These kids are excited because they weren't handcuffed and shot in the back of the head.
Doesn’t this story warm your heart?
American-led troops were accused yesterday of dragging innocent children from their beds and shooting them during a night raid that left ten people dead.
Afghan government investigators said that eight schoolchildren were killed, all but one of them from the same family. Locals said that some victims were handcuffed before being killed.
In a telephone interview last night, the headmaster [of the local school] said that the victims were asleep in three rooms when the troops arrived. “Seven students were in one room,” said Rahman Jan Ehsas. “A student and one guest were in another room, a guest room, and a farmer was asleep with his wife in a third building.
“First the foreign troops entered the guest room and shot two of them. Then they entered another room and handcuffed the seven students. Then they killed them. Abdul Khaliq [the farmer] heard shooting and came outside. When they saw him they shot him as well. He was outside. That’s why his wife wasn’t killed.”
A local elder, Jan Mohammed, said that three boys were killed in one room and five were handcuffed before they were shot. “I saw their school books covered in blood,” he said.
The investigation found that eight of the victims were aged from 11 to 17. The guest was a shepherd boy, 12, called Samar Gul, the headmaster said. He said that six of the students were at high school and two were at primary school. He said that all the students were his nephews.
Of course this shouldn’t come as a surprise since the commanding general in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, ran a rather large death squad while in Iraq.
But what is surprising is how little press this story has gotten in the main stream media. You’d think a story involving the execution of eight school children ranging from 11 to 17 would be a bigger story than Tiger Woods fucking a porn star. I mean, this story has to get Nancy Grace’s dick hard, right?
Oh wait, Nancy Grace and the rest of the media only get hard about children when they are white, middle class, and floating away on weather balloons. My bad.

It’s beyond frustrating to see the lengths to which people will go to ignore the evil acts being perpetrated in the name of spreading democracy. I’ve seen nothing about this story in the MSM. They’ve shut down Parliament in Canada so that the government doesn’t have to answer questions about soldiers handing over innocent people to be tortured in Afghanistan. Nothing to see here, just move along…

As much as I’m against the war in Afghanistan, I don’t really believe this story to be true. Sorry.

Maybe, just maybe it was Taliban dressed to look like us. If this is true then Mc Pistol should be hung by his nads.

@nahummer – So that’s why Stephen Harper shut down the entire government? I feel I need to find a random Canadian and apologize.
@Jeff – Why is this story hard to believe? It’s not like this is the first time American forces have killed innocent children.
@Alan Eisenberg – Ha, if it was the Taliban then this story would have been covered by the main stream media.
And I agree that McChrystal needs to be hanged by his nuts. But I would like to see a black gay midget fuck him in the face every time he tried to scream.

@Phuck- I know, I just don’t believe everything I read on the internet.
Laci the Dog says:
Wait, this story comes from the Times Online.
Yeah, you’d like to think that a paper that was once considered the Paper of Record would be a bit more than just another Rupert Murdoch rag. Although, something like this printed in something owned by Murdoch might just be true.
