FOX NEWS CONTINUES TO MISTAKENLY CALL SUICIDE BOMBER IN AFGHANISTAN ATTACK A "HOMICIDE BOMBER"


Back when George W. Bush was President, press secretary Arie Fleischer would always refer to any suicide attack in Iraq as a "homicide bomber" attack.

If the person who carried out the suicide bombing attack today at a U.S. base in Afghanistan were actually a "homicide bomber" that would mean he walked away from the attack. Such is not the case in this bombing in Afghanistan. The "suicide bomber" died in the blast along with eight American civilians.

This is just another example of how FOX NEWS twists a story rather than presenting the story actually as it happened.

Eight American civilians were killed Wednesday after an explosion in eastern Afghanistan.

A U.S. military official told Fox News that the blast occured in the Khost province.

Eight Americans, who were described as civilians and not members of the military, were killed.

The explosion was caused by a homicide bomber, a Defense official told Reuters.

A senior U.S. official in Washington said there were conflicting reports on the total number of casualties. Others were also wounded.

Wazir Pacha, a police spokesman in Khost province, says locals reported hearing a blast on a military base in the area.

Fox News twists everything to its own end. What a travesty this whole war is.

Nikki: Thanks for your comment. I finally figured out the appeal of FOX NOISE. They appeal to people with a room temperature IQ.
