First the story about what happened in Afghanistan. BBC:
A US soldier in Afghanistan has killed at least 16 civilians and wounded five after entering their homes in Kandahar province, senior local officials say.
He left his military base in the early hours of the morning and opened fire in at least two homes; women and children were among the dead.
Nato said it was investigating the "deeply regrettable incident".
He is reported to have walked off his base at around 03:00 local time (22:30 GMT Saturday) and headed to nearby villages, moving methodically from house to house.Jesus Christ. I've been worried for a while now about how many young men and women are going to come back from ten years at war supremely messed up.
From LittleGreenFootballs:
I’ve looked at about a dozen right wing sites this morning to see how they’d react to the news from Afghanistan, and the comments at every single one of them were full of people celebrating the killings, praising the soldier who allegedly committed them, and denying there was any crime, while at the same time frantically trying to blame the crime on President Obama.
But the worst site by far is the right wing’s premier news channel, Fox News:
This is nothing! Wait until you see what happens to the n!qqqers here in the US of A when the new civil war starts!
