A Nato airstrike in Kunduz is believed to have killed approximately 70 civilians

Nato faces fresh and unusual criticism today after it emerged that booze has been banned from its HQ in Afghanistan after its staff were too hungover to give an explanation as to how 70 civilians were killed in an airstrike

Nato command HQ, Afpak. Just be thankful there wasn’t a toga party on, Russia might not still be here

This comes after a UN report detailing that 30% of civilian casualties in Afghanistan arise from attacks from the Afghan army and Nato – most of them airstrikes.

Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan. Is he pissed here? Lets hope not

Nato airstrikes have been condemned even by pro-Nato Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who may or may not have rigged the Afghan elections.

George Best. Also liked the drink, but did not bomb Afghan villages.

Being so pissed you can’t remember details of operations, or that they’re not even recorded shows a new level of contempt for Afghan lives though.

Commander in Chief of Nato. Cannot find his car keys, wallet, mobile phone or last name.

Nato may reassure us that the pilots who did it weren’t drunk, but accountability exists for a reason – if there isn’t any cos people are too fucked then it puts this occupation of Afghanistan in the same bracket as all the others; unjust, and unwinnable.

Lets bring the troops home, and make sure they can experience a safe transition to £1.20 a Deuchars atWetherspoons, with as few F-15 airstrikes as possible along the way.
