A US helicopter gunship opened fire
Either Dumeetha or her lackey anti-American source at the UN is full of fecal matter.
Uh huh, suuuuure.
U.S. out of the U.N. U.N. OUT of the U.S.
Huh? There is such a thing? Are they as experienced and reputable as their terrorist friendly leader Koffi Anan? Get the US out of the UN!
Yep.
And yesterday, there was an article regarding Ariel Sharon possibly being indicted by the ICC for the Gaza strikes of last week. Hell, we all predicted that Israel and the U.S. would be the likely targets. It's just becoming a reality now.
There was obviously a reason the pilot fired on the wedding. He obviously felt threatened. We don't waste expensive ordinance on things that we feel are no threat to us. But the UN just wants to propogate the idea that the evil US is trying to commit genocide against Afghanis.
What a world.
Over and out.
MM
Now that is pretty tricky, to tie womens hands behind their back from a speeding airplane. That is one "reputable UN person" they got there.
Some kinky weddings they have there in burka land huh? Can you see the scene at your local Trashcanistan wedding, "Do you choose this man for your slave master, clean his clothes, feed his children etc... Best man, un gag the woman and beat her till she yells yes...
Funny that the bride and groom were not there, just a lot of orphans and tied up people. No setup here folks, just another Jenin...
Probably locals who are U.N. employees (and tight with the Taliban).
How can you disagree with a gun crew who saw or may have saw fire fight? It was their hides on the line and their fellow soldiers not yours how dare you second guess or demand one.
What do you expect them to do go and ask excuse me are you shooting at me? It's a war zone persons die in war zones. Wars know no innocents.Fact finding missions? Please get real. You start this nonsense of second guessing every hit and miss you will have a military of none, which is the goal of the United Nations and some in Congress.
The job of a soldier is to kill. It is not to be the baby sitter of other waring factions nor as in Bosnia a rebuilding program for the third world. Once they are unleashed let them do their job as quickly and as safe for them as they can and get out after their victory. BTW victory the elimination of the enemy is the end goal not to go in and selectively round them up. Make no mistake on 9/12 2001 or as soon as it was linked to Afghanastan the bombs that were dropped in December should have been dropped upon those mountains that very day and any suspected military facility even if it was in a major downtown tourist hotel. Yep wars hell.
We won all wars up till Korea on this principle even the one with our own which BTW is Biblical. Read the battles of Joshua and David and see for yourself. You do not punish soldiers for killing the enemy nor do you as David did go into mourning from it's victims. One of which was his son who wanted to kill him for his throne and instead David was bringing guilt upon those who foght the war in his name by not going to celibrate with them in their victory and saving their nation. He is hand was called on the matter and rightfully so.
Sounds like the last three major wars we've fought to me. More concern for the other nations people than those we send to war. That is wrong. It's wrong to limit or tie the hands of warriors in battle. That was an unforgivable and immoral act of both LBJ and Nixon. Their's and congress added many unnecessary numbers to our list of our men killed or MIA. Getting permisiion to return fire is B.S. It should be a standing order if in danger fire, if fired upon fire back with vengance.
That is what a so call clean war gets you in return. It gets good men killed like the crew in Somilia. No thank you. There are no rules in war except victory over your enemy. If that's not the goal don't go there.
The leaders of the factions and nations against us understand the principle and objective of war our leaders need to take notice and learn them as well before more Americans pay the price either by terrorism or on the battle field waiting for orders from General Trench Foot at the club for permission to act like a soldier in battle who must first ask some State Department Stooge ect.
As for the stinking U.N.'s opinion? Who Cares? Oh yea our misguided politicans who got us into this mess doing business with terrorist to begin with.
