Taliban bomb kills 13 women and children killed in Afghanistan. Where's the outrage! Why isn't this story on the media channels? I'v yet to see CNN, CBS, NBC or ABC report this.

A Taliban roadside bomb tore through a civilian vehicle in southern Afghanistan on Thursday, killing nine children and four women, police said.

The bombing in the troubled province's Dihrawud district comes a day after a similar incident killed eight civilians in the neighbouring province of Helmand and while US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was holding talks in Kabul.

There will be no outrage. That would offend muslims.

Animals killing animals. Nothing unusual in the last thousand years or so. No news here.

Someone should apologize.

How could it kill them if they were already killed?

It’s OK...
They were KILLED BY A DEMOCRAT, which makes them invisible to U.S.-Owned Network TV Cameras.

It’s quite miraculous how this happens.

It was the same when the US got out of Viet Nam.

We weren’t allowed to conduct a war for the freedom of the S. Vietnamese..... BUT, the N. Vietnamese and their Communist friends could off as many of the S. Vietnamese as they wanted... and DID, as soon as we left there!

Hanoi Jane and her BS friends didn’t make a peep!

Liberals defend these animals, whilst projecting the atrocities onto Christians and conservatives. The more we try to reason with liberals the more overbearing and offensive they become.

But when liberals are treated with contempt and disdain (as by Islam), with the ready threat of imminent violence, they display the lack of character that is their defining trait. I think the message is clear: The sooner we start treating liberals like the social and moral deviants they are, the sooner they will go on the defensive and stop undermining our way of life. It will be like the old days, when they were the ones preaching ‘tolerance’ rather than conformity (to their depravity).

Nobody expects any better from the Taliban.

The fact that everybody expects better from the US highlights the fact that we are the adults in the room. That is why we must make sure we act like it, hold to high standards, and use the power we have well. Like Reagan said, we’re the city on the hill.

That’s why it does no good at all to go around like Obama, apologizing for America. The world needs a confident, grown-up, America. Not a commiserating, “don’t feel bad, we’re f-d up, too.”

Maybe this was justified under sharia law. Maybe they deserved it because some sort of honor thing...maybe they disrespected some whacko mullah or something. Who are we to judge? Aren’t all cultures equal? Maybe each of should apologize...or something?????

“Dog Bites Man” stories, like stories of muslims killing muslims, muslim men killign muslim women and kids, are just daily business. The norm.. Nothing to see, move on folks.

Now if they kiled 13 Jewish women and kids at least here would be a story - about how the real victims were the displaced enraged muslims.

Meh.

Web definitions: “Meh” is an interjection, often an expression of apathy, indifference, or boredom.

They must have yelled “Alluh Akbar” as the activated the detonator. Uttering this magical phrase excuses all crimes committed immediately afterwards. We should teach this incantation to our troops. It would prevent a lot of misunderstandings.

Ah yes, the magic words. For Muslims, it turns cold blooded murder into a orgasmic, religous experience.

Give him time. He's probably trying to find a way to connect it to our "atrocities" so he can blame it on America too.
