"The Air Force has conducted more than 2,000 airstrikes in Afghanistan over the past six months, a sharp increase in bombing that reflects the growing demand for American air cover since NATO has assumed a larger ground combat role, Air Force officials said."
I like how NYT inserted the word "demand." Oh, yeah. There is a huge demand in the Arab world among the people for US bombs over their head. "Thanks America"--is that not what Kanan Makiya wrote after the invasion of his country? Also, is it odd that you still bomb a country from the air 4 years after "liberating" it? Is that not excessive "liberation"? |
