"Taliban cause most civilian deaths in Afghanistan"
Seems like a reasonable headline to me. Instead:
Update: More headlines we'll not see (via milnews.ca in "Comments"):
US pledge to reduce Afghan deathsIn fact no mention of the Taliban in any headline I found. Hmmm. Spin, spin, spin.
Civilian deaths in Afghanistan grow in 2009: UN
UN: Civilian deaths up 24 percent in Afghanistan
...the report also said the number of civilians killed by the Taliban and other "anti-government forces" during the first half of the year was double those attributed to the U.S.-led coalition and Afghan government forces. The U.N. termed that a "significant shift" from 2007, when the coalition was responsible for 41 percent of civilian deaths...

Remember, that's "attributed" to the US and other anti jihadiscum forces.
Attributed, as in bodies left after the weps and spent brass are cleaned up for the cameras, dead goats buried so that there's that smell of death coming out of the ground to prove someone's buried there, etc and so on.
Lets also not forget that the vast majority of those "attributed" civilian deaths were also human shields held hostage by the jihadiscum and put in positions that the US and other anti-murder/death cultist forces had no choice but to fire upon in order to close with the degenerate jihadifilth. A degenerate jihadiscum that goes about its murderously merry way anyway among the civilian crowds with their head choppy joyjoy whenever the intellectually inbred snivelers of western "journalism" aren't around to watch.
"...Attributed, as in bodies left after the weps and spent brass are cleaned up for the cameras, dead goats buried so that there's that smell of death coming out of the ground to prove someone's buried there, etc and so on." According to Strategy Page articles, this is quite a pronounced phenomenon in Af-stan, as it very quickly gets the "victim's" family/clan/village a culturally acceptable blood-money payoff "apology". Sort of the Afghan version of Western padding of insurance claims, acceptable by many with self-serving moral codes.
"...the intellectually inbred snivelers of western "journalism"..." AKA MSM presstitutes. Wouldn't it be nice if we could even get a careful neutrality in this war from the bulk of the West's MSM?
Here here!
Following your lead, I've come up with a few MORE headlines we'll never see, based on the same report.
Belief in your own propaganda is always instructive.
Thank you.
Here's another column, this by Diana West, entitled "Will Our New Afghan Policy be "Fatal Hesitation"?"
The vast majority of civilian casualties in Af-stan are deliberately caused by the Taliban, roadside bombs, etc., or as a result of the Taliban using Afghans as human shields. Yet the NATO forces get the heat.
