Pakistani Defence Forum poster has an idea:

these madirchod harami taliban must be killed and wiped out using chemical weapons Pakistan army should launch another full scale all out assualt and get medieval on the taliban and cut all thier heads and make pyramid of skulls like Mongols used to do to teach them lesson they will never ever forget

The sentiment, however, is not pro-America in the slightest. Many think we're involved.

“not pro-America in the slightest. Many think we’re involved.”

Yeah, we were. We trained some of their POS army to be commandos.

...Bravo, soldiers do their job, prisoners are rescued, enemy is eliminated, or incapacitated...

...IMO, press releases should avoid the use of words, Commandos, Hostages, Militants...

...avoid the use of words, Commandos, Hostages, Militants...

Why omit those distinguishing terms?

Well you certainly do not want Mongols to get their hands on Nuclear weapons. Many here in the West are ambivalent to the shear terror and destruction that was the Mongols. Started off by laying waste to Beijing. Then the Steppes. Then they laid waste to just about all of Islam.

Funny, I saw some brief commentary yesterday that ISI was involved.

“Militant Siege”

I was just thinking how “militant” is just a euphemism for terrorist.

They change their words, and they think they are changing public perceptions, but often it’s just a euphemism.

That’s why no one wants to be associated with “liberal”: it’s just a euphemism for LEFTIST.

They think they change the language, but they just create new euphemisms. Good.

Why were there only 4 militants killed?

[Nuc1]

Pretty much how to wage war.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I really agree and like the idea of the Pyramid of Skulls.

course, that would be unsupported in our congress.
( another good place for a pyramid...ha. Put the pyramid on the congressional floor as a visual reminder of WHY we need to back up our military.)

FReepmail if you want on of off

[Nuc1]

Not sure I would go that far but the congressional reference ...hmmm.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Yeah, after hmmmmmm...that’s too far, HA.

I guess my point is that we are so hypocritical about not clearly showing WHY we go to war, that there are really evil people in the world...it is now politically incorrect to use the media the way we did in WWII...to villify the evil.

re: there are really evil people in the world

That needs to be shouted from the highest rooftops over and over! Remember the crapola George W. Bush took when he dared refer to “the axis of evil” and then name three countries that fit the description. The Left went wild with their denunciations of using that kind of ‘hate speech’. to the Left any speech that expresses a truth they would rather not hear is hate speech. OTOH, they can say anything they want, true or not, and it's not hate speech if it expresses their beliefs.

Even Rod Serling couldn't have envisioned a world as upside down as today in America.

...Right now I'm a thinkin thars too many words in the dictionay and thesaurus. Troops, Rangers, Green Berets, Airborne, Seals, Special Ops,,, hostages, abducties,,, terrorists, militants, fredom fighters,,, on and on, in every language, every partisan term, heroes, villains, saviors, demons, ect...ect...etcetera...

...The US is at war, our troops are fighting the enemy, to win. That's about all I can handle right now...

...Sorry you don't get my POV to keeping things simple in my world...
