#4 Is Karzai concerned enough to order Afghan infantry to assault Taliban fortifications and hostages?

#5 A United States-led airstrike overnight killed ~~at least 12 members of an Afghan family and 20~~ 32 Taliban fighters in the volatile southern province of Helmand...

There that's fixed. The news media never gets it right.

#6 What I have never understood is how you can tell them apart (civvies from talibunnies)? Marcus Luttrell's goat herders were civvies according to him and the fricking lawyers in the pentagon but they turned him and his team in and were co-collaborators with the talibunnies. No, forget your "style" book Rooters and AP and APF, there is no difference in this war and if you believe it to be so, prove it.

#7 AKI: Embattled Afghan president Hamid Karzai has stated his concern at the number of civilians killed in Afghanistan this year during operations by foreign and Afghan forces. These number 230, according to an umbrella body for aid groups in Afghanistan. A series of protests demanding the expulsion of U.S. forces and the resignation of Karzai have been held in recent months over civilian casualties.

I guess if the government encounters protests, then the leader is "embattled". This must mean that democratic governments around the world are embattled.

#8 Embattled Afghan president Hamid Karzai is facing an increasingly sophisticated and resilient resistance, resulting in a surge of sectarian violence.

#9 I wonder if "embattled" Taliban leader Blinky Omar will state his concerns to his guys about hiding behind civilians?
