Afghan Civilians Killed in Airstrike
KABUL, Afghanistan, July 4 -- An Afghan governor said Monday that a U.S. airstrike against a suspected insurgent site in Konar province last week killed 17 civilians. The U.S. military confirmed that civilians had died and expressed regret but said the strike Friday targeted a "known operating base for terrorist attacks."
I am saddened that Civilians were killed in any raid. That really isn't good. However, after hearing this story on the radio, I started to wonder why I haven't heard more stories like this. The Left insists that we have killed 100,000 civilians in the "War on Terror", but in searching Google and Yahoo news, I have only been able to find this one story about "Civilian Deaths in Afghanistan". I went to page #25 and still... the only story was this one.
The MSM and the Left constantly parrot that the US is responsible for the deaths of MANY civilians, but where are the stories? Where are the news to back this up?
