Taliban showing how hard they are

[daveinprague]

What was his premise and what was he inferring?

His premise was killing children is wrong, whoever does it.

 

[Common as Mook]

There is no spin. The atrocity is horrific, but no more horrific than other atrocities against civilians and children. Personally, I think the taliban are pretty 'hard', as they have kept British, American, and other allied troops fairly busy for the last decade, without the benefit of western resources, ie airforces, armour etc. Apparently a revenge attack for Pakistans actions in Waziristan. No spin. Just a sense of reality im afraid.

Whatever. You are a joke.

 

[Normal Rob]

Out of respect for the dead, whatever your political viewpoint, is it possible to stop this binfest?

Please.

 

[ROKERITE]

Whatever. You are a joke.

No he's not, a joke is funny. He's just disgusting like so many of his fellow lefties.

 

[Soulman]

Very sad reading. As usual we have the they are as bad as them posts.

 

[daveinprague]

What by stating the obvious ie killing children is shit whoever does it? or the fact that the military might of the west, has been fighting goat herders for the last decade without much success? Its shit...all war is shit. Invading countries that have done **** all to us is shit. Creating chaos is shit, as it creates even more shit. If you care to read what im saying its basically, its not a matter of being 'hard'...the Taliban are fecking hard m without any doubt. Its not 'hard' to launch a missile from a drone when sitting in Suffolk.

Stick to debating the merits of keeping Hyypia as manager guys. It's about as far as your combined intellects will allow for.

Not really. If you want to disparage a group in a stupid war, where both sides do stupid things, tallk about them as a whole. We knowingly use drones in the knowledge that civilians and children may be killed. Whats the difference....and yep, link is working now.

The difference you pompous fool, is 1) targeting combatants with precision weaponry that has some risk of collateral deaths when said combatants hide in civilian populated structures ..... versus ...... 2) walking into a classroom and machine gunning children..... can you see the difference now?....... or indeed walking into a cafe and killing people randomly, or a maternity ward and setting off a bomb, or a mosque, or a school bus, or a queue for bread, or or or........ hopefully you can see the difference now, pass it on to your fellow apologists will you, Czechmate and Mustafa..........cheers.

 

[daveinprague]

Yes, I understand we killed up to 100,000 civilians in Iraq with our precision weapons. What these people did was horrific. Are the Taliban hard. Yes.

'The context you are missing is, im talking about whether its hard to be a Taliban fighter, despite the atrocity of today, or 'harder' to be a drone pilot sitting in the UK, but thanks.

 

[Hillian1]

126 people are dead, mostly children in cold blood, and all Dave wants is an argument about hardness.

Pillock.

I was commenting on the thread title, but thanks Hilian1

Really?

Pillock.

 

[daveinprague]

Well, have you looked at the title? Then you may spot it.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Are they as hard as drones hitting civilians?..your link doesnt work incidentally, but im guessing its the school attack.

I honestly can't see how your brain must work for that to be your first thought on the subject.

 

[dingodan]

I in no way associate myself with daveinprague - his posts completely lack context and he is an obvious troll.

All some of us are trying to do is point out that this disgust should not be only reserved for the Taliban, and that all killing of children is wrong across the board, no matter how or why it is done or by whom.

Who would consider that to be trolling?

 

[daveinprague]

I honestly can't see how your brain must work for that to be your first thought on the subject.

The clue is in the thread title.
The point I was initially making is that the taliban are a lot harder than the 'pilot' of a drone sitting in Suffolk. To consider the Taliban, as not particularly 'hard' because
of this attack is daft.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

The clue is in the thread title.

Dave your being pedantic, and frankly it is childish point scoring on a very serious matter....

but hey ho carry on if it makes you feel self righteous you go for it.

 

[daveinprague]

Responding to people who directly question me is 'spawning' ?

Ive seen posters on NSC advocate the 'nuking' of Afghanistan, over the death of a British soldier, without any response. Save your preaching.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It's not the Taliban but that sort of thinking is prevalent amongst the Middle East & some African countries that education, especially of females, is a western abomination. Boko Haram has attacked many schools in Nigeria for the same reason, killing & kidnapping children.
