“Different cicumstances, wouldn’t you say? But, no, obviously you don’t.”

I have seen no evidence that the circumstances are different. Please explain how you know that those on the boat that were not Taliban knew that Taliban were on the boat and that the non-Taliban were backing the Taliban?

Try the above address as an ointment for your pseudo-righteousness. It’s also been posted on FR. Now, don’t bother me.

Not a thing at the link you provided even referred to Afghanistan, much less the people on the boat.

What a tragedy......</sarcasm>

Yes, well I don’t maintain the site; but, just for you, Sweetheart, I’ll give you a brief summary of what it said. It said that sixty(60) Taliban had been drowned when the raft they built to cross a river in order to avoid a NATO military operation had sunk. So, you see, all that handwringing for nothing. And, as previously stated, you can find the same thing in a previous post on FR, if you search.

By the way, anyone who gives moral equivalence to this incident with 9/11 has got to be a DU dummy-so, what are you doing on FR?

> The Afghan army was investigating to see how many Taliban insurgents and how many civilians were on board, the ministry said.

I thought Taliban insurgents WERE civilians, that's why they are classed as "enemy combatants" and not "prisoners-of-war"?

Or do I got that wrong?

Good pics. Nostradamas(1550)predicted that the arab will come to be truly repentant of messing with us. Just nuc mecca and islam rapidly disappears.

A prayer for the innocents, of course. But you have to wonder how many truly innocent were in that boat with those militants. Lie down with dogs; drown in a river of fleas.

Taliban fleeing government troops in a makeshift boat. No mention of innocent civilians. May they rot in hell.

Q: What do you call 60 dead Taliban at the bottom of a river?

Pond scum!
