Taliban shoots up school in Pakistan-over 100 children killed

At least 126 people were killed and 122 injured. More than 100 of the dead were school children. The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the assault. They even set a teacher on fire with gas and made the kids watch.

Obama says terrorism is on the decline.
What is his master plan now?

Oh, yeah, gut the military.

As long we don't ever make these guys uncomfortable.
They have rights, too....say some.

Maybe we can get the Lefties in Congress, to get together, and go over there and round up the 'bad guys', oops, I hope I didn't hurt their feelings by calling them 'bad guys'. Anyway, maybe they can round them up and explain to them the error of their ways. Then they can all go out for ice cream. The Left, and SOME, on the right, are too stupid to realize just what kind of people we are dealing with. Then they try to make us feel guilty, by saying that we caused this by 'torturing' a few terrorist.

How could anyone ever think that we could negotiate, or even reason with animals like this.

Other then the idiot Obama, of course.


These people you find and kill.
Or torture the crap of them if for nothing more than practice.
You never consider them to be human.

Evidently the Dems, and at least 1 Republican. Oh, and a few on this board that obviously wear rose colored glasses.

Just another example of how brutal and heartless this enemy truly is. I don't know what other evidence anyone needs unless they're simply brain-dead.
Unfortunately by now they're so scattered and with the following they've attracted, it's hard to imagine ever defeating them entirely.

I think you may be on to something. These are the same people that are ok with taking out someone with a drone strike, even though we might kill a few women and children, but, Heaven forbid, we should deprive someone of sleep, or pour water on them in a way to make them 'uncomfortable'.

I heard today that this attack was retaliation for Obama drone strikes killing their women and children.

Funny how that works. Obama is OK with mass murder, causing this mass murder, but draws the line at getting someone's hair wet.

I wonder how many on the right think that arming the teachers is the answer to ending school shootings in Pakistan?

While we are Obama bashing, I would like to bring our thoughts back to September 20, 2001. On that day, our President said the following things in a joint session of Congress:
Quote:
The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself.

The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends. It is not our many Arab friends. Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists and every government that supports them.
....
From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.
When we were tracking bin Laden and his followers through Afghanistan, Brit Hume announced on television that it was ludicrous to believe that they had traveled anywhere but to Pakistan.

Years later, when Bill O'Reilly interviewed Presidential nominee, Barak Obama, he asked if the future President was aware that Osama bin Laden was holed up in Islamabad. After the typical O'Reilly badgering, Barak Obama admitted such knowledge.

Yes, we can blame President Clinton for not doing enough before 9/11 and we can blame President Obama for not doing enough since 2009, but it seems to me that if Brit Hume, Bill O'Reilly, and Barak Obama knew that Osama bin Laden and his forces were being harbored by the Pakistani government, at least somebody in Washington should have also been aware (bin Aware?). It is not just Congress that does nothing. It is not just Democrats.

The full text of Obama's response:

Quote:
The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s horrific attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar, Pakistan. Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims, their families, and loved ones. By targeting students and teachers in this heinous attack, terrorists have once again shown their depravity. We stand with the people of Pakistan, and reiterate the commitment of the United States to support the Government of Pakistan in its efforts to combat terrorism and extremism and to promote peace and stability in the region.
What's wrong with this picture?

Judging by the president's statement, one would assume that the alleged perpetrators are unknown. Let's not offend anyone by an assumption of guilt on the part of person or persons presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Don't know who it could be. We have decimated all the bad guys over there, and all that is left is the Jay Vees.

I thought Bush had killed every Islamic terrorist in the world based on information he got from torturing the prisoners at Guantanamo. Is that what Cheney said last week? Some more must have come in via an UFO.
