Afghan civilian casualties skyrocket

The United Nations has released a report about civilian deaths in Afghanistan and it states that civilian casualties are sky rocketing. Nearly 1,300 Afghan civilians have been killed already from the start of the year; the deceased are mostly women and children. The Afghanistan people don't want NATO led forces into their provinces because once the coalition forces come in, Taliban insurgents are not far behind.

Don't you get it guys? they will keep feeding them heroine, so their lives will be miserable and see being a suicide bomber as a only way out. This freaking fake war is never going to end its there to stay forever like a milking Cow. Makes me sick to think about it. this war is really getting annoying.

Marina Portnaya is an honest reporter. Where is she?? We need ones like her.

Its funny that the US likes to talk about the Taliban killing people, but this reporting doesnt really touch base on the US killing masses of people with 2,000 JDAMS and Predator Drone strikes droped on villages who dont comply with them :)

@fedengo The Taliban hide amongst childen and in temples and will destroy the lives of anybody that will further their will including each other. And they have been killing each other way before America entered the area...

@14842 US military is guarding the poppy crops, not destroying them. Before US invasion, Taliban forbode poppy farming and drug use.

@daster9 Taliban kills civilians who cooperate with American invaders.
