For Coincidence Doubters

[Jim Farmelant]

I would assume that if the Red Cross warehouse was deliberately
bombed, the main reason would be to drive out of Afghanistan,
all independent sources for food and relief, as that country
sinks into famine.  Then the US would be better positioned
to use its control of food supplies as a weapon against the
Taliban.
