   But BooMan, think of your community members here! Surely many of us would love to share zany hijinks with young conservatives!

   U.S. Airstrike Kills 9 in Afghan Family

   By CARLOTTA GALL and ABDUL WAHEED WAFA
   Published: March 5, 2007

   KABUL, Afghanistan, March 5 — Nine members of a family were killed in an American airstrike in central Afghanistan, including five women and three children during a battle with militants, Afghan officials said today.

   After the shooting, hundreds of protesters blocked the main road from Jalalabad to the Pakistani border and threw rocks at police officers.

   The United States military acknowledged it had dropped two 2,000 pound bombs on a compound Sunday night but said it could not confirm the casualties.

   The incident came just 12 hours after American forces in eastern Afghanistan opened fire on civilians when a suicide car bomb exploded next to their convoy Sunday morning, leaving at least 10 people dead and 25 wounded, according to Afghan officials. The shooting sparked angry demonstrations that blocked the main highway Sunday.

   The military couldn’t comfirm the casualties. I guess dropping a 2,000 lb. bomb on a family doesn’t leave much.

   I take it as axiomatic that Barack Obama is a low information candidate who panders to low information voters.  An above average voter, I find it difficult to support his bankrupt candidacy.
