It's distressing to read how many lies the US told along the way.

Afghani bombing got 60 children, no militants.

"Afghanistan: U.S. killed civilians after false tip. The bombing killed up to 90 Afghan civilians last month."

"The claim contradicted a U.S. contention that the Aug. 22 raid on the western village of Azizabad killed up to 35 Taliban fighters.

"Not a single Talib was killed," he added. "So it was a total disaster, and it made it even worse when there were denials, total denials."

"The U.S. at first said that 30 militants and no civilians were killed. A formal military investigation found that the operation killed up to 35 militants and seven civilians.

An Afghan government commission found that up to 90 civilians were killed, including 60 children, a finding backed by a preliminary U.N. report."

The cover-up following a US "investigation" is almost as upsetting as the US being used by Afghanis to slaughter the children of other tribes.

And there are people who wonder why they hate us. Seem genuinely puzzled.
