7200 Raisins Ordered Up

MargaReuterVille takes appeasement to a new level. Note the scare quotes around the word insurgent in the headline.

Pretty soon, "insurgent" will be dropped just as "terrorist" was, and we will soon see the headline "Over 100 Taliban Freedom Fighters Killed..."

Still, who am I to quibble? Over 100 Taliban TERRORISTS have been sent to Hell.

KABUL (Reuters) - More than 100 suspected insurgents were killed in a battle with U.S.-led troops in southern Afghanistan, the U.S. military said on Wednesday.

The battle erupted after a convoy of Afghan and U.S.-led forces came under attack in Shah Wali Kot district in Kandahar province, it said in a statement.

U.S.-led close air support pounded insurgent positions in the battle, it added.
