Forbes/AP ^

Posted on 01/17/2006 7:38:45 AM PST by fabrizio

At least four foreign terrorists died in the purported U.S. airstrike aimed at al-Qaida's No. 2 leader in a Pakistani border village, the provincial government said Tuesday.

A statement, issued by the administration of Pakistan's semiautonomous tribal regions bordering Afghanistan, also said that between 10 and 12 foreign extremists had been invited to the dinner at the village hit in Friday's attack.

So who's hosting the next dinner party and can we offer some additional guest names?

Gore, Clinton, Kennedy, Dean, . . . .

Let's not lose sight of the fact that not wearing a military uniform makes these poor terrorists civilians, and we have to be the bad guys for targetting them...

I bet this little tidbit of information is not disclosed by the New York Times.

Oh my! Four or five dead, and ten to twelve invited to the dinner. But the MSM says they were all innocent civilians, and they wouldn't lie to me.

trebb, you are right. Where are the court reviewed and approved search warrants to follow their moves? These are civillians, and unless the government has evidence to prove they have committed crimes, then they should not be targeted and killed. If they have committed crimes, then arrest warrants should be issued and they need to stand trial. Bush is violating their constitutional rights and has violated U.S. law. But they didn't commit any crimes in America so the U.S. needs to mind its own business and let foreign countries handle their own internal criminal investigations. A terrorist can only be a terrorist after they have committed a crime. THis is a matter for law enforcement, not the military. < / liberal sarcasm mode>

Yep, Osama was the groom and Zawahiri was the bride.

Yeah, THIS is a credible news source... Since when does any Muslim news source get taken so credibly here at FR?

Meanwhile as the protestors chant Death to America for killing poor innocent civilians that hang with the worst of the worst monsters of humanity...........

"He made the comments during a joint press conference with former President George H.W. Bush, who is touring Pakistan as a U.N. envoy for the relief effort in areas affected by October's monster earthquake."


America continues to help the suffering thanklessly by the protestors.

I went to a college in Canada. I have learned how to mimick Liberal speaking. I don't understand it, but I know how to string their key phrases together. Up there, it is a survival strategy if you are conservative.

Damn you had me nodding along. Frankly m'dear I don't give a damn if there were terrorists involved. As I've said on the other thread...this was an act of terrorism by THIS country and makes us no better than the marauders in the Congo that don't mind if they kill children. The end does not justify the means. If that makes me a bleeding heart liberal pinko whining commie then so be it. Sue me for believing that the law belongs to everyone and not just those who agree with us.
