Truth, First Casualty of War:

Taliban Claim Killing Scores of American Soldiers, NATO Media Dead Silent About Casualties of All Sides

Al-Jazeerah & ccun.org, February 18, 2010

We can't help today but remember General Patton's words: "The first casualty of war is the truth."

Pro-Taliban Website ( http://www.alemarah.info/english/ ) claims killing 74 US soldiers today, February 18, 2010. The website did not provide any evidence to support this claim, such as videos or photos of killed soldiers or destroyed tanks and vehicles, which deals a blow to its credibility.

NATO countries news agencies, such as Reuters, AP, & AFP, did not report any casualties among the NATO forces, Afghani civilians, or even Taliban fighters in Marjah.

Apparently, the people of the world, particularly in NATO countries, are shielded from the truth by various parties, including their media.

Here are the website headlines:

18 02 10 38 Americans and Britons killed, 11 U.S soldiers injured with 7 tanks eliminated in Marjah
18 02 10 Five Americans, 7 Afghan soldiers killed in Marjah, 8 U.S soldiers injured
