In Pakistan school attack, Taliban terrorists kill 145, mostly children
CNN ^ | 12/16/14 | Sophia Saifi and Greg Botelho

A deadly, hours-long siege of a school in northwest Pakistan ended Tuesday evening with all the Taliban militants responsible killed, at least 130 people -- most of them children -- dead and a country once again grasping for answers after a horrific attack.

Six suicide bombers scaled the walls of Army Public School and Degree College in the violence-plagued city of Peshawar around 10 a.m. (midnight ET) intent on killing older students there, according to Mohammed Khurrassani, a spokesman for the Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan, or Pakistan Taliban.

These Taliban had "300 to 400 people ... under their custody" at one point, Khurrassani said.

Pakistani chickens coming home to roost.

For decades, the pukes have been supporting Islamic terrorism. They are simply paying for it. In the next decade, the gulf “countries” will be experiencing the same. Sweet!

As long as America is self-sufficient in energy, these shitholes going up in flames has no bearing in our wallets.

ISIS, Taliban, and other assorted Islamic vermins, carry on! Make sure you target your fellow islumics... purify Islam, o’ good soldiers of Muhammad the mad pedophile!

Good link and good reminder.

The latest Taliban atrocity in Pakistan must pretty severely embarrass the rest of the Obamarrhoid Mooks who crawled out on a creaking limb to deliver The Won's olive leaf to the bloodsoaked beneficiaries of all the tortured rationalizations, word-parsing, and lawyer talk all of which clearly contemplates U. S. relations with a future Taliban government of Afghanistan.

Actually, Taliban is already a plural, "seminary students/madrassa students", of which talib is the singular.... I think.

How could this be?

Someone in once said it is a religion of peace.

But is a vile, sick, and wicked cult that is enveloping the world.

I just went back to my comment at that FR post and clicked the Al Jazeera article. There are now almost 3,000 comments, but you have to wait a little for the map to paint, and then go all the way to the bottom below other notices of articles or links. Let me know if you get it OK.

See you read my personal page. Airborne tanks. That would be light weight Sheridans. He was 82nd at that time. They drop the tanks separately with multiple parachutes, and the troops individually. While they had that capability, I don’t think that option was exercised during Gulf War I. Also they finally got their new tanks just before the land war began in the winter of 90-91. He sent some great photos, I should probably have the film negatives worked up as a disk and put on my computer.

ISEL has now executed 150 women in Anbar, Iraq for refusing to marry a Jihad warrior. Some were even pregnant.

pretty impressive,
Can’t imagine being some guy in the Afgan countryside all of a sudden seeing American tanks flying to earth.
Thanks

There is an inherent flaw in your statement:

"What makes human beings completely ignore their inherent emotions of empathy and sympathy."

These are LEARNED attributes, not instinctive traits. Watch a child with a magnifying glass and an anthill, or a stick and a dead squirrel.

Muslims have been taught, from birth, that non-muslims are ants, non-members of their family and tribe. When we, as thinking human beings, realize that this distasteful task must be performed, and expand the scope to include our local enemies, there will be a convulsion, and world peace...

You like modernity, no? These barbarians are enemies of it and liberty. First they came for the Pakistani school girls...

In America it’s government school teachers radicalizing kids with lies, bias and hate.

Good post. Islam is a fatalistic religion, so it’s no wonder it attracts these kinds of nuts looking for a blaze of glory with 72 houri at the end.

Nice to know but don’t tell me, tell Mrs. Clintoon. She’s the one who said it.
