Let us suppose there were Pakistani mercenaries, employed by that country's secret intelligence service, driving around the United States armed with semi-automatic pistols, with diplomatic immunity, hunting down extremist militants. That would mean, in the U.S., Christian dominionists, minutmen, the Michigan Militia, that sort of thing.
Or perhaps acting as agents provocateurs, or spying on the U.S. military?
Suppose this was happening with the knowledge and tacit approval of the United States government? Suppose one of them shot two U.S. citizens, and a vehicle from the Pakistani embassy, driving the wrong way down a one-way street, struck and killed a third citizen on the way to rescue him?
Obviously, we would think that was perfectly normal and acceptable. What's wrong with those wacky Pakistanis that they are upset about the identical situation? The Asiatic mind is sure obscure.
Well, lets see...if my country was in a state of civil war....with large areas out of control of the country's government...with terrorists blowing up people...with the economy tanking because of the violence....and the people living with fear of being beheaded if they say the wrong thing.....and another country was trying to help kill the terrorists....giving huge amounts of aid..... risking their own lives to help ours.......... I just might accept that sometimes bad things will happen.
Man, you are denser than a neutron star.
Aaaaahhhhh.... you paint an imagine of Pakistanis riding around the US whacking those crazy Christians as a direct comparison....and I'm the dense one.....right
yes, you are the dense one.
Interesting that thewiz only cares about innocent victims of violence when they are hurt/killed by the CORRECT people - which happen to NEVER be Americans. It's like we only kill out of kindness or something, in order to bring forth freedom and a better life for all - including the dead people, the widows and the orphans!
He is quite dense, and it is on purpose.
I was wrong about Libya not using USA-made weapons on it's own citizens. Apparently, they are doing exactly that, and since 2005 when Bush "normalized" relations with Gaddafi, they have sold LOTS OF WEAPONS. Not sure if this was part of US "aid" to Libya or not.
It is Saddam all over again..... except, maybe, this time, the Republicans won't stop the US congress and the UN from condemning his killing of his own citizens- like they did with Saddam in the 1980s.
At least 15 people were killed today in a new flurry of US drone strikes against Pakistani tribal areas. The first strike killed seven people in South Waziristan, while a second strike killed another eight in North Waziristan.
The strikes were the first in nearly a month, an atypical lapse that has fueled reports that the detained CIA spy and US ‘consulate worker’ Raymond Davis, who police say was captured with GPS tracking devices on him, played a key role in the strikes.
As is always the case in such strikes, Pakistani officials immediately termed everyone slain in the strike a “suspect,” but provided no indications to suggest that any of the slain were “high value” targets, nor indeed any indication that they were militants at all, beyond the fact that missiles hit their homes.
[Guilty until tortured or killed guilty.... no proof needed for the blood thirsty warmongerers!]
Rest here
Such strikes have killed over a thousand people in the last two years, but only a trivial number of them have ever been conclusively tied with militant factions, and the vast majority of them appear to have been simply innocent tribesmen.

PETRAEUS IS A LYING SACK OF SHIT

A leading human rights group released a report Monday documenting the proliferation of human rights abuses in Iraq since the United States invasion in 2003.
Among the most egregious cases, the 102-page report by Human Rights Watch identifies women, journalists, detainees, and marginalized groups, including internally displaced persons and religious minorities, as the most vulnerable populations in Iraq.
“Beyond the continuing violence and crimes associated with it, human rights abuses are commonplace,” the report found.
It said that in many instances the Iraqi government has failed to pursue “independent and impartial” investigations.
“At a Crossroads: Human Rights in Iraq Eight Years After the U.S.-Led Invasion” is based on 178 interviews with individuals from a variety of stations in Iraqi society in seven cities across the country dating back to April 2010.

SULAIMANIYA / Aswat al-Iraq: Three citizens were killed and 121 were wounded in the clashes that accompanied protests in the city of Sulaimaniya, a medical source said on Monday.
what a shocker - other NATO countries lie too:
Norway joined NATO in suppressing reports of civilian Afghan deaths
“Norway’s ambassador emphasized the need to avoid a public debate about the reporting of the number of civilians killed.”
They also are sociopaths who only care about dead people when they are killed by the "correct" people.
I wonder if they also are concerned about clumps of cells called fetuses, but only if they reside inside a uterus of an American or Western and are not part of IVF...... or a fetus inside the uterus of someone killed by NATO or the US Military, CIA. Ever see those pictures of babies shot inside the womb? gruesome. Of course, they have to be almost full term when they are killed to recognize them.
Anyway, back to the lies by Norway's government officials - the good people of Norway are not going to let this go unpunished, I predict.
