As has been documented time and time again, Islamists are cowards and scum

Afghan and U.S.-led coalition forces killed 25 Taliban insurgents and eight civilians after an ambush in southern Afghanistan, the U.S. military said on Monday.

The issue of civilian casualties has led to a rift between Afghanistan and its Western allies with President Hamid Karzai saying on Sunday that foreign airstrikes had only succeeded in killing ordinary Afghans and would not defeat the insurgency.

But, who is really to blame for the 8 civilian deaths?

The Taliban launched multiple ambushes on a patrol in the Khas Uruzgan district of Uruzgan province on Sunday, the U.S. military said in a statement.

The militants “then fled into a neighboring compound where they held 11 non-combatants hostage, including several children and an infant,” it said.

The insurgents then fired on the coalition forces from the compound and the troops called in an airstrike, but the statement said they did not know there were civilians in the building.

So, these “brave” Islamist ran to hide behind the skirts of women and children, then fired on the Coalition forces, provoking a response in the form of death from the sky.

So who killed the civilians? The Taliban scum.

“The Taliban uses innocent civilians’ homes, taking them by force to attack Afghan and coalition forces,” the U.S. military quoted Uruzgan Police Chief Juma Gul as saying.

“If civilians get killed during these attacks, the responsibility falls on the Taliban and their terrorist sponsors,” he said.

Now I am waiting for the Liberal response, which will tell us how bad America is.
