FTA: "Abu Yahya Al-Libi is a rock star in the jihadist world. With his videos and lectures going viral on the Web, he is Al Qaeda's Mr. YouTube."

I wonder why after a decade of constant drone bombings, occupation, countless civilian deaths his message resonates with so many people. Ah well, I'm sure one more drone bombing will solve this problem, and then we'll finally be free from the terrorists.....right?

It'll be on youtube.

strikes that have been increasingly unpopular among Pakistanis but successful in recent years at taking out terrorist leaders.

Some foreign country firing missiles into my country? What's not to be popular?

But the world loves America, doesn't it?

"The target zone, Mir Ali, is described by sources as a village that is at a crossroads for the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and the latest strike, according to Pakistani officials, is believed to have killed Arab members of Al Qaeda -- code for villagers."

Um, didn't we already kill him?

Some organization did a similar thing here, it may have caused some of the problem.
Perhaps you heard about it.

I thought they were talking about the #1 guy, since the #2 drop like flies.

Those #2's do seem to be getting younger and younger.....

Well, maybe if your country didn't take in billions of our dollars in aid, and then turn around and openly use that same money to support known terrorist orginizations, you wouldn't have that problem. The reason we fire missles into your country, is because that's were all the terrorists are. Tell your peeps to knock that shiat off, and the missiles will stop dropping from the sky like the fist of an angry god.

Pakistan knows they are wrong. And they know we know. That's why they don't put up more of a fuss. They have to biatch a little to save face, but the reason they don't start some shiat over this is because they know they really don't have a leg to stand on. (especially if it got blown off by missile shrapnel when you were a kid!)

Scarry, scarry TERRISTS!! Oooh, my!

I remember not to long ago it was scary, scarry kahm-new-mists!

The General Brass Bottoms and the military hardware makers of the world just want security. Their own JOB security.

What a known terrorist organization might look like.

Well, when you are the #2 guy in Al Queda, no matter where you go, there is always at least the following:

One lead lined refrigerator
A fire hose lightly anchored to a wall
An abandoned coal mine
A cargo plane with a zero zero ejection seat

Or maybe there really is a Bruce Willis Gene and this guy got it.

Was he guilty? He seems to have a good Al-libi.

Anyway, killing a bunch of people in Pakistan over 9-11 is more than a stretch. That was a Saudi crew, and that wing of al-Qaeda was wiped out a long time ago. The US is being very good at creating terrorists in Yemen, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Also, our intel people are good at naming groups as terrorist when it suits their purpose. Haqqani in Afghanistan is supposed to be the big threat now. They were a group the US funded when the Russians were the bad guys. The Haqqani have their own hatreds -- they are in a big rivalry with the Zadran (sp?) group. A lot of what goes on in Afghanistan is tribal war, not war against the US per se, though there certainly is anti-US hatred and violence as well because we've been bombing the crap out of them for ten years. My bro served there extensively in the early years and saw the initial freidnliness change to mistrust, then hatred. Curiously, we are not at war with Pakistan, though there is substantial evidence their ISI is anti-US. Besides, they have nukes and it is best to limit squabbles with those powers.

MythDragon: The reason we fire missles into your country, is because that's were all the terrorists are.

This isn't some special knowledge you have. We're not all sitting around going "oh, there are *terrorists* in Pakistan. Wow, MythDragon's post really changed my perspective. I now whole-heartedly endorse the bombing."

The reason so many people oppose bombing Pakistan is because simply targeting terrorists with no coherent long-term strategy doesn't work. We invade Afghanistan because of the terrorists. And then that ferments unrest in neighboring countries like Pakistan. And now we're having to bomb Yemen too. And the more we bomb, the more people hate us and the more we need to bomb.

So far, both our Presidents have completely and utterly failed to give us a strong vision of what the end of this global war on terror is going to look like. People that hate us aren't magically going to love us and shiat rainbows, and we're not going to be able to kill them all with drones and special forces ops that everyone loves to orgasm over. Until we have an actual workable plan for ending this insanity, all the bombings are just more failed policy.

Yeah. I'm sure he's just a nice, down home guy who wants to be left alone to practice his religion in peace, and harbors no ill will towards anyone.

I'll sleep better at night knowing one more asshole who advocates the murder of innocent men, women, and children who have nothing to do with the US Military, US Foreign Policy, or any action the United States has taken has shuffled his mortal coil and gone to be with Allah.

muddythinker: Besides, they have nukes and it is best to limit squabbles with those powers.

And the United States has enough nuclear weaponry alone to turn the Earth into a frozen, lifeless dust ball for the next thousand years. What's your point in saying this?

When you're talking nuclear weapons, the only winning game is one where your a good bluffer. Once you play that card, and the missiles go flying, no one wins. Especially not the person who launched that first strike.

The old Afghanistan "government"? Saudi Arabia didn't sanction it, if that is your point. They are terrible, and do support terrorism, but they didn't exactly say "yeah! Go ahead and do 9/11!"

scalpod: Or are we talking about #2 because we've killed him dozens of times...

Not the #2 of Al Qaeda (yes, I know it is a joke). We killed the #2 of Al Qaeda in Iraq a million times, but #2 of Al Qaeda was Mohammed Atef (killed in 2001 right after 9/11) and then al Zawahiri, who is now the #1.

Boy, you really did a great job arguing against your hallucination of what I said.

imontheinternet		2012-06-05 09:25:39 AM

That's why you burn the damn bodies. Has nobody thought to load incendiary rounds onto the drones?

Sudo_Make_Me_A_Sandwich: Boy, you really did a great job arguing against your hallucination of what I said.

Actually, I made a lamp shading, cynical remark. It wasn't intended to be rhetorical, nor composed to further debate.

I made my feelings on the matter perfectly clear in the second part of that reply. You forfeit your deserving my sympathy when you further the goals of a group which seeks to impose theocracy upon the people it subjugates, and views innocent men, women, and children as legitimate targets.

On that note, appeasement and isolationism are positions that don't work when you're dealing with militant theocrats who believe they're on a divine mission from God. You're welcome to debate me on that topic.

A last stand of remotely operated vehicles (drones and land vehicles) organized by a group of Army REMFS who are stuck inside their basement bunker against a zombie horde might make for a decent zombie movie.
