And if you would like to be fully informed, look up his full commentary, so as to put his quote in actual context.
Apart from that, I concur with the rest of you assessment, lol.
So, the New York Times is publishing lies and garbage? The u.s. general quoted is also lieing?
The Times, true to fashion, is using a cherry picked highly inflammatory and nicely out of context quote, to paint the actions of our Troops in a bad light.
Nothing new there.
I'm tired of doing all the leg work, so I suggest that you and the reast of the anti war types do some of your own, and look up General MCCrystal's full comment.
At least a hundred and forty one Canadians have been killed and many more wounded in Afghanistan, mainly by roadside/suicide bombs and ambush by the Taliban. If an Afghani civillian gets too close to Canadian or American troops without making his identity and his intentions clear and he gets shot, it is unfortunate but that is the cost of this war. I don't believe the Taliban could travel around the country as freely as they do without a lot of help from Afghanis.
What sort of uniform do these Taliblab wear to distinguish themselves from the civilian population?
Not at all, if one was so inclined to use a little thought, instead of what you pass off as it. One would seek the full quote and understand the context in which it was said.
I have no doubt, that you haven't the cognitive skills to ascertain the legitimate context of the quote, nor will it do any good towards changing your mind. So the task would be futile on all accounts.
Besides, I have a full grasp of the context of and the reality of the comment made by General McCrystal, and watching you look like a boob, along with the rags you quoted, makes me feel superior in every way.
Thank you, that was a wonderful daily affirmation.
Yes I know, funny how stupid is contagious in your crowd.
It makes finding the actual report hard to find. I can only imagine what it must be like for you to go looking for it. Limited by your obviously lengthy cognitive and comprehension skills.
You read into it whatever you want. I know ... you don't need my permission to do that. If it is read it in another context - and sort out the pacifist angle - it reads: "Shyte happens".
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle ... but I doubt if you'd recognize it.
....and I quote "We have shot an amazing number of people, but to my knowledge, none has ever proven to be a threat."
Lumps in you`re porridge this morning, bois?

The Americans have had 5000 plus casualties in Afghanistan from Taliban suicide/roadside bomb attacks. Since the Taliban try to blend in with the general population, civillians are going to get killed along with them. It was the ones who didn't get shot that set off the bombs.
Hindsight is always 20-20. It's better to be safe than sorry when you're surrounded.
I had eggs and toast
:roll:...And I challenge you to find and post the entire comment. So that the context is revealed.
Failing to do so will speak volumes about you JBeee...:lol:
How old are you? My sons don't eve talk like that.
"Americans have had 5000 plus casualties in Afghanistan from Taliban suicide/roadside bomb attacks"....
Hmmm....you mean not one of those 5000 died from hand-to-hand combat with the Taliban?
