So, Valvano, were those kids not "too young to die" ?

Or were they "slimeballs" deserving of death?

Or will you be pushing for the execution of the US military personnel who pushed the button?

Nice work CIA.

Go fuck yourself American stupid-ass government. All covered in blood.

Sometimes you have to break few eggs to make a cake. Who's to say that the report isn't correct? Could it be a ploy from the terrorists to make the US Gov't look bad? Let us not forget that the terrorists will kill innocent people at the drop of a hat. Look at the destruction done to by standers when a car bomb goes off. Just Joe Smoe just taking his dog for a walk and kaboom. That's what he gets for owning a dog.

[Schmeltz]

minijosh makes a very good point: there really isn't much difference between a suicide bomber and an American airstrike. Both terrorists and American forces are perfectly willing to "break a few eggs to make the cake," killing whomever and whenever they deem necessary.

So both are equally deserving of the scorn and contempt of the rest of civilized humanity, I'd say.

Amen, brother.


I think we would all benefit from a veagan cake.

The attack was criminal. Those who authorized it should be held accountable.

Our local headlines yesterday: "U.S. Attack Irks Pakistan." Irked is what I feel when a gnat buzzes in my ears.

Wow.

You guys (and gals) must really love it when minijosh responds.....God forbid if you didn't have anyone to mock today.


As for the topic at hand....if it resulted in Zawahiri's death or those who would shelter him....then it was worthwhile.

If it can be PROVEN that Zawahiri was nowhere near there or HADN'T been invited, THEN you have a point.

Otherwise, you're just grasping at straws.

[Schmeltz]

So if al-Zawihiri said he was going over to your house for lunch and a Predator drone fired missiles into your driveway and wiped out fourteen of your family members, it would be OK because that's where the intelligence pointed?

Multimillion-dollar flying robots firing multimillion-dollar missiles into mud huts occupied by the world's poorest people. Oh, the noble face of the War on Terror! I shudder to think of the excoriation this generation is going to deservedly receive in the histories of the future.

How can a war be fought on If's?

That makes if even less legit

this must be the game bush is playing

According to you and yours, there won't be any history to write as Bush will have devastated humanity beyond the pale, right?

As for your first paragraph, as idiotic as the positing and conjecture is, in a purely objective reasoning : yes....it would be justified. Not OK, but justified.

We all have to make sacrifices for what we believe is right...and that doesn't include the carpal tunnel we'll all probably have from typing posts on the BBMB. ;)
