Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

This is why I and other sane Muslims support the drone attacks... Anything that rids this world of scum like these must be justice.

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

in other words you support the killing of more young boys... but it doesn't matter since their deaths will not be as painful as hanging? or it doesn't matter since those drones are not near you killing your young boys? we understand you sane mooslimz are quick, efficient and obedient to the stars and stripes! bend over as long as it doesn't hurt you huh?! sad and pathetic.

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan


Which young boys are u refering to? Im talking about killing terrorists and criminals. You must be one of those poor deluded saps who think the Taliban are rational and well intentioned...

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

There is nothing sane or Muslim about you. What the **** are you smoking?

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

These people are not muslims they are barbarians .

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

I say subhumans like them should be tortured extensively -- as lesson to others, that taking an innocent life is against the tenets of Islam and basic humanity.

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

I'll support the drone attacks the day that these subhumans are the only ones targeted. I'll support the drone attacks when civilians and other children are not "collateral damage" in the drone "misfires."

Punish the criminals, don't assault an entire region.

^Exactly :k:

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

lol... So say anonymous closeted internet terrorist/ sympathizer CM... You must get such a rush from seeing innocent children being murdered by these animals.

Honestly man, If have earned the dissatisfaction of pathetic self proclaimed "Muslim" like you, then I have served Islam and humanity well... :)

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

And on what are you basing the conclusion that the drones are targeting anyone other then those subhumans?

No one supports the deaths of innocent people. That goes without saying, although the moral grounding of our bearded brigades raises some eyebrows.

There is no such thing as a collateral free war. No war has ever had zero collateral damage. Such is the nature of war. Innocents suffer in all conflicts. To believe otherwise is to be naive.

The nature of War is also such that it involves entire regions. Conflict is never confined to a single area. Punishing criminals often means inadvertently punishing those they surround themselves with. Regardless of whether the Drones are used or not, the entire region would still have been assaulted. How many people have died in the conflict between the Pak Army and Taliban that didnt involve drones? The people of South Waziristan are yet to return to their homes, and Swat is yet to see peace.

The drones of are a horrible aspect of war, but they are a lesser evil. The Taliban have killed far more people in their war, and the deployment of Pakistans Army has meant far more destruction and displacement then the drones.

The ideal solution to all this is to not have war at all, but this war is one that must be fought, and such criminals must be punished. In this context, the drones are a much lesser evil and mean far fewer casualties and far less displacement and destruction. Its a cold calculation, but such is the reality of war. Or would you prefer the Pak Army go in and diplace the entire population, and destroy their town and homes completely? Or should we perhaps let murderers go unpunished?

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

Contrary to your claims of intentional targeting of civilians, there are reports of drones NOT firing on high value targets to AVOID casualties.

"CIA drones may be avoiding Pakistani civiliansA chance to kill a powerful militant was reportedly passed up last year because women and children were nearby, reflecting a possible increase in concern over such casualties.
February 22, 2011|By Ken Dilanian, Los Angeles Times
The CIA passed up a chance last year to kill Sirajuddin Haqqani, the head of an anti-American insurgent network in Pakistan that is closely linked to Al Qaeda and the Afghan Taliban, when it chose not to fire a missile at him from a Predator drone because women and children were nearby, U.S. and Pakistani officials say.
In a press briefing for Pakistani reporters this week, a military commander said U.S. drone strikes were killing mostly militants and al Qaeda fighters, not civilians.

Recently, however, the Pakistani general in command of forces in the embattled North Waziristan tribal agency told reporters that “a majority of those eliminated [in drone strikes] are terrorists, including foreign terrorist elements.” Until this statement, the Pakistani military and government had not confronted the perception created by Pakistani media and anti-U.S. politicians that U.S. drones target, almost exclusively, civilians. This article explains the significance of the general’s comments, which should serve to temper what appear to be broad misconceptions about the accuracy of the U.S. drone campaign.

So perhaps you will consider supporting the drone attacks, since their the only one’s that are successfully targeting militants. A harvard grad like you must know how to differentiate reality from clear propaganda, especially the sort emanating from Pakistani media.

Pathetic, running out of words that can describe these b@star ds.


"sword" in Karachi?

Read about 1947 migration and you will forget this one.

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

Look for you the US is Islam and the Obama is the holy Prophet. You are the one advocating the killing of innocents in Pakistan.

I am just surprised how many of you buy with CNN has to sell, when it didn't even cover the full story. How do I know? I work in Afghanistan. So yes there is more to this story than just "Taliban" killing a kid.

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

Did we not witness reports of the Taliban hanging another 7 year old last year? Do they not use intimidation against the innocent Afghans and Pakistanis? What else can we expect from ruthless killers and cowards… Kidnapping a young child to force the parents to bow to their demands?

Our condolences go out to the brave parents of this young child who would not adhere to the demands of the wicked Taliban. Our sympathies are with the police officer who refused to hand over the official police vehicle to the Taliban goons (who would use it to kill many) and paid the ultimate price with the life of his 8 year old son.

How ruthless can you be to kill an eight years old…And many call them mujahidin. The mujahid is the father who lost his son to save many!

I call on all who think Taliban are any good to change their way and join in to condemn them… Peace can only return when these ruthless killers are either eliminated or brought to justice.

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

^But things like that and even worse are happening everywhere these days, not a valid reason to keep the forces in Afghanistan IMHO.

Re: Militants hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan

LOL. Everyone know that Casey Anthony was wrongfully acquitted from the court for murdering her own daughter. This is not the first incident in USA where a parent killed his/her own kid(s). We should have NATO forces in USA to keep people away from killing their own kids.
