One bomb at a time:

At least 27 civilians died in a Nato air strike in southern Afghanistan, the Afghan cabinet says, revising downwards a prior statement that 33 were killed.

Nato said it hit a suspected insurgent convoy, but ground forces later found “a number of individuals killed and wounded”, including women and children.

I’m amazed at the lack of terrorist attacks we’ve had because of these bombings. I mean, I would strap myself down with enough explosives to give Michael Bay a permanent hard-on and blow up a Walmart on Sunday afternoon if someone I loved was one of the 27 people killed in this bombing, or one of the 140 people killed in the September 2009 bombing, or one of the 97 people killed in the May 2009 bombing, or one of the 90 people killed in the August 2008 bombing, or one of the 47 people killed in the July 2008 bombing.

But that’s just me.

AUSTIN, Texas – A software engineer furious with the Internal Revenue Service launched a suicide attack on the agency Thursday by crashing his small plane into an office building containing nearly 200 IRS employees, setting off a raging fire that sent workers running for their lives.

I say we invade Texas like we invaded Iraq. We give governor Rick Perry until Monday 4pm est to turn himself in. If he doesn’t then we shock and awe the fuck out of Austin by dropping so many bombs on the city that the city of Dresden becomes thankful Obama was president during WWII.

Why aren’t the Republicans/Tea Partiers bitching about this:

One thing you can say about the defense budget presented as part of President Barack Obama’s $3.8 trillion federal budget is that it is marginally more honest than some previous budgets. In years past Defense secretaries have pretended that the costs of waging active wars are separate from the “baseline” military budget and have not included those costs in annual budget figures, leaving them to supplemental appropriations.

However, the figure for the projected 2011 military budget is forthrightly estimated at $708.2 billion, which consists of $548.9 billion in the “baseline” budget and $159.3 billion for “overseas contingency operations,” e.g., the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Almost as an afterthought, however, there’s an additional $33 billion to pay for the 30,000 extra troops President Obama is sending to Afghanistan, bringing the grand total to $741.2 billion.

The Center for a New American Security calculates that, when adjusted for inflation, this military budget is 13 percent higher than at the peak of the Korean War, 33 percent higher than at the peak of the Vietnam War, 12 percent higher than at the peak of the Cold War and 64 percent higher than the Cold War average. To be sure, military pay is higher in the all-volunteer military than during the era of conscription, but the military is also considerably smaller.

Emmanuel Goldstein…er, I mean, Osama bin Laden is/was a smart motherfucker. He knew that crashing two planes into two towers filled with white collar workers would get us to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on making more guns and bombs to kill poor, innocent brown people.

Now if only he could plan some kind of attack that would get our government to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into health care and education….

What the fuck is this shit?

The Obama administration plans to ask Congress for an additional $33 billion to fight unpopular wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on top of a record request for $708 billion for the Defense Department next year, The Associated Press has learned.

The administration also plans to tell Congress next month that its central military objectives for the next four years will include winning the current wars while preventing new ones, and its core missions will include both counterinsurgency and counterterror operations.

Let me see if I’ve got this straight. We DON’T have money for health care, education, jobs, or helping people keep their homes. But we DO have money for Wall Street bailouts, auto bailouts, two illegal wars, and countless drone strikes?

Could someone explain to me again how this man got a Nobel Peace Prize and why Republicans hate him.

And I’m sure they’ll get it:

Blackwater Worldwide’s legal woes haven’t dimmed the company’s prospects in Afghanistan, where it’s a contender to be a key part of President Barack Obama’s strategy for stabilizing the country.

Now called Xe Services, the company is in the running for a Pentagon contract potentially worth $1 billion to train Afghanistan’s troubled national police force. Xe has been shifting to training, aviation and logistics work after its security guards were accused of killing unarmed Iraqi civilians more than two years ago.

How the fuck are these cunts still receiving billion dollar contracts? I mean, they’ve smuggled guns into war-torn countries, forced children into prostitution, killed hundreds of innocent civilians, and committed massive corruption and secret assassinations.

Silly me, Americans don’t give a shit about organizations that force children to suck dick for a dollar. They only give a shit about organizations that help low income people vote and afford houses.

This country is so ass-fucking-backwards…

Obama sure loves killing people.

Two suspected US drone missile strikes have killed at least 12 people in a tribal region of north-west Pakistan, Pakistani security officials say.

The missiles targeted a compound described as a Taliban training centre, about 30km west of Miranshah the main town in North Waziristan.

Officials say the first strike killed seven people. Five died in a second attack as they searched for bodies.
It is the fourth suspected US drone attack in North Waziristan in a week.

Hundreds of people, many of them civilians, have been killed in drone attacks since mid-2008. Top Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud was among them.

Could someone explain to me again how he received the Nobel Peace Prize?

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.
