4 Al Qeada killed in attack in Pakistan yet no bodies found?
First, we issue no statement of remorse for the un-intentional killing of civilians in the bombing attack a few days ago. Today, it is reported that there were Al Qeada killed in the attack so the 18 civilians are, I guess, justifiable collateral damage. However, when you read deeper in to this story you find:

All the officials stressed that none of the militants' bodies have been found.

"We do not have any evidence to prove that they have been killed, but we have indications that they were there and were among those bodies that were taken away," one official said, declining to elaborate.

Pentagon officials said they had no information on the reported identities of the dead and CIA spokesman Tom Crispell said the agency could not comment.

I have heard this story about a hundred times today on the radio and on the net and yet there was not one mention that this is just merely heresay from Pakistani officials. So just so you know, we killed 18 innocent people, none of them have been proven guilty of any crime.

2. The terrorist thing was an intermediate story
later on, when it is practically forgotten, it will be reported that no terrorists were killed.

3. But I heard a conservative talkinghead hack say..
.. that if a top al-qaeda terrorist was killed, then the accidental killing
of innocents was worth it.

He looked and sounded as if that were the official word of BushInc
and the entire USA.

Who the fuck do these people, our reeptile suits, think they are??!!!

Kings of the world, that's who!

I am always puking these days.

4. Proof of a connection between the Taliban and ...
... the born-agains? Maybe these guys were 'raptured' - thus, no bodies.

5. are you suprised?
I don't believe any statement that comes from the WH, CIA, FBI, Military, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, plus probably about 50 more liars that I can't think of right now

6. Dumb world
Dumber world
Dumbest world
Me brain just cant take all this abuse

When life is sold for lies
When innocents blood shed are consider acceptable
When truth is but mere illusion
It is time to question our future.

7. Well, they've lied too many times. THIS time, I want bodies and
DNA proof! Even then I'm going to be skeptical! I'm actually surprised that Saddam seems to be really Saddam! After all, he did have a bunch of doubles running around Iraq just to keep him safe!

8. All the big battles in Afghanistan are like that. Thousands killed,
but not bodies. They were pulveried by the bombs or their fellow terrorists pulled them from the battle field.

And I am serious. Look up the battles. This happens all the time.

10. So who cry for them
who will shed a tears for their passing on
This world now has cold heart
Too much dead, innocents who die has pass on
It is sad but htis world is a cold cold place
Not much care just leave me be in abubble
Safe in the bubble
Dead too far away
Yes yes
It is not my turn yet
Soon soon maybe
Sometime in the future
My bubble be gone
Then who cry for me
Who care of some innocents soul passing on
Cold cold world
Soon winter comes
