From “Accident Sparks Riot in Afghan Capital,” May 30, 2006:

The public mood has also been tense since a U.S. airstrike killed at least 16 civilians last week in a village in southern Afghanistan, the scene of heightened fighting this spring. Afghan and U.S. officials blamed Taliban insurgents who had taken shelter in village compounds and then fired at U.S.-led forces.
Reality rears its ugly head again, and exposes yet another of Bush’s miserable failuires.
