Killings in the Hindu-Kush

AmeriKan MSM sure is playing down and keeping quiet the murderous U.S. missile strike.

I'd expect nothing less from them.

"Unclaimed missile hits compound in Pakistan"

"by Zulfiqar Ali and Laura King, Los Angeles Times | May 16, 2008

PESHAWAR, Pakistan - Pakistani leaders disavowed any knowledge yesterday of a missile strike in a volatile border area where the United States previously has targeted Al Qaeda figures - the first attack of its kind since the new government took power six weeks ago.

The strike late Wednesday in the Bajur tribal region raised concerns in Pakistan that the Bush administration might be seeking to hunt down senior Al Qaeda figures while the Pakistani leadership that took office in late March seeks to negotiate a truce with militants in the tribal areas.

So much for "sovereignty," huh, readers?

Such an accord could complicate the staging of strikes inside Pakistani territory, which were previously carried out with the tacit consent of US-backed President Pervez Musharraf. Musharraf's party was defeated in February's parliamentary elections, and although he remains in office, his powers have been curtailed by his victorious opponents, who have expressed qualms about such actions on Pakistani soil.

American military officials in Afghanistan said they had no information on the strike against a compound in Damadola village, a known militant stronghold close to the Afghanistan border. The wrecked compound lies close to the site of an attack in 2006 that was aimed at Al Qaeda's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahri, who escaped that strike.

Local residents said that just before this week's attack, they saw and heard what they believed was a pilotless aircraft. American strikes against militants sheltering in Pakistan's tribal areas are often carried out using unmanned drones armed with missiles.

A Pakistani government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter, said it was believed that a mid-level Al Qaeda official might have been killed in the strike. Local officials said at least seven people died; some reports put the toll at 18, including civilians."

Yup, INNOCENTS WASTED by our GOD-FORSAKEN PILOTLESS PREDATOR MISSILES!!!!

That's why you are getting the "FUCK YOU, " a-hole AmeriKans!!!


"Pakistan Defies U.S. on Halting Afghanistan Raids"

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Pakistani officials are making it increasingly clear that they have no interest in stopping cross-border attacks by militants into Afghanistan, prompting a new level of frustration from Americans who see the infiltration as a crucial strategic priority in the war in Afghanistan.

Gives us a reason to INVADE PAKISTAN, too, doesn't it?

Did you just feel that breeze, readers?

On Wednesday night, the United States fired its fourth Predator missile strike since January.... In an unusual step during a visit to Pakistan in March, Adm. Eric T. Olson, the commander of United States Special Operations Command, held a round-table discussion with a group of civilian Pakistani leaders to sound them out on the possibility of cross-border raids by American forces. He was told in no uncertain terms that from the Pakistani point of view it was a bad idea, said one of the participants....

Yeah, I'm tired of DEATH and DESTRUCTION based upon LIES!!!!!

American officials in Washington said the Predator strike on Wednesday killed a handful of Qaeda militants, including one they described as a “significant leader.” The strike indicated that the C.I.A. retained some freedom to operate in the tribal areas.

Translation: The U.S. doesn't respect ANY BOUNDARIES or ANY LAW!!!!

But as the gap between Pakistani and American policies widens, United States officials are pushing harder for still more latitude....

MURDERERS!!!! Please read intro to this post.

The civilian leaders said they advised the Americans against fighting in Pakistani territory populated by Pashtuns. Pakistan’s government has long been wary of nationalist and separatist strains among the Pashtuns, whose population straddles the Pakistani-Afghan border.

“I said it would be extremely dangerous,” Khalid Aziz, a former chief secretary of North-West Frontier Province, said he told Admiral Olson. “It would increase the number of militants, it would be a war of liberation for the Pashtuns. They would say: ‘We are being slaughtered. Our enemy is the United States.’ ”

.... Earlier this month, Afrasiab Khattak and Asfandyar Wali Khan, the leaders of the Awami National Party, which leads the government in the North-West Frontier Province, met with Stephen J. Hadley, the national security adviser, and Mr. Negroponte in Washington.

In their meetings, Mr. Khattak said, it was hard to deter the Americans from the notion of launching their own operations into Pakistan. The topic came up “again and again,” he said.

To those who believe something big isn't going to take place soon and there will be no draft.....

PFFFFFFFTTTT!!

ALARM BELLS, ALARM BELLS!!!!!

The Americans specifically mentioned their concern that Qaeda operatives in the tribal areas were preparing an attack on the United States, he said....

FUCK YOU and your BULLSHIT WARNINGS about FALSE FLAGS, you shit-spewing shit-fucks!!!

Mr. Ghani suggested that the NATO troops use “daisy cutter bombs when they go over to Afghanistan.”

.... The Pakistani Army... has been a liability against the more limber militants. Under such conditions, Mr. Aziz said, the army had been reduced to a mass of “demoralized, quivering flesh.” They had taken a “bad beating,” and were just waiting to leave....

In a sign of how favorably the militants look upon the accord, a spokesman for Mr. Mehsud in Damadola, the town where on Wednesday the Predator drone killed 18 people, said Thursday that the deal should go ahead despite the attack....

Yup, sure keeping that air raid quiet.

And how about the "unreasonable terrorist" forgiving, huh?

Sick of ZIONIST-CONTROLLED LIES, especially coming from asshole Bush!!!

Here is MORE U.S.-SPONSORED MURDER for you!

"U.N. Official Raises Alarms Over Killings in Afghanistan"

by Carlotta Gall

KABUL, Afghanistan — A special investigator for the United Nations on Thursday accused foreign intelligence agencies of conducting nighttime raids and killing civilians in Afghanistan with impunity.

Gee, WHO COULD THAT BE?

The investigator, Philip Alston, would not specify the nationalities of the intelligence agencies. But the descriptions he gave of units operating out of two American bases in southern and eastern Afghanistan suggested that he was accusing the Central Intelligence Agency or American unconventional-warfare units of operating without accountability to the Afghan government or the foreign military command in the country. Afghan forces working with foreign units were not under the control of the Afghan government, he said.

I just want to know when the pride takes over, Amurkns, because I am really feeling sick about the MASS SLAUGHTER of INNOCENT PEOPLE!!

Fuck ASSHOLE and his fucking "LIBERATIONS!!!!!!!!!"

American officials in Afghanistan declined to comment on Mr. Alston’s accusations.

Mr. Alston, who directs a center for human rights and global justice at New York University's Law School, spoke at a news conference after a 12-day visit to Afghanistan as the United Nations special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. He reports to the United Nations Human Rights Council.

On Thursday, a suicide bomber killed 14 people and wounded 25, among them police officers and civilians, in an explosion in a town in southwestern Afghanistan. The target appeared to be a convoy of police vehicles, said the provincial governor, Rohul Aman.

I don't report "suiciders" or other such nonsense, readers, because I NO LONGER BELIEVE ZIONIST PROPAGANDA!!!

School never talk be about FALSE-FLAGS and "Al-CIA-Duh," nor did they teach me about LYING "news" MEDIA!!

NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Mr. Alston said he had concluded that civilian casualties in Afghanistan were intolerably high, and often could be avoided. The lack of accountability, and the complacency at so many killings by the police and international forces, was staggering, he said.

And CRIMINALLY HEARTBREAKING as far as this blog is concerned!!!

His comments seemed at odds with claims by NATO that civilian casualties had been greatly reduced in recent months.

Noooooooo! You're kidding?

International military forces have killed as many as 200 civilians in the first four months of this year, often in aerial bombings, but also in joint operations with Afghan security forces, he said. The Taliban have killed 300 civilians in the same period, he said. The Taliban may be attacking military targets, but 95 percent, probably more, of their victims were civilians, he said, citing figures compiled by the United Nations’ Afghan mission.

Whatever! I made my point above about this shit!

Mr. Alston said he regretted that the government had given him a clear message not to approach the Taliban.

It's called CENSORSHIP!

He said it would be useful to talk to the insurgents and make the case for them to avoid civilian casualties. “The Taliban exist, they are engaged in widespread killings; we have an obligation not to stand on formalities, but to seek to diminish civilian casualties and killings,” he said.

Oh, I agree. It is ALWAYS MORE USEFUL to TALK than to KILL!!!!

But he reserved his strongest criticism for the two American-run military bases, one known as Camp Ghecko, on the outskirts of Kandahar, and one in the eastern province of Nangarhar. “It is absolutely unacceptable for heavily armed internationals accompanied by heavily armed Afghan forces to be wandering around conducting dangerous raids that too often result in killings without anyone taking responsibility for them,” he said in his report.

Hey, that's the USraeli, I mean, AmeriKan, I mean, NAZI WAY, isn't it?
