War?

Oh yeah... oh yeah... that war.

U.S.-led coalition forces killed 76 Afghan civilians in western Afghanistan on Friday, most of them children, the Interior Ministry said.
We're still there? I never would have guessed.

Harper's Index tells me that there were 300 total minutes of network TV coverage devoted to the war in Iraq in 1H08, down from 1,229 in 1H07. I can only imagine how abysmally low Afghanistan ranks, but don't forget, we're fighting there too.

War?

Oh yeah, that other war.

Seventeen civilians, 12 of them children, were killed and 30 others wounded when a suicide bomber blew himself up near a NATO convoy in southern Afghanistan, officials said Tuesday.


NATO's International Security Assistance Force said seven of its soldiers were wounded in the attack, some of them seriously.


A spokesman for the extremist Taliban movement, which is waging an insurgency against the Afghan government with the support of Al-Qaeda-linked operatives, claimed responsibility for the blast in Uruzgan province.


Way to have terror on the run, Bushie.
