Some of those questions are ridiculous - US targeting civilians? Not true. It's well known that the Taliban use civilians as human shields. However, civilian casualties are unavoidable in any conflict. It was nice to see the V. President stand up for the US/NATO/Afghan coalition - Do you guys report on all the atrocities by the Taliban such as the poisoning of a girls school recently? I doubt it. If this is considered journalism in Russia, then certainly the great Russian people deserve better. They deserve the truth...Oh yeah, they can't get the truth because your puppet democracy won't allow it. Good Day.
