Afghanistan: US-Army-Terroristen !

21-03-2012 12:18

20 US Soldaten am US Massaker in Afghanistan beteiligt .......... Karzai hat die US Besatzungstruppen bereits aufgefordert, das Land zu verlassen. Das ist der Megagau, wenn die selber durch Wahlbetrug installierte Marionette des Westens sich gegen die einstigen Verbündeten stellt. Untersuchungskommission bestätigt, dass bis zu 20 US Soldaten an dem Massaker an Freuen und Kindern in Afghanistan beteiligt waren. Zudem drohen nach dem Mord an 16 Dorfbewohnern in der vergangenen Woche afghanische Abgeordnete, die ausländischen Streitkräfte im Land zu Besatzungstruppen zu erklären und aktiv zu bekämpfen. Entgegen der bisherigen Darstellung hatte nicht ein US Soldat im Rahmen eines Amoklaufes 16 Zivilisten im Schlaf erschossen sondern es waren ungefähr 20 US Soldaten an diesem gezielten Massaker beteiligt.
