Taliban gunmen shooting couple dead for adultery caught on camera (is Pakistan about to fall?)
Telegraph ^ | 4/25/09 | Saeed Shah

Posted on 04/25/2009 10:02:57 AM PDT by LibWhacker

Taliban gunmen have been filmed executing a surprised couple whom they repeatedly shot for the alleged crime of adultery.

Their deaths were squalid, riddled with bullets in a field near their home by Taliban gunmen as the execution was captured on a mobile telephone.

In footage which is being watched with horror by Pakistanis, the couple try to flee when they realise what is about to happen. But a gunman casually shoots the man and then the woman in the back with a burst of gunfire, leaving them bleeding in the dirt.

islam is an evil death cult.

And the liberals in the west embrace it and vilify Christianity.

In an extraordinary move, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, called on the people of Pakistan to defy their government, saying they "need to speak out forcefully against a policy that is ceding more and more territory to the insurgents".

Ooooooooooo!!!! I am so sure the Taliban will settle down now that the Hillary has spoken!! They must be shaking in their boots!!! /sarc

This is what I don’t get. If the government is really about to fall, why wouldn’t they send front line troops with tanks and artillery from the Indo-Pakistan border to confront the Taliban? It’s not like India’s about to invade Pakistan any time soon. This whole thing sounds like a setup to convince Uncle Sam to hand over aid without preconditions, so the Pakistani state can continue feeding the Taliban and al Qaeda without consequence.

Anyone else feel like we might be seeing this kind of story HERE in the US before too long?!

"The Taliban LIBERAL EXTREMISTS are steady and confident, the government is weak and faltering..."

"A TalibanLIBERAL EXTREMIST victory will enslave our women, destroy Pakistan'sAMERICA'S rich historical and cultural heritage, make education and science impossible, and make the lives of its citizens impossibly difficult. Some are already contemplating an exodus."

"Using the media is part of their (the Taliban's LIBERAL EXTREMISTS) psychological warfare..."

"This way, they inject fearAPATHY/COMPLACENCE/IGNORANCE into the minds of people who might oppose them, keeping the majority silent."

These are the animals that Obambi wants to to engage in dialogue ... try to reason with ...

Which tells me that Obama is either 1.) completely clueless about human nature, or 2.) is a meglomaniacal narcissist with feelings of omnipotence, or 3.) both.

How ridiculous - of course the Taliban are seeking to expand the territory and population they control.

Pakistan at present doesn't have the will to resist so it will fall, break into a group of dissimilar warring states and millions will die.

Eventually India will sponsor a "new Pakistan" that has no control over its foreign policy.

They are paranoid about India. That’s the reason why they are ignoring the cancer within.

On top of that, it was reported that the Taliban sympathizers are so deeply entenched within the Pakistani defence establishment, that they suspended or transferred bearded officers recently, as a precaution.

With anyone other than Zero-bama in command, the US could seize this as an opportunity.

A few hundred special forces and a few suitcases of money every month and we could have de-facto control of the entire country in a short time, as we knock off warlords one-by-one.

Far better that millions die in Pakistan than that millions die in the US from one of their nukes.

So now, within the 1st 100 days, we are confronted with a nuclear North Korea, a nuclear Iran, and a nuclear taliban controlled Pakistan. We could be looking at a dead Japan, a dead Israel, a dead India, and Nuclear weapons coming up through Mexico. Thank God that Obama is President. I feel safer already.

The closing paragraphs to the article:

******************************

There were no names for the two victims.

“Using the media is part of their (the Taliban’s) psychological warfare,” said Imtiaz Gul, chairman of Centre for Research and Security Studies, an independent think tank in Islamabad. “This way, they inject fear into the minds of people who might oppose them, keeping the majority silent.”

After the couple were shot, the family were told to take their bodies away for burial. The punishment was administered by a local group of the Pakistani Taliban linked to warlord Baitullah Mehsud.

*******************************
Looks like we do have a name: Baitullah Mehsud. We will likely be hearing more on him, War in Afghanistan is about to become the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Will India help?

Meanwhile we have a weak pustule as a president playing Machiavellian games with the CIA to protect Obamas now obscure history from leaking into the press.

Things do not look good for the future of our military in Afghanistan, at least in the near term.Likely many serving in Iraq will find themselves soon in Southeast Afghanistan, poised on the Pakistani border, or everybody will be called home as we leave India and Israel to fend for themselves, the later being the likely scenario to an already evolving US isolationism.

Hillery Clinton has been laughable on Iran, rattling her marshmellow sabre while getting no acknowledgement of her self touted liberal moral superiority from Iran. Iran could care less, for they know weakness when they see it.I guess the Muslim world is somehow beyond the reach of the continuing Zero propaganda campaign that portrays him as a saviour, a man who would wear a white hat if he could but find one.America has become the laughing stock of the Islamic world.

And the bloodshed we will see abroad will nauseate even those with the strongest of stomachs. Such are the wages of weakness.

Let any Sharia law advocate attempt to punish Americans
as this poor Pakistani couple were. It will unleash the wrath of patriotic Americans. We will soon have many of these Islamofascists immigrating here, among us.This is the reason that the US MSM did not carry this story, for it reveals what may come to our very own streets.

Taliban gunmen shooting couple dead for adultery caught on camera (is Pakistan about to fall?)

For all intents and purposes, Pakistan is a lost cause.

The only thing left is for Obama and Hillary to officially declare Pakistan as a failed state.

About the only thing we can do now is for Obama to officially ask whoever is in charge in Pakistan for permission to go in and destroy their nuclear weapons and missiles before the Taliban take over. The world would be infinitely more dangerous with the Taliban and Al-Qaeda having nuclear capabilities. Let's hope that Obama has enough intelligence to realize that that's the only thing we can do now.

We no longer have the will nor the power to do anything about Pakistan or Iran or North Korea, especially under Obama as president and the democrats in control of congress and with with the loony liberals (like Moveon.org, HuffingtonPost, DU, DailyKos) dictating domestic and foreign policy for the country.

The unwarranted assumption also is that the Taleban are telling the truth accusing the couple of adultery. Islamic husbands use all sorts of lies to get rid of an unruly wife. Islamic males cannot be trusted, especially when in a mob carrying weapons and shouting. Satan is in charge of such vermin.
