Islamabad, 2008-10-28 15:30:28 (DPA) Dozens of cross-border strikes carried out by US forces from Afghanistan into Pakistan’s lawless tribal region have killed 301 civilians and wounded more than 240 others so far in 2008, a media report said Tuesday.

Citing figures compiled by Pakistan’s interior ministry, The News daily said most of those killed in 32 recorded incidents of missile strikes, drone attacks and one ground raid by the US forces were civilians.

According to the report, only eight US strikes hit the targets, killing 36 Al Qaeda and Taliban militants, while the remaining 24 strikes killed 301 civilians and 18 Pakistani security personnel.

Most of the attacks were said to go wrong because of the faulty intelligence provided by US local spies in the tribal belt, a known sanctuary of Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters launching cross-border attacks on US-led international forces in Afghanistan.

1. Well now, isn't that a nice Christian thing for our compassionate, conservative

leaders to do?

And they wonder why the American people are about to hand them their asses in November. What hypocrites. What liars. I guess they think special consideration will be extended to them when they meet their maker. :eyes:

2. This is why I just have to laugh (in a psychotic, really worried way) when McCain

blasts Obama for "announcing" he'll attack Pakistan. Hey fucktard, we've been attacking Pakistan for almost a year now. We must have run out of innocent Iraqis to kill.

3. Why is Congress allowing Bush to wage war on two more countries now

Without any authorization. You really screwed the pooch by supporting the IWR you assholes.
