'Revenge' bombings in Pakistan kill 80
Friday, May 13,`11 — Twin suicide bombings outside a paramilitary training center in Pakistan’s northwest killed least 80 people early Friday, in what appeared to be militants’ first major retaliatory attack since the death of Osama bin Laden.
The massive explosions targeted new recruits for Pakistan’s Frontier Constabulary in Charsadda district, about an hour’s drive from the capital, Islamabad. The recruits had just finished morning prayers and were boarding buses that would take them on home leave, said Jehanzeb Khan, a senior police officer in Charsadda. The Pakistani Taliban, a homegrown offshoot of the Afghan militant group, said it had carried out the attack to avenge bin Laden’s killing by U.S. commandos, according to news services.

Pakistanis already have condemned the U.S. raid as an embarrassing violation of territorial sovereignty, and the death of scores of Pakistanis in an apparent attempt at retaliation could result in even more anti-U.S. sentiment here. “This was the first revenge for Osama’s martyrdom. Wait for bigger attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan,” Ehsanullah Ehsan, a spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, said by telephone, according to Agence France-Presse.

A different Taliban official, however, speaking anonymously to The Washington Post, disputed his organization’s statement. The official said the attack was intended to punish the Pakistani military for a recent offensive in the Mohmand region of Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal belt, where the Taliban, al-Qaeda and a potpourri of other militant organizations are based. Charsadda borders the the Mohmand region. The two claims could not be immediately reconciled; it is possible that the attack was a response to both the Mohmand offensive and bin Laden’s death.

'Game back on' for US drone hits after OBL death, says analyst
May 13, 2011 -- Four suspected U.S. drone strikes have pounded Pakistan's tribal region since the American military killed terror leader Osama bin Laden, actions that signal an uptick in the U.S. fight against Islamic militants.
The latest was Friday, when four suspected militants died in the Datta Khel region of North Waziristan, according to two Pakistani intelligence officials, who said an unmanned aircraft fired four missiles at a militant's vehicle. Drone strikes have been controversial in Pakistan because of concerns over civilian deaths and disrespect for Pakistan's sovereignty. "I don't think the U.S. cares about the Pakistani sensibilities," said Bill Roggio, a military-affairs analyst. "I think it's game back on."

North Waziristan is one of the seven districts of Pakistan's volatile tribal region bordering Afghanistan, and Datta Khel has a strong presence of militants, Roggio said. Based on a count by the CNN Islamabad bureau, Friday's suspected drone strike was the 24th so far this year compared to 111 in all of 2010. The Long War Journal, a website that provides analyses and reporting on war-related matters, said the U.S. military launched only two strikes in April and seven in March, in both North Waziristan and South Waziristan.

Roggio, the managing editor of The Long War Journal, told CNN that there have been drone-strike pauses during spring months in the past, but he said the latest lull came during problems between the United States and Pakistan. He cited the disagreements over the case of Raymond Davis, the CIA contractor who had been incarcerated and later released after allegedly shooting and killing two Pakistanis, and Pakistani rage about a couple of the drone strikes. But Roggio said he believes the dynamics have changed after bin Laden was killed May 2 in a hideout in the Pakistani military garrison town of Abbottabad.

What did we expect a thank you note. I saw that really big crowd and the first thing that came to mind was napalm. I am sick of these cowards in mask talking some small minded person into blowing them self up and a bunch of innocent people with them.
 
You know........Reuters just leaked that the SEALs found a whole stash of porno videos in Bin Laden's compound!

Personally? I think the WH should release the titles and content of the porn stash. Then let them jihadist extremist assholes try to cover that!

By the way, I already started a thread about Bin Laden's porn.
 
This can't be, they're all peaceful folks.. remember?

I really like the Napalm idea.

Check FOX News, as well as all the other news sites Sunnidiot.

A stash of pornography was found in the Pakistani compound of Usama bin Laden raided last week by Navy SEALs, U.S. officials told Fox News.

The pornography taken from the compound, first reported by Reuters, is said to have included modern, electronically recorded video and is described as fairly extensive. But pfficials told Reuters they did not know if the terror leader acquired the porn himself or even viewed it.

Bin Laden's Abbottabad compound did not have Internet connection or other hard-wired communication networks. But the compound was equipped with televisions after the U.S. government released videos taken from the raid showing the Al Qaeda leader watching himself on TV

I posted it from a FOX news site so that even the right wing retards would get it.
 
First they said there was a 40 min. fire fight

Then they said there was no fire fight.

Next Osama had a weapon.

Then he had no weapon.

Then it was he hid behind a woman.

Scratch that: he didn't hid behind a woman.

And on and on and on.........

So why should we believe this latest story?? :doubt:

Hey stupid.......ever hear of a little thing called "the fog of war"? How about the fact that we were getting real time data that hadn't even been sorted out? People were hearing what others said and the media couldn't wait until all the facts were put together.

Fuck......you are one stupid man.
 
Fog is one thing.

But they acted like they were in a 200 mph total white out blizzard at night. :cuckoo: :lol:

Hey stupid.......did you forget the fact that they were halfway around the world, in some of the most primitive territory on the planet?
With the most sophisticated equipment and weapons on the planet. :cool:

The info they were receiving via the montiors was the raw information. The SEALs needed to get back to an American base and get debriefed.

The debriefing should have taken about 20 seconds.

"Landed the helicopters in the guys front yard.

Went thru the front door unopposed.

Saw him standing in his bedroom with no weapon

And shot him in the head".

They were going into what they believed was a 100% hostile environment, nor friendlies at all, if you've truly been in combat then you know the drill. Why are you Monday morning quarterbacking everything they did?
