War is damn messy … The only thing that is “exact” about it is a direct hit on a bombing target … We kill those we were aiming for … and those the bad guys were using as human shields … It is their doing, not ours.

Word is at least 3 of the villagers were beheaded prior to the bombing … AP:KABUL (AP) — A suicide bomber on a motorcycle killed 12 civilians in southern Afghanistan, as police fired Thursday on a crowd of rock-throwing protesters in the west who were angry about civilian deaths they blame on American bombing runs.U.S. and Afghan investigators were examining the site of the alleged bombing deaths, but it was unclear how soon they would have a report.In southern Helmand province, a suicide attacker on a motorbike set off his explosives Thursday near an international military vehicle in a market area of Gereshk district.
