USARonin,

I don't think Obama said he wanted to attack Pakistan. I think he said that he would be willing to attack targets within Pakistan--as was done here. If you have forgotten his reason, would it be possible that you might have also become confused about what he was reasoning for?

SuperLib, why not just abvocate running a police line straight across Pakistan, line up every single man, woman or child who claim or even don't claim alliance with the Taliban and just kill them all. I think that would make you happy. < :-)

SuperLib,

It seems that humor is out of favor, so let me be blunt. The article indicates that the school was "founded by" a Taliban commander, not that it was "run by" him.

Nonsense. "American" is a nationality, not an ideology.

Save it for al-Quaida operatives. It was their perspective I was talking about, not mine.

There is holy book that commands Americans to act together,

(I will insert "no" for you. )But their is a Holy man. And when he speaks, Islamic nations get invaded. Again, this is the al-Quaida perspective. Your perspective is of the same mold. Opposite, but same line of reasoning. (I should not justify it by calling it reasoning though)

and I can´t become American by converting.

I always suspected that naturalization was a lie.

They are both sunni jihadist organizations and follow the same ideology. And yes, like the Borg, they act as collective and don´t really need much centralized control.

Both Sunni? So what. The Vatican and the IRA are both Catholic. Jihadist? So what? Kicking the Soviets out of Afghanistan was also a Jihadist act. Same ideology? That is where you really showed your ignorance. About all I can give with that is that the Taliban might go that way thanks to folks like yourself. The Taliban, unlike yourself, wanted proof that bin Laden was behind the 9/11 attacks. They offered to turn him over if proof was given, and several times. The U.S. refused to negotiate. Instead, the U.S. showed the Taliban no respect at all and just pummeled them around Afghanistan.

I have no love for the Taliban, certainly. But they were focused internally with no special interest in the U.S. or anything outside of Afghanistan. One can hope that if they boot us from Afghan, they will still keep the focus internal, like they did after booting the Soviets. But they did not have al-Quaida back then.

The moral of the story is that you cannot kill them all. And if you keep beating them they will just get angrier and angrier. People like yourself seem to think you beat ideas out of and into people's heads. Well, you can, but they are not always the ideas you hoped to move.

This so called school has been raided many times for producing suicide bombers and according to both sides of the conflict was used in support of terroist activites, and not a school for children. This is from the UN,Pakistan, and the US.. So should we belive the people who are there or a spin machine telling us it was poor helpless woman and children?

Why not just talk like a reasonable person.

CavemanLawyer:

You really should read up on islamic teaching and history before opining more here. You are trying to look at jihadist organizations such as the Taliban and Al Quaida through Western eyes, blanking the ideology of islam out of the picture. That is like trying to understand the Soviet Union without knowing about Communism.

I agree that "we" cannot "kill them all". Neither should be try. But you are totally wrong when you claim that "they" hate "us" because of incidents such as the madarassa bombing. The command to hate and fight the infidels (us) until we all submit is at the core of their religion/ideology. By ignoring that, you make no sense.

Agreed. When Al Queda kills it's always defined as a response to one of our actions, it's never considered an act of aggression on its own. They refuse to allow themselves to believe that men like Osama kill for their own personal gain, probably because they don't want to face the reality that men like that actually exist.

Another thing they don't understand is that the Taliban consider other Afghans and Pakistanis to be infidels. They are the ones who have burned down over 70 schools and killed innocents. The US takes out one madrass and suddenly the radical left is here to tell us that regular citizens are going to run into the arms of the terrorist groups who specifically target their own children? It makes no sense at all... The Taliban and Al Queda are killing more Muslims than non-Muslims yet some people still believe they're actually fighting for Muslims.

Nippon5 - Which ones of those prior searches did they find weapons and Al-Quaeda plans? What did they find? < :-)

The last one that the Pakistan military did they arrested multiple terroist targets and found a weapon cache there according to the AP

Please your computer seems to work fine try to type it into google and find out for yourself, Im not a secretary for you..

" Another thing they don't understand is that the Taliban consider other Afghans and Pakistanis to be infidels. "

Not "infidels" but "hypocrits". For the islamic fundamantalists like the Taliban and Al-Quaida, moderate muslims are guilty of "Takfir" (hypocrisy) and can thus be killed just like we kuffars can.

And that sort of thing is tought in madarassas. Together with the practical aspect of weaponry and bomb making to help in the jihad. And that is what our media euphemistically labels a "school", invoking the image of nice little children listening to stories of Winnieh Pooh.

If you insist on compaing yourself with the scum of humanity, it's not surprising you're having a hard time fighting your corner.

Madverts:

Al Quaida is not "the scum of humanity". Al Quaida is a radical religious organization, which follows the dictates of their religion to the letter. Of course, we kuffars should defend themselves against them, but to simply dismiss them as "scum" completely misses the issue.

People who are "scum" do not happily take their own lifes for their religion. Think about that. No muslim cleric has ever confronted Al Quaida on theological ground, and no one ever will, because it is not possible.

I wasn't making a comparison of the actions of each party. I was questioning some people's beliefs as to what the motivating factors were for terrorists. Some want us to believe that terrorists don't kill on their own, they just kill as a response to something that we've done, and that if we just change our ways then they'll simply go away.
