Is it true?

Afghan air strike: over 100 dead in the U.S.
Denver / USA (dpo) - In an Afghan air strike on the American small town Stantsville near Denver (Colorado) this morning, many civilians were killed. According to reports of the local authorities, more than 100 residents - including many women and children - were killed. The American public is shocked. The attack, however, seems to be a misunderstanding.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai apologized shortly after the air strike to his counterpart Barack Obama for the civilian casualties, but stressed that an intelligence report had pointed out, that Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were in Stantsville. Cheney and Rumsfeld are former high-ranking representatives of the now ousted Bush regime, which carried out an attack on Afghanistan over a decade ago. After first information, the two Republicans were not located among the dead. U.S. President Barack Obama said, he would talk with Karzai about the matter and called for an investigation of the incident. Karzai himself didn't rule out further air strikes on United States territory.

I seriously doubt it. Plus a quick google search for Stantsville turned up nothing.

What are you on about?

Google comes up with what I assume is the same article as yours in German (by the way, google Stantsville, Colorado and this thread is the first listing on Google). There are no other articles to be seen and Google maps doesn't even recognise Stanstsville, Colorado as a place.

Also, how would the Afghans carry out an airstrike on US soil? I doubt they've got the necessary equipment, and even if they did get close, they would be hosed out of the sky by US defences for being an unidentified and possibly hostile aircraft in US airspace.

So in answer to your question: Probably not, no.

I have some priority nominations for the bombing mission queue. Jerry Sandusky, Bernie Madoff, Don Sterling and Kim Kardashian. Please hurry.

Kim Kardashian would need 2 airstrikes, one to demolish her ego, and the other to vapourise her big butt!

Uh, satire.

And as much as I resent US drone strikes and Cheney/Rumsfield, let's face it, this isn't even particularly good satire. For one, because you'd be fooling yourself if you expected Karzai - who was handed power on a silver platter by Cheney/Rumsfield would be sending them anything but expensive gifts.

I was gonna substitute Alec Baldwin, but his arrogance alone would take five strikes.

Bombing the Baldwins would start a war with Canada. Not a good idea

That's what we get for training their defense forces.

Why, what's Canada going to do? Be aggressively polite?
