US-led troops kill 70 Taliban insurgents

US-LED forces killed around 70 Taliban rebels during clashes in southern Afghanistan, the US military said yesterday, raising the number of insurgents killed to 100 over three days.

Afghanistan is suffering its worst spell of violence since US-led forces toppled the Taliban in 2001. It comes ahead of NATO troops taking over military control in the violent south from the United States. snip

"It is not acceptable for us that, in all this fighting, Afghans are dying. In the last three to four weeks, 500 to 600 Afghans were killed. {Even} if they are Taliban, they are sons of this land," he said.

1. Putting them in mass graves?

Of course, it's Saddam's fault. We had to make more graves to avenge his mass graves.

2. In Vietnam we would burn them if they were in large numbers

If there were only a few we would booby trap them and leave them for their women and children to come for them. Ain't warfare grand????

9. Why should his visit be brief?

The major argument has always been that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 and the taliban had every thing to do with it. If you chose to keep your head buried in the sand is no reason the rest of us should.

8. Yes especially those women and children Taliban

How many uniformed soldiers have our troops killed? Oh none that's right they are all civilians...

10. Yeah, things are really that simple.

As in we're good and they're evil. Bzzzzzt. try again. Try we're an occupying force, and not all who oppose are presence are Taliban. Try reading the article- Afghanis find the killing of their countrymen disturbing. Try, these people who were killed have relatives and acquaintances who are polarized by their deaths, and turn to fighting the Americans. In other words, try thinking.

7. Body counts!

Is that how you tell if you are winning? Isn't that how we won in Vietnam?
