Ah yes, even the Taliban Commander now admits that the U.S. is hitting terrorist targets, 11 of the top 20 "high-value targets" along the Afghan border have been eliminated in the past six months. http://www.newsweek.com/id/182653?from=rss
I wonder what Americans would think if the situation were reversed. What would the elimination of "high-value targets" be seen as?
You mean if the Teliban would be allowed to operate as they do in Afghanistan , beating, torturing and basically forcing everyone there to submit to their terrorist ways. To eliminate education, to behead women who do not comply with their views to take children away from their parents if their parents don't do as they are told?
The situation was reversed for a lot of years, we have been on the receiving end, remember, the Marine Barracks in Lebanon, Kobar Towers, the Embassies in Africa, WTC 9/11, and a hundred other attacks that The Islamic Terrorist have executed. You have been BAMing about what we thought, and have done about it ever since.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Yeah, like operate Gitmo, kill hundreds of thousands of people etc. Anyone who thinks Pakistan will help the US to fight Taliban, lives on a distant planet that also believes Obama intends to bomb the red states. Just because they are clueless right wing extremists doesn't mean they are not considered part of the population. The cluelessness is incredible.
?????????? 11 of the top 20 "high-value targets" along the Afghan border have been eliminated in the past six months. And while the Americans blast the bad guys in the tribal areas, the Pakistanis have been confronting problems in their own ranks. Since September, 140 pro-Islamist officers have been mustered out of ISI, according to a senior diplomatic official in Washington, asking not to be named on such a sensitive topic. Yes SAM what planet do you live on? Hmmmmmmmm?
I believe everything I read in American newspapers. I'm sure that if the Republican retards [aka neo-cons] were bombed today, the American people would similarly start purging them from their ranks and help the foreign invaders by confronting the rot in their own ranks. It makes perfect sense. Politicians always ignore their own constituencies for foreign governments.
Yes SAM, cover your eye, and ears, just like the child you are when the story doesn't comport with your ideals of what is going on. The storys are true, and they show that Pakistan has decided to go after the Talidan and AlQueda leadership. Remember every thing said in public by Pakistan is for Public Consumption, what they do behind the scene is far different, and as the Taliban Sub Commanders said:
That's just SAM's usual obnoxious self - trying to put and anti-American twist on everything she comes across. HEY, SAM!!! Is the U.S. is so bad, why don't you just get out of here?? We'd be happy to let you leave.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
You don't see, what the Pakistan Government see's, it will do what is in the best interest of their Government, and guess what, destroying the Taliban and Al Queda is in the best interest of the Pakistani Government, as they wish to stay in power, and move to a fully secular government.
I guess you prefer to believe what the US media decides is optimal for "public consumption". We can see what is actually happening in those places. Guess you people never learn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3xTihZKePw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_hWi3JLIdY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SaCbfCZxpo
Sam, When you ask how would the US feel if it were bombed, that evokes images of 1000lb bombs dropping on neighborhoods, killing hundreds. The predator missiles are comparatively small, and cause few collateral damages. They seem extremely effective, and the only alternative is giving up the fight.
Why are you people so fucking stupid!!!? React to the posts of sam and other hatemongers if you must, but only in replies to people who understand the difference between meaningful debate and nonsensical propagandizing. CUT THE SAM'S OF THIS FORUM THE FUCK OUT OF THE CONVERSATION!!! YES WE CAN!!!
Or conceding that throwing bombs and missiles at people is not conducive to national security. But, its American money to throw and if they want to throw it on the Afganis in rebuilding infrastructure they destroy, no one can stop them. Pakistan just got, what, 800 million dollars?
1. Newsweek is not the gospel. 2. Pakistan is a sovereign nation. Whatever the pretext, the US should not be sending missiles into Pakistani territory. This "war against terror" is a farcical excuse for violation of borders.
