You can't win wars like this

and then American thinks people there aren't cooperative with them that's why their so called victory is delayed there, sad to see super power failed to devise a single effective strategy in Afghanistan that can lead to win win situation.

Friendly Fire and civilian deaths happens in every war.

There is no battlefield platform on the planet which can avoid civilian casualties.

i fail to understand ISAF statement that they had reports of militant activity in the area.....the locals, according to media, said there was not even firing.

hope their investigation leads to certain people being held accountable.....lives needlessly being lost due to carelessness

if they were fired on - on the ground or in the air where's the damage where's the casualties?

I lolled really hard at this.

What if Osama was sorry for 9/11? Would you forgive him. But i guess that's just the price little weak people pay in this world.

And I really lolled at your post.

Osama did 9/11 on purpose. If USA really wanted to harm Afghan civilians they can nuke Kabul.

Get a reality check.

this is also true; i agree with that

but obviously, this wont bode well with Afghan public. These types of things really cause harm to their mission, whatever it may be.

"Militant activity" can mean much more than just firing, for example, replenishing supplies.

I would wait for the investigation into the sequence of events before concluding anything.
