9 kids found dead after U.S. air strike in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan -- Nine children were found dead Saturday after an American air raid in eastern Afghanistan, and the military was investigating whether U.S. forces were responsible, a spokesman said.

An American A-10 aircraft struck a site south of Ghazni, 100 miles southwest of the capital, Kabul, where a ''known terrorist'' was believed to be hiding, Army Maj. Christopher E. West said.

''We regret the loss of any innocent life, and we follow stringent rules of engagement to specifically avoid this type of incident while continuing to target terrorists who threaten the future of Afghanistan,'' West said.

And if we get 'em while they are kids, they can't "threaten the future", can they? My tax dollars in action.
