On This 71st Anniversary of Pearl Harbor-- Out of Fucking Afghanistan NOW
God, this is sick! A war really doesn't get much more evil than this.
"In October, I blogged about an incident in Afghanistan in which three small children were killed in a US airstrike.
In that one small incident, which drew little attention at the time and since, three children aged 12, 10 and 8 were blown to smithereens in a NATO bombing while they were out gathering dung for fuel.
Now, in a despicable article in Military Times, the US military says that children are legitimate targets in the war in Afghanistan because sometimes the Taliban and other insurgents use kids."*
Three children living in Afghanistan, aged 12, 10 and 8 were targeted and killed by a NATO bomb as they dug for dung to use as fuel. It wasn't an accident. According to the Military Times, "Some children aren't bystanders." Cenk Uygur discusses the despicable act of purposely killing children and what it means for foreign relations.

Worse than Bush, worse than Romney.
Yes, in some ways worse than Bush for sure. It's hard to know about whether worse than Romney-- he seemed all the way around awful, while there was some hope of improvement with Obama. But overall I think the next 4 years are going to be very disappointing at minimum... and catastrophic at worst.
What is also depressing is that most people who identify as Democrats
think O is just fine and dandy.
well, most Americans are in denial or are clueless...
