  • what they were doing there: the Taliban woke them up in the middle of the night and told the men and older boys to help them get the fuel tankers unstuck. Part of doing that was to drain some of the fuel off the tankers.

    Now how many people would not obey orders from a gang of man with weapons?

    A whole bunch of you don't have a clue about what is going on in Afghanistan. They weren't stealing, and the Taliban were not setting them up to be bombed.

  • this whole thing is pretty weird. What were so many civilians doing around a taliban truck in the middle of the night?

    One of the Afghan investigators stated that the witnesses had told him how the taliban had first offered gasoline to the townspeople and then forced those who weren't interested to stand around the truck.

    Looks like the typical taliban strategy to me. Make sure that NATO bombs as many civilians as possible by mistake and then sit back while they fight amongst each other.

  • ok so lets just accept this that the taliban did that

    so was the nato we are talking about 40 countries was that stupid 2 be played by the taliban?

    if yes then taliban deserve 2 run that country cuz nato and american hasnt been able 2 do a single thing execpt bomb civilians and then blame it on taliban yet they call them animals lolz

  • in the cold war Americans dropped sweets over Berlin. Perhaps that´s the better way. It had worked in Germany!!

  • Over 3,000,000 refugees since Obama's Vietnam began in February 2009! It took him 4 months to create the same no. refugees and killed and crippled by drones children as Bush did in 3 years! Congrats, New Warmonger!

    And Obama's spending a billion bucks to build new embassy in Pakistan and rents their army to kill families in Af-Pak borders--and a handful of 'insurgents'.

    You can't do Nation-building in failed states by the Gun won't work. Use the Trillion $ for Healthcare, Obama!

  • You idiot, weren't you around when Bush was in office? He's the one that started this war. Obama is just trying to clean up his mess. Bush started the war in Afghanistan, then in Iraq, now there's a whole big mess

  • Obama isnt going to clean up anything. He is an accomplice to mass murder. He didnt have to send 21,000 more troops. He didnt have to approve 500 billion for war as a senator. He didnt have to expand the war into pakistan.

    He is a puppet just like bush was.

  • If they where stealing fuel from a stolen NATO truck they where insurgents at that point.

  • Aghans are patriots defending their homes from illegal invaders. NATO is 100% insurgents. They are illegally in Afghanistan, a sovereign nation. They are guilty of armed robbery and murder. If you support them that also makes you an insurgent and an accomplice in a crime.

  • Yeah a bunch of innocent people on the brink of starvation deserved to be slaughtered. No need for a fair trial or anything. Just blow them to bits for stealing fuel.

    I'm sure you will be the one to criticize Arabs for cutting off peoples hands for stealing right?

  • Well I backup the german allied troops that called in the airstrike. If your riding a desk or a couch it's not the same as being in combat. My suggestion, the Powell Docterine, saves lifes cause it stops war by winning. Rather than see it drag out for 1000 years or more of suffering.

  • that is not what was happening there -- the Taliban did steal the fuel trucks after they overtook them.

    Imagine if there were foreign troops in our country and some gang took out their fuel trucks - that gang would be heroes in the USA.

  • the only good american is a fat illiterate violent jew owned monkey fucking mutt

  • anyone dumb enough to ally with america deserves what they get

  • It wasn't like anyone asked us. Our politicians just did it like the suckers they are.

  • Why Germany wants in with this bullshit afghan war is anyone's guess.

  • The reconnaissance of the German criminal Georg Klein, an officer(shooting kids several times at Kundus in the last months) Dr Jung[ Defense Minister] protocols

    that THE Bundeswehr_ARMY REPORTS LESSER THAN AN HOUR before the bombings of F-15 fighters has officially reported the two oil-transporters were at such a late time point captured by Talibans. True is that 12 hours PLUS earlier this capture-event happens haha "à qui bon? éclaireurs quelle erreure" ..that's a faulty error

  • Exactly

  • The German Press works! The dirty secrets of 3 milion refugees and hundreds of kids lying crippled thanks to Obama's New Vietnam in Af-Pak...are finally out for the world to see! Obama's "Embedded Press" --like WarMonger Bush--were HIDING THE TRUTH! No more.

    Obama should spend half a trillion (half his war budget) for HEALTHCARE, NOT WAR! SHAME

  • OLAY's skin ad just before young Afghani kids seen lying in bed disfigured, crippled with half-faces!!

    Is Obama's America no saner than the Bush Butchers? SHAME ON OBAMA!

    3 million refugees in AF-PAK and the WARMONGERS are killing like crazy! Assholes

  • Georg Klein and Uwe Bennecke and Barz ordered at Kunduz in the last few weeks several attacks on kids. Those German officers shooted and killed with the "ticking time bomb" argument that their Leopard_III tanks are endangered. A tank "Spür-Panzer Fuchs" of Georg Klein, who gave the order to bomb the oil-transporters, was so afraid by Afghan goats recently, that it rushed inn a river Georg Klein has a long record at Kunduz shooting kids. Prejudged assumption:Georg is guilty.
  • I feel bad for those civiliens,

    But we were attacked from there and THEY hit US hard!!

  • YoutTube is going to die from these stupid inappropriate ads. If we have to watch shit to get the news, it's CLEAR that the media, whether it's Fox or MSNBC, are CONTROLLED by the corporations who advertise here and elsewhere.

    America, demand that your news be free from corporate control. It's the only way we will hear the truth.

    If a news agency cannot survive without corporate control, it shouldn't exist.

  • There are networks like THE REAL NEWS and DEMOCRACY NOW that are non corporate public financed news that are expanding,found on youtube,that are very good.

    I'm not against use of networks having ads for hair products. But if sponsers are in the military industry then yes, they have vested interest in influencing the news to maintain support for war by not showing the reality of war in order to prevent public protest against the war.

    Support the alternatives Democracy now and the Real News.

  • Those are two excellent sources. LinkTV has a channel on YT, they're good too. I also like Al Jazeera English, which is funded by the Emir of Qatar.

  • Sorry man but i don't' have Commandment give to terrorist kill yours family and destroy yours culture.

    You so brilliant can you show me who have this Commandment.

  • So are you defending this NATO bombing and 'collateral damage' in general? Civilian casualties are an unfortunate fact of war and are always tragic, but too often they're avoidable, especially in this case.

    And when you say the terrorists kill families and destroy cultures, which side are you referring to? A case could be made for either the Taliban or NATO/US.

  • You look really good man and you against real terror who is NATO/US so every good man have to join Taliban,they freedom fighters .

    If you don't go you be one of terrorist you live in USA you pay taxes war go to Afghanistan be brave not hippocrat

  • I agree with the saying "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," and that things aren't as black-and-white as our media and politicians would have us believe. But join the Taliban or be a hypocrite? You're just setting up another fallacious black-and-white argument.

    The Taliban attack democratic institutions and kill civilians as well, what makes you think their actions are more justified when you condemn NATO/US for these same reasons?

  • When is the killing going to stop...Afghanistan can never be tamed.

  • omfg whats with the ad.

    Fucck you colgate, Crest FTW.

  • Well done CBS news for giving voice to the Afghan civilians and people in all NATO countries that overwhelmingly are against this war. It's incredibly sad and an unnessecary loss of life on all sides. People in all NATO countries and America need to start voting for politicians against the war because the sooner it is DIPLOMATICALLY voted against by the public, the sooner it ends.

  • of course, what good would come of pulling out and letting the taliban rip the place to shreds again? i am trying to be impartial with this, it is a black and white issue. we could have avoided all this shit if we intervened in afghanistan after the soviets pulled out. but we didnt, and now we are stuck in a war that will not end for possibly decades to come. no matter what NATO does, the afghans are going to lose. they have a choice between destructive bombing and genocidal fanatics.

  • I also like how they have the Brookings Institute, another elitist think tank group along with the CFR, THAT MAKES OUR FOREIGN POLICY ... sitting there defending what we're doing in Afghanistan. I guess CBS thinks we're retarded enough to think "institute" just means experts. Nope, they furbished both Bush's and Obama's administration with policy AND advisers and they, and the elitists they represent, not the American people, dictate the direction of this nation.

  • Washington Post calls this a "complicated incident."

    Shitty intelligence in a pointless war. How complicated is that? You decide the fate of hundreds of lives on a phone call from an "informant?"

    McCrystal was brought in because he was the most inhumane, un-American, for-profit scumbag they could find. Someone they knew put his CFR globalist status ahead of America and her real values. General Smedley Butler would slap this bitch into the next life.

  • Never trust a journalist, especially an american journalist. Journalists who work for criminal organizations like Fox or the Washington Post are the lowest of the low. Their goal is not to report any news, they want to control the politics by encouraging murder and war on both sides so they can make money off of death and suffering. Journalists and politicians like Bush are merchants of death and chaos and deserve nothing less than capital punishment.

  • Furthermore this sleazebag "NATO commander" pretending to have sympathy for his victims should be put in front of a firing squad, he's just a serial killer hiding behind a uniform.

  • Hmm i cant' trust journalist when i can get news?

  • Afghan civilians "harmed"??

    It was a fucking massacre! CBS wouldn't hesitate to use harsh language like 'brutal attack' or even 'deadly bombing' if the Taliban or 'al-qaeda' were the aggressors. Not even a mention of actual casually figures and then a spin on the story to put the emphasis on European support.

    This report would be laughable if it weren't so tragic.

  • If you know how to win war with out heart civilians please tell to every body!
