I posted this. Yes it was the taliban and may not be true but guys why is it that when americans state through their "reputable" press we immediatly lap it up. I mean look at all the statements that came out of the White House about osama. First he defended himself using a woman, then they said he was carrying a weapon and then in the end he was unarmed and their was a gun near him. Lets face it both sides in any war will use propaganda. But lets be fair and say the truth is somewhere in between what americans and taliban say. Rather than anything that is on bbc must be true and anything on press tv must be a lie.
US stays silent on 64 Americans deaths
Sun Aug 28, 2011 10:14AM GMT
UPDATE1
The United States has so far stopped short of commenting on a Taliban claim that they killed scores of American forces in Afghanistan on Saturday.
The Taliban claimed on Saturday that 64 US-led troops were killed in two separate attacks they launched in the southern city of Kandahar, a Press TV correspondent reported.
Taliban spokesman Qari Yusuf Ahmadi said on Saturday that the militants killed 36 American forces in a car bomb attack in front of the US base in Kandahar province and also 28 others were killed in another bombing near the military base.
The explosions were so powerful that rocked most of the areas in the province.
Local officials confirmed that an Afghan civilian was killed and 23 others wounded in the assaults.
Witnesses told the Press TV correspondent that US helicopters took the victims away right after the bombings.
With the latest deaths, Saturday has become the deadliest single day for US-led foreign forces since the war began in Afghanistan nearly a decade ago.
American forces in Afghanistan have been experiencing their deadliest days since the beginning of August.
On August 18, a huge explosion reportedly rocked a US military base in eastern Afghanistan and killed at least 27 American soldiers and left dozens wounded.
On August 6, at least 31 US Special Forces were killed after Taliban militants shot down an American helicopter belonging to NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan's eastern province of Wardak.
The security situation remains fragile in Afghanistan despite the presence of about 150,000 US-led foreign forces in the war-torn country.
The increasing number of troop casualties in Afghanistan has caused widespread anger in the US and other NATO member states, undermining public support for the Afghan war.

I admit the truth is somewhere in between you on the other hand vant bbc well go to bbc for your good feel propaganda, But dont forget how subtly they put india into its place with movies like scumbag millionaires and then have lots of documents about indians. They are taking the mick out of you and you cant even see it.

MODERATORS SHOULD PREVENT BLOG MEMBERS FROM PUBLISHING BOGUS AND UNVERIFIED NEWS. PLEASE DON'T TURN THIS BLOG INTO A JOKE.
First stop shouting. Secondly are you suggesting censorship that we only post western newspapers and so forth. Should we not hear iranian side and american side? Youy are brainwashed into thinking by american indian and israeli propaganda that anything coming from sources that are not freindly to them are suspect. look at how the American White house changed its storey from osama had a weapon and then he didnt who can we trust? So if talebans say something we should ignore it until the honest americans confirm it Why? why?
I will repeat for the hard of hearing. Look at post 4 and 8. Why does the death of Americans affect you in such a way?
and there really is no reason to shout young man.
Many people right in this forum discredited Press TV as iraian sh!t and propaganda in many occasions, one occasion the Press TV reported that PAF carried out attack in Afghansitan and killed 35 civilians, that wasnt true and gov of AFghanistan didnt even mention it, but now many people right in here believe this peice of news from Press TV, you cant have it both ways guyys.
