You make a point about something and voila, it's in the paper.
ALL AGENDA-PUSHING WAR PROPAGANDA, of course!
"Chief of Pakistani Taliban believed alive after missile strike; US spy aircraft target meeting of commanders" by Chris Brummitt, Associated Press | January 15, 2010
ISLAMABAD - The leader of the Pakistani Taliban apparently was targeted in a US missile strike on a meeting of militant commanders close to the Afghan border yesterday, but he escaped unhurt, Pakistani officials and militants said.
Of course he did. If that phantom is still alive he is working for CIA, so....
Twelve insurgents were believed killed.
MORE BLOOD on Obomber's hands!
The death of Hakimullah Mehsud would be a major victory for both for Washington and Islamabad in their fight against Islamist militants. Mehsud appeared on a video released last week next to the Jordanian militant who killed seven CIA employees in a suicide attack in December in Afghanistan.
Aww, who feels sorry for the CIA?
Mehsud’s Tehrik-e-Taliban movement, which is linked to Al Qaeda and the Taliban across the border in Afghanistan, has also claimed responsibility for scores of bloody suicide bombings in Pakistan in recent months against military, civilian, and government targets.

Yup, Al-CIA-Duh," yup!
The US missile strike was the eighth such attack in two weeks in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal region, an unprecedented volley of drone attacks since the CIA-led program began in earnest two years ago. The surge signals the Obama administration’s reliance on the tactic despite official protest from Islamabad.
That is how he earned the name O-bomber!!!

I'm SO SICK of MURDEROUS GOVERNMENTS and the MSM's s*** fooley politics!
And look at this beautifully constructed piece of obfuscation!
One or more unmanned US spy planes
Nice specificity, huh?
fired at least two missiles
So there could have been more
into a large complex that had been used as a religious school in the Pasalkot area close to the border with South Waziristan soon after dawn, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
How do you know it still wasn't being used?
Because lying, murderous government's claim it and their MSM shills report it as such?
That's a cause for disbelief.
The dead militants included two foreigners, while at least eight others were wounded, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Yup, it is ALWAYS GOVERNMENT S***S that are the sources for the MSM in AmeriKa!
It's why NO ONE BELIEVES a WORD anymore, and why the industry is dying.
Richard Holbrooke, the US special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan, said that he had no information on the strike but that Mehsud’s death would be a good thing.
Just another disgusting, mass-murdering Zionist being quoted in the papers.

"Are you glad the army came in, even though you were driven out of your homes?" Holbrooke asked.... "America has given a lot of assistance and food," Holbrooke said. "But it's up to the Pakistan Army to give you security. That's not our job."
You gotta be effin s***tin' me!!!

What an absolutely disgusting creature on the left there.
America does not acknowledge being behind the program, and its officials rarely talk about it directly. “He either is, or was, a very bad person,’’ Holbrooke told foreign correspondents in Islamabad.
Ever take a look at the lot that has led the government you work for, DICK!!

We are almost as good at it as Israel.

You've been warned, world.
Three Pakistani intelligence officials and four militants said Mehsud was not among the dead.
He was expected at the meeting, but authorities were still trying to determine whether he made it to the session, the officials said. They cited wireless communications intercepts tracking Mehsud’s movements.
Yeah, but they can't find their asset, 'er, agent, 'er, the bad guy.
The militants said Mehsud was alive, safe, and traveling. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject and for personal security reasons.
Who are these militants, and why are they acting like official government sources?
Confirming the casualties in US missile strikes is very difficult and often takes weeks.
PFFFFT!
But a "suicider" is attributed with them RIGHT AWAY, no questions asked in my *ewsmedia!
Pakistani officials are believed to provide some of the intelligence used in the strikes, but it is unclear whether they have access to the high definition images captured by the drones.
Why not? Everyone else can get a look.
Mehsud’s predecessor, Baitullah Mehsud, was killed in a drone strike in August in South Waziristan.

He's been killed a lot, huh, readers?
Hakimullah Mehsud, 28, has a reputation as a ruthless militant. He has taken responsibility for brazen strikes on Pakistani civilians and the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team last year.
Yeah, whatever, MSM. Whatever.
And why not get out the GENDER CARD, Globe?

Unknown, huh?
Yeah, you have to get up pretty early in the morning to fool a Pakistani.
I'm sorry, folks, but I NO LONGER BELIEVE in the Zionist MSM on this issue!!
That is what happens when you LIE to PEOPLE!!
This could be true, and I don't believe it.
I don't believe Muslims do this to their women, and I'm sure not going to believe the word of some Zionist agenda-setter:
LAST MONTH in Lahore, Pakistan, a court ordered the noses and ears of two brothers cut off after they were convicted of doing the same thing to Fazeelat Bibi, a 21 year-old woman who had declined a marriage proposal from one of them. Although few believe that part of the sentence will ever be carried out, it is considered a victory for women’s rights that the case against the brothers was even brought. The men were charged with kidnapping Bibi and trying to slit her throat with a wire for the “dishonor’’ she had brought upon the suitor. Instead, they merely mutilated her and left her for dead.
Every day in Pakistan - and in volatile trouble spots all over the world - women’s lives are routinely endangered, to say nothing of their “rights.’’
Because of the MISSILE ATTACKS, right?
Even where such practices are strictly against the law, they are woven into a social system where young girls are bartered away to pay off family debts, brides are killed in suspicious “kitchen fires’’ for having an insufficient dowry, and women marry their rapists because they cannot live with the social stigma of a crime not their own.
Why don't you take a look at India once in a while, huh?
"It is now the focal point for seemingly bottomless Kashmiri rage at the continuing presence of the roughly 500,000-strong Indian security force here.... a full-scale occupation..... They remain even though violence.... has fallen to its lowest point in two decades....
rapes by soldiers, extrajudicial killings, and a lack of redress are endemic, not least because security forces are largely shielded from prosecution by laws put in place when Indian troops were battling a once-potent insurgency here."

Oh, they are ON OUR SIDE!!!
Cultural violence targeting women is a bedeviling problem everywhere, but Pakistan is ranked third lowest on the World Economic Forum’s gender equality index.
Oh, the MASS-MURDERING, BOMBING GLOBALISTS decided that, huh?
Any word about PALESTINIANS treatment by the benevolent state of Israel in there, or.... ???
And, of course, Pakistan is a key strategic ally for the United States in the battle against terror. In the past two years Taliban extremists in control of the Swat Valley have stepped up their intimidation of women, according to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, bombing more than 400 schools for girls and condoning honor killings and rapes.
You sure it was Taliban, deary?
Against such a backdrop it is difficult to imagine women in Pakistan even leaving their homes, much less receiving an education and becoming agitators for change.
Oh, yeah?
"They sat in one girl’s home telling their story, their faces uncovered only because no man was present. But when Mohammed Matloob, the father of one of the girls, walked into the room, the other three quickly pulled their head scarves over their faces. His daughter, Nagina, 16, ordered him to leave the room, which he did, with a surprised shrug."
Aren't the children beautiful?

Tired of the Zionist horse s*** yet?
And yet the horrors only animate the courageous women who are fighting for peace and dignity in their war-torn countries.
Yeah, I'M SURE having WMD DUMPED on them is a GREAT THING, too!!!!
Gathered at Harvard this week for a colloquium sponsored by the Institute for Inclusive Security, many of these women - from Pakistan, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Lebanon - made a strong case for being brought into peace negotiations or other efforts to engage extremists.
What, they going to protest outside the Israeli embassy or the CIA?
And I AM FOR ANYONE who WANTS PEACE; however, I DON'T BELIEVE this agenda-pushing PoS does. This is just MORE WAR WORK-UP against Pakistan!
Yup, THEY ABUSE THEIR WOMEN so we must BOMB THEM into SALVATION!!!
Of course, AmeriKa is the KING of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, but why let hypocrisy stand in the way, right, Glob?
Humaira Shahid, an editor at the Pakistani daily Khabrain, became a member of the provincial assembly in her native Punjab. She describes “walking into a traditionalist parliament full of patriarchs’’ and successfully pushing a resolution recognizing acid attacks as attempted murder. Though she concedes that protective laws may not be well enforced at first, even a drop in the ocean sends out ripples of change. “You bring charges against two and 200 are scared’’ to commit the crimes, she said.
Mossarat Qadeem is executive director of the Pakistan Initiative for Mothers and Newborns, which works in the treacherous tribal areas training women in peace-building and registering them to vote. When three of her staffers were detained by agents of a tribal chief, she said, she walked into his headquarters wearing a white chador, the color of reverence and respect. She quoted verses from the Koran about the protection of women at him until he released the workers. The idea is not to overturn centuries of religious tradition, she said, but to expand it. “We empower women by strengthening the role they play within cultural and religious norms.’’
I was in Pakistan in 2006, just after the cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammad were published in a Danish newspaper. There were violent protests every day. Mobs attacked Western embassies, torched McDonald’s outlets, threw handmade bombs, and chanted “Death to Denmark.” Even with our heavy security it was frightening, not least because the protesters seemed so utterly beyond the reach of reason.
I feel the same way about that PoS you write for, Loth!
But perhaps dry logic is not the force to bring against extremism, just as military might cannot salve the grievances of young men who are indoctrinated or drawn to violence. Instead, the quiet moral authority carried by these “daughters of the soil” could be part of the solution, even in traditional societies. Perhaps more than anyone, women have a stake in restoring peace and stability, so that girls may again go to school, and they can start the work of rebuilding their communities. Women clearly have the strength; they just need the power.

And one more thing:
"The U.S. government was well aware of the Taliban's reactionary program, yet it chose to back their rise to power in the mid-1990s. The creation of the Taliban was "actively encouraged by the ISI and the CIA," according to Selig Harrison, an expert on U.S. relations with Asia. "The United States encouraged Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to support the Taliban, certainly right up to their advance on Kabul," adds respected journalist Ahmed Rashid. When the Taliban took power, State Department spokesperson Glyn Davies said that he saw "nothing objectionable" in the Taliban's plans to impose strict Islamic law, and Senator Hank Brown, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Near East and South Asia, welcomed the new regime: "The good part of what has happened is that one of the factions at last seems capable of developing a new government in Afghanistan." "The Taliban will probably develop like the Saudis. There will be Aramco [the consortium of oil companies that controlled Saudi oil], pipelines, an emir, no parliament and lots of Sharia law. We can live with that," said another U.S. diplomat in 1997."
Oh, that's a real kick to the lower groans, isn't it, ladies?
The TALIBAN was established under U.S. AUSPICES?
We can "LIVE WITH THAT?"
Well, I SURE CAN as long as the KILLING STOPS -- especially since (sorry) I NO LONGER BELIEVE the LIES PROMOTED by my WAR-MONGERING, MUSLIM-HATING, AGENDA-PUSHING AmeriKan PRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, it's a GOOD THING American missiles have "liberated you" from your ickey-pooh men and children!!
