Taliban's 'First Revenge' for Bin Laden Killing Leaves 80 Dead in Pakistan

The first attack caused by the wonderful decision Obama made to kill bin Laden, rather than try him in court.

Taliban's 'First Revenge' for Bin Laden Killing Leaves 80 Dead in Pakistan - FoxNews.com

The blood of 80 people is now directly on the hands of our president. Do these idiots even realize that it doesn't exactly further their cause that if one of their own is killed for killing innocent people, that killing more innocent people won't sway people to their side?

Oh well, looks like the war on terror ain't over yet, is it?

So you are saying, if we held him for trial, the taliban would have been like "ok guys that's cool we no bomb people now"...


Seriously?
 
Kill Bin Laden, Al Qaeda sends homicide bombers.

Draw a picture of Allah with a bomb, Al Qaeda sends homicide bombers.

Leave Bin Laden alone, Al Qaeda sends homicide bombers.

Fart just the right odor, Al Qaeda sends homicide bombers.

Obama approves taking out Bin Laden, partisans snipe.

Obama doesn't approve taking out Bin Laden, partisans snipe.

Obama sends planes to Libya, partisans snipe.

Obama doesn't send planes to Libya, partisans snipe.

Bottom line: Partisans snipe and Al Qaeda sends homicide bombers. It's just what they do.
 
Okay, so your basically saying that killing Osama was a bad thing?
 
Ya know, the one good thing about suicide bombers is that when they're successful there's always one less of them....
 
The blood of people who died is on the hands of the terrorist who were involved. The US, nor any country, should let retaliation or threat of retaliation from terrorists influence any decision that is made. Bin Laden included. To be influenced by terrorists or terrorism is bending to the will of these people.
 
Changing the tenor of the thread, I wonder if people either in this country or abroad but particularly in Muslim countries and especially within Pakistan, still believe that the Pakistani military had nothing to do with harboring OBL?

Fact: His compound was situated in a residential area with a few mile of a military base.

Fact: Pakistani military (and intelligence) officials for years have denied helping or harboring OBL.

Fact: The first retaliatory strike in defense of OBL's death comes not against U.S. targets but against the Pakistani military.

Anyone find that odd? Personally, I find it very telling. The Pakistan military knew OBL was there and so did the Taliban and quite possible so did members of Al Quada. Why else would the strike against the Pakistani military?

I think everyone can read just fine, not just the words that were typed, but they can also read your tone and can read between the not so subtle lines and see that your usage of the word "wonderful" was oozing with sarcasm and that it was intended to be derisive.

I bet they say that anything short of continued attacks would be "bending to the will of those people" (referencing us). If we maintain that mentality nobody will win until the other is completely dead. I don't know about you, but I really don't want my children to grow up in a world where we have to discuss elevated threat levels, eye strangers warily on the plane, worry about visiting prominent buildings or using public transport.

Is the death or one terrorist suicide bomber the worth the lives of 80 innocent people?

I'm about 99% sure I didn't say that. I realize a joking tone is hard to display in text....

The Soviets withdrew in 1989. The Taliban didn't form until 1994.

Why did we go into Afghanistan? What was the mission? Should we still be there? Why?

Are you seriously trying to say Obama is responsible for the deaths caused by the terrorist assholes? That's seriously ****ed up and in no way logically supported.

I think it is a possibility that the Pakistani government and/or military knew where Osama was hiding.

However, to examine the counter-arguments:

(1) I think it's worth pointing out that it took the United States ten years to find him, and I think the United States has more experience and ability to find out where people are than Pakistan does, even in Pakistan.

(2) The more people that knew, the more likely it would be for the United States to find out.

(3) Given Pakistan's public stance, I don't see why Osama would trust any Pakistani officials.

(4) Pakistan was probably the easiest place to attack on short notice.

(5) If Pakistan really was protecting Obama, you'd think Al Qaida wouldn't want to antagonize such an ally. It's not as if Pakistan gave Osama away, if indeed they were hiding him.

In any event, it is certainly suspicious.

It was specifically stated that it was in direct response to the killing of OBL.

And? So? How would you have handled it (yes, I'm giggling) so that they would not have reacted adversely. It's more like "THE SKY IS BLUE! DIE, INFIDEL!!"

So, I guess that you think OBL was a great guy huh?

Also the GWOT ending is about as viable as the May 21st Judgement Day BS occurring.

EDIT: fixed BB code

EDIT 2: Changed "March" to "May," correcting the date

Something interesting...apparently Obama's step-grandmother in Kenya has received death threats, and has also been receiving security protection dating back to Obama's election. Also, Osama was obsessed with Obama, as well.

I agree it's suspicious and that it needs careful examination. I do not think it's beyond the realm of possibility that ObL could've been there without them knowing.
IIrc, we watched the place for a while and we didn't see ObL there til we actually went in.

If you have enough cash and enough help, it would be relatively easy to remain inside a walled compound indefinitely.
 
Dear people of Pakistan.

In case you missed it...and maybe you did...the people that did this have been doing this and similar things for decades, Appease them and they do it as your rulers. Ignore them and die. So....ya MIGHT want to consider ridding your country of these bloodthirsty little ****s once and for all.

Nothin but love...

I agree with you. But there has to be a solution. Terrorists and terrorism needs to be dealt with. We cannot give into terrorists and do what they say in hopes they will stop attacking innocent people. As long as people are being raised to hate America, and as long as people continue to think that terrorism is an option, we will continue to have these issues. We cannot bomb the hate out of people and I know that. There is a solution out there there hasn't been found. Giving legitimacy to the terrorist groups by allowing them to influence our decisions is not it.
 
They may be claiming that they did this because of Bin Laden's killing but I bet it was actually due to some obscure minister in some podunk town in some redneck state in the southern USA burning a book. :shock:

The title of this thread should be "al Qaeda murders 80 muslims"

The title of this thread should be "OP ****s up and implies that he thinks the president did anything wrong when he fully supports everything about blowing the mans brains out through his eye socket."

The OP worded his idea piss poorly that was rightfully misinterpreted. I was kinda sorda trying to play devils advocate, but forgot, on a webforum that's known as baiting/trolling.

Not my modus operendi. Sorry DP, I goofed. :3oops:
 
Let them kill each other. Saves us the trouble.
 
This attack is for the Pakis, not for us. By blaming us for killing OBL they think by attacking their own military that it will sway the Paki govt to split with us. That and the fact that they couldn't get to us as easily
