Killing Afgans

So the military bombs the shit out of an Afgan wedding where hundreds of innocents were alleged to be celebrating and perhaps in the rhasphodies of joyfulness, firing AK-47's into the air which subsequently led to the tragedy in the first place. Lets not forget that the bomb employed as part of this military "mistake" was not a free-falling "dumb-bomb," but a laser guided, GPS-controlled "smart-bomb." A costly and extremely accurate warfare device. Notice anything at all wrong yet?

Well, if you dont then lets start with the Pentagon's story. They claim that some airplanes doing routine patrolling had come about some nasty "anti-aircraft" fire that was in reality the rounds of AK-47 discharge sourced from the wedding below. Thinking they had stumbled upon a large bit of Taliban forces out in the open, plain to be seen and assembled en masse, they responded by dropping an extremely expensive, precision guided smart-bomb.

Anyone with even a layperson's general knowledge of munitions knows anti-aircraft fire is quite dis-similair of fully-automatic machine gun fire. Anti-aircraft shells are large and explode in the air, producing flak, or shards of metal, intended on ripping the engines of airplanes apart. How could highly trained military pilots become confused? How could they make such an unlikely mistake of discernment?

Now, remember that Gulf War footage of smart bombs flying down stairwells and negotiating ventilation shafts so that they could hit a target "right between the eyes?" Of course this is an exaggeration but my point is still clear. These are highly accurate--and EXPENSIVE weapons that, since the Gulf War, have had over a decade of improvements made on them--most notably communications and guidance with GPS resources. A malfunction is possible, but out in the open, where cheaper options are available, why use such costly tactics when so many cheaper options are readily available?

Ill tell you why. The military MEANT to hit this wedding, and now they are employing the spin doctors to convince American, European, and Middle Eastern folks that it was all just a tragic accident.

Now, the military does not go about just killing civilians for reasons of race or any otherwise arbitrary reason. Im not going to posit that. Instead, this was a large Afgan wedding. Many, many people were there. The military thought that Bin Laden, or one of his co-horts was present, and knew this was the easiest way to terminate him (them). No large amount of thought is required to see this scenario as the much more logical one. The military used a costly smart bomb because it wanted to ensure the bomb would NOT miss the wedding. Everything surrounding the circumstances points to what I conclude, all that is required is a degree of scrutiny, and the willingness to see that Pentagon, and governmental press releases in general, do not always reflect the truth of motive and/or cause leading up to and causing some sets of events.
