The magic cut-off is revealed to be about 30-40. Such revealed facts tell far more than mere words. Some years ago, Human Rights Watch’s Marc Garlasco when in the employ of the Defense Intelligence Agency as an air strike targeting decision-maker would have to seek higher level clearance for U.S. air strikes if the estimated Afghan civilian deaths (“collateral damage”) exceeded thirty.

It’s high time the German government mapped out a clear plan for withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan, write German media commentators. Shocked by last Friday’s deadly air strike, voters in Germany want a new strategy that will lead to a pullout.

GANJGAL, Afghanistan — We walked into a trap, a killing zone of relentless gunfire and rocket barrages from Afghan insurgents hidden in the mountainsides and in a fortress-like village where women and children were replenishing their ammunition.

Americans have lost their ability for introspection,thereby revealing their astounding hypocrisy to the world.
US War Secretary Robert Gates has condemned the Associated Press and a reporter, Julie Jacobson, embedded with US troops in Afghanistan, for taking and releasing a photo of a US Marine who was wounded in action and died from his injury.

The connection between this:
“The IMF wound down its programme there 10 years ago and formally withdrew in 2002, adopting a “declaration of noncooperation” with Mugabe’s government.”
and this:
“Zimbabwe has suffered a decade of economic meltdown and record hyperinflation”
has been studiously ignored almost everywhere for the best part of…..,well, a decade.
An honourable exception has been Stephen Gowan’s blog.

Zimbabwe‘s crippled economy received a boost when the IMF sanctioned a $510m (£311m) loan, its first to the country in a decade.

Barack Obama to Cindy Sheehan: Get Lost
At Obama’s Summer Place with Cindy – “Leadership” of Peace Movement, MIA
by John V. Walsh, September 04, 2009
Antiwar.com
I spent but a short time with Cindy Sheehan as she carried her antiwar protest from an earlier time at Crawford, TX, to Martha’s Vineyard, vacation spot for Obama and many other Democrat Party elite. As Cindy remarked, the real story was not that she was protesting Obama’s wars but that the “leadership” of the peace movement did not support her protest. When the target was Bush in Crawford, she was all the rage with antiwar celebrities, but not so now that the target is Barack Obama. While there is considerable enthusiasm for her anti-Obama protest on the part of the rank and file in the anti-war movement, a refusal of its “leaders” to notify their members far and wide, high and low, crippled the action.

An Unpopular War
What Obama Isn’t Telling You About Afghanistan
By ANTONY DiMAGGIO
Counterpunch
President Obama finds himself in a precarious position when calling for escalation of the war in Afghanistan. While this conflict is traditionally seen as the “good war,” American and Afghan public support appears mixed at best. There is good reason to suspect that the limited support for war that exists will evaporate after casualties on both sides increase and Afghanistan’s security further deteriorates.
