I see from news.google.com this morning that NATO hammered a load of Taliban who were hiding behind human shields. Interesting to see the different headlines from different news orgs with different, ah, agendas.
“That was very good,†Allah Nazar, the district police chief, said after the Ifta. “We liked it very much, and we’re glad Colonel Sturek invited us. It’s good we had a chance to discuss religion with our friends. The food was really good, but the most important thing was the chance to talk to each other….
…..Ummm and I really thought the hat-check girl was a hottie, but next year maybe we could keep our Kulushnikoff’s under our Krifka’s at dinner….just a suggestion….â€Â
The photos are unmistakably crass, ranging from a shot of a skull mounted over the headlight of a jeep to a close-up of a soldier holding his penis in his left hand and the skull next to it in his right. These are just two of five photos published Wednesday by the German daily Bild, showing members of German security forces in Afghanistan desecrating human remains evidently found while on patrol near Kabul. Two other photos show the skull affixed to a metal pole—a “cable cutter”—that extends vertically like a flag mast from the jeep’s front bumper. Another shows a German soldier holding the skull and grinning.
When reached for comment, the Bundeswehr simply replied, “oops”.
Well, it’s not like the Afghans ever played polo with the heads of Russian soldiers…
When Americans do something like that, it’s official government policy and all Bush’s fault. When anybody else does it, it’s aberrant behavior by a few out-of-control troops.
You know, the Euros only seem to have an “off” and an “on” switch when it comes to foreign relations, except in their case its “appeasement” and “atrocity”. Nothing in the middle. No subtlety. No nuance.

I’ve memorized the rules.
Bushkazi with an invader’s head is one thing… holding your schwanstucker out for a skull is quite another.
Wow, S.I.,
Are you cheering about the 60 civilians our troops killed this week?

What agenda could actually make this a good thing?

I blame Bush
Considering that terrorists don’t belong to any military, wouldn’t they be counted as civilians too?
