THE bombing of a Pakistani madrasah last month, in which 82 students were killed, was carried out by the United States, a Pakistani official has admitted, writes Christina Lamb.

The madrasah in the tribal agency of Bajaur was bombed during a visit to Pakistan by the Prince of Wales amid allegations that it was being used to train suicide bombers.

They were killed before they could kill US soldiers. Good pre-emptive strike, IMHO.

A less biased paper would have said "a Pakistani official has claimed" or "a Pakistani official state" since this contradicts previous statements and they didn't get a confirmation.

But if this madrassa was training AL Quaida then you grieve over any non-combattants and children there but the collateral damage doesn't make the attack wrong.

Those evil Americans, puppets of the Zionists, at it again. Bombing religious schools, killing scores of innocent students. Where's my suicide belt?

Not to worry.

Our 'good friends and allies' the Saudis will cut a check, have the place rebuilt, and send a brand spanking new wahabi imam in there and before you know it the joint will be spewing it's vile islamic poison into impressionable young Pakistani skulls full of mush before you can assemble a mob to scream "Death To America!"

Then President Bush will hold hands with Prince Faisal on the White House lawn as the cameras click away...

The State Department will then issue a statement praising the Saudi Government for it's 'quick aid and willingness to help another ally in the Global War On Terror.'

What a sick f****** joke....

"Still no word from Zawahiri."

I am starting to get rather helpful about that. In the past he has gone out of his way to immediately release a video after speculation that he had been killed.

Either we got him or he is finally getting smart and keeping his mouth shut until the next attack.

As far as I am concerned any Madrasah is a valid terrorist target.

Terminating the agenda of the madrasahs with extreme prejudice is getting to the root of the evil. These are the real ideological factories of radical Islam. We need to see more of this.

'students' my behind. Studying the Koran, studying bomb-making plans, studying how to bring down Western Civ.

Still no word from Zawahiri.

He's been held up. Something about a goat prick stuck in an orifice.

I also note no zawahiri vids. This is especially hugh
considering the gloating that he'd want to do for the
election results.

We and W could use some good news. Each day that goes by
it is more likely this was it.

I'm more worried about how many lived than were killed.
