war zones to assess the political and military challenges at hand.
