"We apologize for any inconvenience"

In about six months the "decade" since 9/11 will be observed AD NAUSEUM. And as that decade approaches we have not been bombing, shooting, and burning a country for now Nine years and four plus months (and another for 8 years in two weeks time). Nobody really knows the number of people we've killed, but it's safe to assume it is several times the nearly 3,000 killed then.

And if there is a symbol of the futility of it all, it is this:

Nine boys collecting firewood to heat their homes in the eastern Afghanistan mountains were killed by NATO helicopter gunners who mistook them for insurgents, according to a statement on Wednesday by NATO, which apologized for the mistake.

The boys, who were 9 to 15 years old


I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that the Python's Mr. Neutron sketch was tragically prophetic. What the fuck are we there for now?

It would be great if this were a tipping point, so that we got the hell out. But no.

Jamie said...

apparently we're trying to prove that we aren't quitters and that we really care about Afghanistan. If we leave Afghanistan and stop killing Afghanis It will show that the terrorists have won.

Atta.
You very well know the reason -- which you allude to in your sour opening to the post, in which you wrote:

"In about six months the "decade" since 9/11 will....

And why all of your repulsive nastiness regarding honoring the memory of the victims of the 9/11 atrocities?

In the nine and a half years since 9/11 we have dishonored the victims over and over again. Killing some boys out collecting firewood is just the latest example. Remember those "Power of Pride" bumper stickers that appeared after we were attacked? Pride is powerful because it is a sin.

O&A, your comment is obscene. Have you no shame?

There are those who suffered loss on 9/11 who feel strongly that endless war is far from, as you say, "honoring the memory of the victims." Such overwhelming pain and suffering have been done in their names, that the honor has long ceased to be a factor.

Oh, and what wolfetone said.

Olives and Arrows said...

....did not say that Atta was dishonoring memory because he is against war. Your reading comprehension is quite poor, even for a leftist.

It was Atta's first sentence that was crass and shows his dishonor.
Here:
" In about six months the "decade" since 9/11 will be observed AD NAUSEUM."

Attaturk writes 'AD NAUSEUM' and the troll takes offense. How apt.

"The Troll

Trolls can come in many shapes and sizes, but no matter how you cut it, they are just plain ugly. They are mean, spiteful and rude. Trolls go looking for trouble.

No one, and I mean no one, likes a troll."

hehehe....

Woeful is such weak opposition to the trolletariat.

Anon at 2:28 PM brings even less than most of the regular lefties here.

/sigh

Trolletariat? That's a laugh.

"No one, and I mean no one, likes a troll...there’s a big difference between disagreeing and being disagreeable. Trolls don’t get that. They like to throw stones just to get a rise out of people."

9 little boys. That's left a lot of mothers, dads, uncles, cousins, grandparents, neighbors, friends and acquaintances mad as hell at America.

Not necessarily.
The smarter people will have already put it together that the reason the US military is in Afghanistan in the first place, is because of (the former) OBL and extremist Islamism.

The whole war is founded on lies and deceit. If not for the fact that the perps have not yet been suject to war crimes trials, this issue wouldn't still be something we are worried about.

Now Obama is torturing an American soldier using American troops on American soil. Who needs Gitmo? FREE BRADLEY MANNING - MAKE ROOM FOR CHENEY and BUSH and RUMMY and CONDI ad nauseum.

Enjoy.
