WELL......EXUUUUUUUSE ME!

The accidental killing of 24 Pakistani soldiers by NATO forces is only a front page story because of the repercussions it has caused the prosecution of our senseless, murderous and utterly futile war in Afghanistan. Pakistan immediately closed a vital route providing roughly half of all supplies to NATO forces fighting in Afghanistan, and gave the US fifteen days to shut down Shamsi airbase in Balochistan province.

Our government, our media, our war profiteering corporations give not a hoot for the thousands of innocent civilians and allied soldiers will kill and maim and make homeless. All they care about is keeping open the supply routes and the bases so our weopons of mass death keep flowing and firing.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, made members of the war party, expressed condolances to their Pakistani counterparts and their utmost support for NATO's "intention to investigate immediately." They should save their breath. We don't need no stinkin' investigation. We just need to pack up our bullets and our bombs and our canon fodder and get out of the Middle East.
