Obama used to say US should not be "just air raiding villages and kill civilians" in Aghaniustan when Bush was running war. Civilians deaths in Afghanistan have increased in Afghanistan since Obama took charge. Why he no longe talks about civilian deaths in Afghanistan? Fear of reprisal from his masters?

REPORTING FROM KABUL, AFGHANISTAN -- Afghan President Hamid Karzai and NATO officials have clashed once again on the issue of nighttime raids by Western forces, this time over an incident that left a pregnant Afghan woman dead.

A spokesman for the NATO force, Brig. Gen. Carsten Jacobson, said Monday that the commander of Western troops in Afghanistan, U.S. Marine Gen. John Allen, had met with Karzai over the weekend to express “deep condolences” over the woman’s death in Paktia province.
