Something tells me this wasn't supposed to happen. [quote][img]http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2011/3/10/1299758382576/Afghan-president-Hamid-Ka-007.jpg[/img] A furious row between Nato-led forces and the Afghan president over the killing of civilians looks set to turn into a full-blown crisis after an elderly cousin of Hamid Karzai was killed during a botched Nato operation. Officials in the southern province of Kandahar confirmed that Haji Yar Mohammad Karzai, a second cousin of the president, was accidentally shot during an overnight operation in the family village of Karz. Senior tribal leaders, including Karzai's powerful brother Ahmed Wali Karzai, had gathered for the funeral in keeping with the Islamic tradition of burying the dead within 24 hours. Athough details are scarce, it appears that a major intelligence failure could have been responsible for the deaths after Nato's International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) issued a statement correcting an earlier press release that had claimed a man killed in operations in the area was the father of a Taliban leader.

This is the last thing we need.
Well, shit.
Western troops kill civilians all the time in the middle east, even on purpose. Come on! Just this time it was someone important. Edit: Yes, war crime happens but no one is even tried at court. Edit2: By rating me dumb, you are rating dumb the countless innocents who have died as collateral damage or gunned down as "suspects" on the battlefield.
By western you mean American because we all know that America is the only country that invaded Afghanistan and the only country that kills civilians. Obviously because all Americans are bloodthirsty monsters that should be wiped off the planet.
I didn't say shit about america boss. Drop the sarcasm.

It's funny how it gets media attention now that someone 'important' is killed when nato troops have been killing civies since they entered...
Oops.
[QUOTE=The Mighty Boatman;28527122]wow you are defensive nobody mentioned america[/QUOTE] he gets upset if anyone criticizes america/americans
[QUOTE=JDK721;28527508]he gets upset if anyone criticizes america/americans[/QUOTE] No one should ever criticize America, you don't see us Americans criticizing Kenya or Nepal or anything.
Yeah, it's ok that you sometimes shoot innocent people or kids. Edit: The point is not that americans do warcrimes, everyone in history has done war crime at some point, the point is that none of these are investigated or tried at court. Edit2: No one is innocent but that doesn't make everyone any less guilty.
Why doesn't he just tell NATO to gtfo of his country.
[QUOTE=doonbugie2;28527871]Why doesn't he just tell NATO to gtfo of his country.[/QUOTE] We're helping them fight the Taliban, although after this fuck up he's probably just as angry with us as he is with them.
Maybe he wants NATO to leave Afghanistan because of just that... My god! Look at his avatar! He's with the taliban!

Ten years worth of building relations with the Afghans, down the drain.
