Obama: We need to stop killing innocent Afghani villagers

I wonder if this was a “botched joke”? From Breitbart/AP:

But during a later appearance before about 800 people in Nashua, Obama made a comment likely to further the spats he was warned about.

Asked whether he would move U.S. troops out of Iraq to better fight terrorism elsewhere, he brought up Afghanistan and said, “We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.”

Oh, so that’s what we’re doing in Afghanistan! And here I thought we were fighting terrorists, helping a fledgling democracy, and keeping the Taliban from regaining power! What the heck was I thinking?

“Halp us, Obomma! We R stuk N Afgannestann!”
