That the Petitioner files this Petition at the honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan under the High Treason (Punishment) Act 1973 against the Respondent, in the best interest of Pakistan's sovereignty and for promoting patriotism among Pakistanis by ridiculing anti-Pakistan sentiments as well as exposing conspiracies to destabilize Pakistan;

    Comment: the real problem lies with you leo delaney go strap on your vest of explosives and forget walking into a market walk into your own home and make sure your family are all present and accounted for and kill them all,as your already sympathetic towards their cause you *** i n g moron,and as for that military that is such a thing of the past they make it so you can live in comfort and come and go from your home with out the fear of being blown up by one of your buddies with a vest just like yopurs

    Comment: the real problem lies with the fact that these insurgents know we have to be concerned with civilian casualties, or they complain that we are killing the innocent victims that they hide behind,the way i see it war means innocent people are going to die, unfortunately thats the bad part of war. but are we going to forget when osama and all of his coward scuslim jihadist's [oops i mean muslim] decided to start this war it was innocent lives they took not the lives of military personnel or corrupted officials,so all in all we should be dropping bombs on those tribal areas and not worry about the unfortunate few who know that they are in fact in the company of men and women who routinely promote violence and choose to simply not walk away. in the united states and everywhere else in the civil world which leodelaney and the rest of his jihadist buddies do not live in,a man is guilty of a crime if he is simply in the same crowd with someone who is commiting a crime,so leodelaney while you are in the act of commiting treason which is still punishable by being hanged by the neck till you are dead,you are obviously on american soil that is protected by that very military you despise,if you spoke up in one of those other mid east countries that your so in love with there government would hunt you down and kill you and your whole family for that dis-loyal propaganda you speak. so i say you should run on over to pakistan or iraq or where ever you want and strap up your dynamite vest and run into some store or market place and blow yourself and say fifteen or twenty of your family members to smithereens.people like you who only criticize and not support what the men and women of the greatest military on the face of this planet do for you should move to the middle east where you will be safe and in the company of your own kind.or maybe america can be protected by your internet security program yeah that might protect our planes from flying into big buildings and killing innocent people from dying by the thousands f u c k y o u

    Comment: If there were three people outside today, a native to this area, an eskimo, and a person who lives in the tropics they would each have a different truth. To the first it would be It sure is cold. To the eskimo, it's not so bad at all and to the tropical inhabitant "It is purely FREEZING" Truth is relevant to where you are and who you are. I saw this bumper sticker "When the power of love conquers the love of power, then we may have world peace. A Pakistani youngster growing up would surely have a different truth than an American youth. We need to have wisdom and the name calling and surety of "rightness" by the commentators shows how truths grow to violence all over the World. A soldier from the United States has a different truth than a woman trying to teach in a Taliban society or an older person trying to eek out a living in Kenya. We have rights and privileges but Americans are often confused to what the difference or similarity is. We are spoiled and want our oil at any cost. God forbid I can't drive my SUV. Our legislators only react to what they feel we want to hear so we need to be verbal about what is important to us but for crying out loud show some sense.

    Comment: It is far more likely that the CIA rather than Baitullah Mehsud killed Bhutto because she was getting too close to the major storge place of Saddam Hussein's colllection of WMD's and that had to be prevented. After all, it was this same CIA and its wonderful investigative abilities that assured us that Saddam had all these WMD's and in the words of Colin Powell, living lapdog, "We know eactly where they are." This is still as true as ever and they had to silence Bhutto before she got too close. That fantasy makes just as much sense as saying Baitullah Mehsud, who, in his fight with Musharref, had nothing to gain from her death, was responsible for the killing. And to a tryranical, murderous dictator like Musharraf who had much to gain from her death as the major political threat to his regime was removed, her loss was merely a collatteral benefit. Ain't it great to have a guy like Osama bin Laden or Baitullah Mehsud that you can blame for everything that happens in the world from nuclear war to jaywalking and there is no way anyone can ever prove he didn't do it. There are dozens of groups, including the American CIA, who would have benefited from Bhutto's death, but we have arbitrarily decided and in the total absence of any evidence that it was Baitullah Mehsud. At any rate all the stockpiles of WMD are still safe and secure. And the American public can still not their head in ovine acknowledgement that the politically created bad guys have accomplished something evil once again.

      It's obvious whats going on in the world today is a basic good vs evil......and you have allowed drugs to fry your brain to the point of making the good the evil.

      If I were you, and I really felt the way you say you do in your post, I'd move to another country. I feel certain Osama would like having you stay at his house.

      Perhaps if you actually lived in one of these Islamic countries that you proclaim as the good guys, you might be able to see the truth. But your opinions coming from your fat azz sitting in your recliner really don't count for chit!

    Comment: Time has finally come for Pakistan???s disintegration as the judicial downfall in the country has exposed the reality of Pakistan???s artificial existence through funding by American intelligence agencies in order to keep physical control of the region to fulfil their own evil designs. It was due to this reason that democracy in Pakistan has always miserably failed. Under such circumstances, it is important to note that Pakistan???s military dictatorship which is basically Punjab???s military dictatorship is not ready to leave power or organize free and fair elections. It is to be understood that Punjab???s military dictatorship shall not allow genuine democratic forces to takeover the country and thus are engaged in activities of Fascism in order to make sure that their rule remains intact indefinitely. This is certain that military dictatorship is not ready or willing to give up. Of course they would never agree to allow the democratic forces of the country to become rulers of Pakistan. It is nothing but a dream to think about restoration of genuine democracy in Pakistan.
    It is necessary that political leaders of NWFP, Balochistan, Sindh and Karachi should get up and decide disintegration of Pakistan under the supervision of the United Nations. In my opinion, following new countries should be formed immediately:
    REPUBLIC OF PAKHTOONISTAN
    REPUBLIC OF BALOCHISTAN
    PEOPLES??? REPUBLIC OF SINDHUDESH
    REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR
    All Nationalist leaders should lead this program and facilitate formation of a pressure group called MOVEMENT TO DIVIDE PAKISTAN (MDP). The pressure group should meet the Secretary General of the United Nations and most influential American senators along with members of the European Union Parliament. The basic objective of this pressure group should be to ensure that Pakistan is divided peacefully under the supervision of the United Nations and EU so as to provide freedom to the people living in NWFP, Balochistan, Sindh and Karachi. Freedom from Punjab???s brutal military dictatorship will allow these new countries to prosper and provide best standard of living to their people.

      Comment: Mir Jamaluddin
      I love Pakistan. People of NWFP, Karachi, Sindh, Balochistan and Punjab have great love for Pakistan. It is not a Punjabi who was in power when Mr. Liaqat Ali Khan was killed. Mr. Jamaluddin, It was Mr. Ziaul Haq +(A mohajir) who killed Zulifqar Ali Bhutto. It is not a Punjabi i.e. Mir.Musharraf (also a mohajir) during which government Benazir Bhutto has been killed. Against it is not punjabi. Although I onlly believe in a united Pakistani nation but only for your kind information I mentioned above. I believe that Pakistan was came into being for long life till the day of judgement inshallah and the enemy of Pakistan will not success to break it. May God help us to get out of recent crises created by our enemies. May God help us to distinguish our real enemy and May God help us to stop blaming each other.

    Once these new countries are formed, they can form a coalition to put pressure on Punjabistan in order to destroy Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). It would be very essential to dismantle nuclear weapons of Punjabistan as soon as possible so as to keep the balance of power in the region very stable. Republic of Balochistan and Peoples??? Republic of Sindhudesh should then allow USA to install their proper army bases on their lands and allow American army to keep their ground forces in the region for a longer period until Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) belonging to Punjabistan are fully destroyed. This will also eliminate terrorism network which is being nourished under the safe umbrella of Punjab???s military dictatorship and its evil organization called Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

    Comment: Rolandas Tucas
    The United Nation's refugee agency has urged Papua New Guinea to resettle 100 refugees from the Indonesian province of Papua, now living in the country. Police in the capital, Port Moresby, have threatened to evict over 100 refugees, who have been living at the Boroko police station since October. They were moved to the police station because of fears of retaliation after two of the refugees allegedly killed a senior magistrate.

    The UN High Commissioner for Refugees spokeswoman in Australia says the PNG government should take responsibility in resettling them.

    ''We appreciate the temporary accommodation provided by the police," she says

    "But we also recognise that this is not a long term solution. And we urge the government of Papua New Guinea to find a clear solution and we stand ready to assist.".

    PNG hosts a total of nearly 3,000 refugees from Papua.

    Comment: Gen Musharraf's hands are tainted with Benazir's blood. When Mush was attacked in Rawalpindi, the bridge a part of which was also blown, was closed to traffic for more than 4 days. The whole area was cordoned off for forensic evidence gathering. Similarly when there was bomb explosion opposite US consulate in Karachi, trhe whole area was secured and closed for over 40 days. On 27 Dec when Benazir was assasinated the Govt Interior Ministry spokesman changed the version thrice within 24 hours. The area where Benazir was assasinated alongwith 20 other persons was washed off all traces of forensic evidence within hours of the occurence. The junta has sophisticated gadget to track and eavesdrop all its moderate political elements, who are being harrased and put behind bars, while terrorists and extremists are free to kill. The brutal cycle of violence has crippled civil society. Musharraf is responsible, since he has throttled political activity and democratic institutions during his 8 years of misrule. He has no tolerance for dissent and ordered the brutal killing of a 80 year Baloch tribal sardar Akbar Bughti, who was always a pro establishment men, having served as Governor baluchistan and Defence minister of Pakistan. Violence breeds violence and Pakistan suffers because of the arrogance of a tinpot dictator.

    Comment: Since it's the U.S. who built Al-Queda, as well as keeping the dictator in power in Pakistan, it's likely they're behind the assasination too. Keep in mind that the extremely wealthy people profiting from all of this controlled "chaos" are not the people in harm's way, they can sacrifice any number of "lesser" lives like ours to keep up the fake war going because it makes them a little wealthier every day. Why would the U.S. government want democracy for Pakistan when they don't even have democracy in the U.S.?

  • Posted By: Joybuzzard @ 01/08/2008 12:54:59 PM

    Comment: The U.S. built Al-Queda and continues keeping the dictator in power in Pakistan, no doubt they're behind the assasination. Keep in mind, the people with the big money who profit from all of this carefully controlled "chaos" are not the ones in danger, it's not them and their children getting bombed, human life means nothing to them and it's worth any number of "lesser" lives to keep this very profitable conflict going.

    Comment: I do not get it! Musharaf is playing the both sides; he is responsible for all the violence in Pakistan including the assassination of Binazir Bhutto.
    Most of corrupt regimes are custom of violating their own people, and ask the west for financial help in the name of ???counter terrorism". I strongly believe those leaders with no exception are the real terrorist. US should review its relations with them. Perhaps the best counter terrorism, is assisting people to exercise free elections around the world, and not helping dictators.

    Comment: The U.S. was behind this assassination. It wants to force Pakistan into the so-called war against Muslim extremists. The only way it can do that is to turn the people against Musharraf. Bhutto was a U.S. puppet whose strings were cut. It is all part of a larger plan for the U.S. to take over the world and implement its New World Order, with itself at the head of course. Now I hear that the U.S, is once again meddling in Iranian waters trying to provoke another war. FOLKS WAKE UP!

Waiting only allows our advisaries to get stronger and prehaps a few nukes. So, if we do it now less people will die and prehaps no nukes will get involved. Let's get fighting and end this mess while we got a good chance of managing it, and comming out a winner.

  • Posted By: Abdullah the Butcher @ 01/07/2008 1:59:59 PM

    Comment: i echo rangerone's comments. The threat from the middle east is the nuke abled, politically unstable Pakistan. Why worry that the government would have to be overthrown. Musharef's policies suggest he's not our ally and he's up to the highest bidder. They've got their hooks in already. Proactivity and common sense would prevail if only applied by someone or a government with power and cahones. We've got both, but the lame duck situation in the White House makes this upcoming election a cross road like this country has never faced. The threat is real, no cost is too high to insure our freedoms and democracy. We have to stop waivering on every issue, fight a war against a ruthless enemy the way they fight us and throw conventional wisdom out the window. Clinton could have taken care of Bin Laden years ago but was too weary of collateral damage to our Saudi "friends". They aren't our friends, they too can be bought and have been time and time again. Sack up America, the time is now.

      Comment: Abdullah. It is way too late for any violence by the West to suceed. The Islamic Republic is the wave of the future and Iran, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Malaysia and many African nations will soon all be Islamic Republics. And they will be united in their hatred of us because we, in our blindness could not see them coming, and did everything in our power to overthrow their governments, murder their people, destroy their cities and force our perverted brand of "Democracy" upon them. When we should have been seking some form of accomodation and cooperation with them we wasted billions trying to destroy them, a task that never could and never will be possible. And we still waste trillions in futile military adventurism, deluding ourselves that our military power will prevail when it fact it is all but worthless against their coming. Ah well, so many other great nations have fallen freom the same blunders as we are now making in our strategy for dealing with Islamic Republics that it will come as no surprise when we go the same way.

    Comment: I really see no good outcome to Pakistan... Iran and Iraq are small fry compared to Afghanistan and Pakistan, which has 30-40 nukes. The terrorists in mountains may not be sophisticated or "be able to operate a laptop", but that doesn' t mean they won't be able to do something with Pakistani nukes... all they have to be able to do is get in a position to give the orders to someone who does know how.

    Musharraf has a limited shelf life, if he gets overthrown by the Taliban, what will the US do? Pakistan has a population of 162 million compared to Iraq's less than 29 million, and we have our hands full with Iraq. I know what I 'm going to do... the house I will buy next year will have a basement, which I will convert into a fallout shelter...

    Thank goodness Democrats in congress raised enough of a stink to get this man released from Guantanamo. Otherwise he might not be able to help Al Qaeda carry out terrorist attacks. What a shame it would be if he were still in prison.....right? I think we should release them all, perhaps let them stay in some of these congressmen's homes.

    Where've you been? Bush and Co. just released a slew of Saudis that were being held at Gitmo. Of course the Saudis promised that these guys did nothing wrong and would be watched closely.

      One day you may realize....that our politicians, both sides, are living the lifestyle of the rich and famous on our tax dollar, keeping us divided between donkeys and elephants so we won't notice that they are stealing us blind!

    Comment: I totally disagree with the involment of Baitullah Mehsud in any suicide attack why?
    How Taliban who were less educated and living in remote areas' attacked in city like Islam Abad and other citties
    Only those who were living in the cities may exercised such attacks
    A man who is totally illetrate and living in remote area how he access to such a crucial area where they exercised the attacks

    All Taliban have beared but in the assassination we observed a very smart and clean shaved personel

    The world is unaware that these types of attacks are only exercised by the top intelilegence personal only

    These tacts are known by the intelgence agencies and how an uneducated commander can plan

    Baitullah Mehsud is just a drama and he and his man have no capability to do the like attacks

    If they can then the Musharaf and other Govt personal will be no more alive

    Only those were targetted by the current regime who have different openion of the Govt.

    Why after a few minutes the govt official wash and clean the spots

    why the doctor presurised to change their statement

    why the Govt after vanishing the all possible septoms invite SYP

    These are dramas and Musharaf already determined to remove the Banazir Bhutoo from the seen

    And resposible for the attacks

    Comment: The simple fact that leodelaney cannot find any differences between Bush and the US military versus radical Islamist terrorists just shows the depth of his ignorance. I, and most other level-headed people, have never wished to "[killi] everyone in sight on the other side." Rather, instead of killing women, children and anyone who does not agree with us--such as the murderous tatics that these tribesmen use--we want only to kill the radical Islamist militants who are set on killing everyone else who disagrees with them. In short, there is no comparison. And anyone who says that there is must have another agenda or affliction...such as "Bush Derangement Syndrome."

      Comment: JL Hunter - Dead is dead and it doesn't matter who killed you, nor does it matter who's side God is on. We as the noble protectors of human rights have now adopted a tactic of dropping 500 pound bombs on neighborhoods where we believe those who oppose us are staying. Never mind that there are innocent men, women and children there by the thousands; we give them warning and if they don't leave their homes and run, then its their fault they're dead. How in God's name is that any less a terrorist tactic than a fanatic with a bomb blowing himself up and a bunch of innocent people in the process? It is exactly the same, and anyone who fools himself into believing differently is merely being delusional. I wish I had your ability to think that because the only people I want to kill is "radical Islamis militants" that I am absolved from all the other deaths. I remember the words of another leader who washed his hands of the "blood of this man". Death by militant bomb is murder; death by air dropped bomb is murder, death by militant rifle is murder, death by military rifle is murder and in murder there is no difference and no salvation by hypocritical statements about "but we only want..." The war in Iraq is immoral, unnecessary, wanton, evil and was on the day the decision was made to embark on it. Everything that flows from an immoral and evil act is itself immoral and evil and their is no honor of any kind to be found in this war. No honor in serving there on either side, no honor in being maimed there, no honor in dying there and no honor to any nation which participates in the farce. And you are absolutely right; I find no difference in Bush and the US Military and those radical Islamist who are fighting for their faith, to free their nation from an invader and to damage a nation they have been trained to hate. Remember when you piously call for the death of all Muslims that they are not a real threat to us, like Japan or Nazi Germany or the USSR, but merely a politically expedient enemy for our leaders to exploit to spread hatred and fear, yet we overthrow their governments, kill their citizens, destroy their cities and mock their religion and sit back and wonder why the get testy.

    Comment: If Musharraf wanted to, he could obliterate the mountain-dwelling Talibani outlaws in a matter of weeks. So could the USA, for that matter. Why the Taliban, and Al Qaeda, are allowed to exist only to butcher and menace peace-loving peoples at home (200 executions of tribal leaders who opposed them!) and around the world baffles us civilized individuals. It's time to obliterate the barbarians who refuse to do right or get educated, just erase them from the planet... because tolerating them, and negotiating with them, has only enabled them to scare, maim and kill more innocents. Enough is enough!

    Comment: Have the intelligence agencies gone crazy? When was it a rule to start a a highly dangerous secret investigation by exposing every single word of its progress in investigation to media?
    It is highly improbable that the things meant to be kept in Fort Knox are being made public just for nothing. Intelligence outfits having unlimited resources, cannot be so helpless that they openly accept defeat at the hands of uneducated nomads fighting the world super-powers with handmade tools just above clubs and daggers.
    Can anybody believe that we can detect a would be hostile to earth lifeless celestial object loitering billions of miles away in space, investigate its dangers even by picking its grains and develop ways and means for safety, could be so helpless at the hands of a few man-faced animals hiding right in our own laps? It is beyond comprehension. Either the stories of space conquer are fake, or the hoax of terror, as it is made known to us to believe.

      Comment: Perhaps it became a rule after the New York Times was allowed to publish classified information on their front page. You might not know, but we had Osama's satelite phone link in the begining......until the NYT's published that information on their front page and he stopped using it. We were able to monitor our enemies conversations, up until the NYT's printed that on their front page so our enemy could change their communications. We were also able to track their funds, until again, the NYT's informed them we were doing so.

      You want to blame our intellignece agencies for not being effective.......while our media and our Democrats in congress do everything in their power to keep our enemy informed of not only what we are doing, but how we are doing it.

      Of course, all these actions are justified.....because they are all done with the motive of destroying the evil Bush.

      So before you start attacking our troops or our intelligence agencies, you might try pulling your head out of that donkey's butt and take a look around at what's been happening!

    Seriously, if you only had the text and no audio.......you couldn't tell if it was something Pelosi, Reed, Zawahiri, or Bin Laden was saying.

    I've watched Democrats do everything in their power to undermine the mission for 6 years now.......I really believe this whole thing could be over and done with, if it weren't for Democrats providing aid and comfort to our enemies.......and all for the sake of poltical gain.

    I've heard them stand on the steps of congress and call our troops murderers, without having the facts..........and I have yet to hear them have an unkind word to say about our enemy.

They are not evil, they just believe that we can hide our heads in the sand and ignore everything overseas. If we follow their path, the few hundred lives we lost at the World trade Center, and in operations in Iraq and Afgahnastan will be just a drop in the bucket. Isolationism has been proven to be a stupid political and diplomatic strategy, time and time, again.

    Comment: OK, I'm gonna ramble a bit, but here are some thoughts. I have been to both Afghanistan and Iraq and havent gotten all my information from CNN. As you may or may not recall, the U.S. did try to negotiate with Taliban leadership following the World Trade Center attacks, for the turnover of Osama Bin Laden. Negotiating with the fundamentalists got the US nowhere. Ultimately, the US invaded and has been attempting to track down or kill Bin Laden and Al Queda leadership since. Anyone who is a student of history in Afghanistan knows that if the Tribes arent warring against invaders;(Alexander the Great, the British; Russian and now Americans), they are at each others throats. A society like this only understands one thing. violence or the threat of violence. They will not aquiesce to negotiation. The ultimate key is to break the cycle of Madrasa's educating new recruits which continue to funnel into Afghanistan. This can only happen if the economics of that society (pakistan in this case) provide a "way out" for those that are so easily recruited. Fundamentalists are not much different than the Fascist or Nazi party of WWII. Each terrorized the local population until normal people fell in line. If the United States ceases to focus our efforts against radical fundamentalist's and provides thier leaders a respite, they will only grow stronger, will consolidate power and eventually threaten other nations beyond thier own region. One only needs to look at southern Thailand, Southern Phillippines (ASG), and the middle east to see that unless regional Governments or the US keeps these groups in check, that they will bully thier way throughout a population. Democracy isnt perfect, but it is certainly better than Muslim Fundamentalism. I doubt anyone will impeach Achmindinajad (sic),Can anyone show me a Muslim Country that comes close to what Democratic Countries have achieved in the line of Scientific Research, Medicine, Social Welfare in the last 500 years. I Doubt it.
    For any of us that have seen news footage of a fundamentalist being interviewd by Christian Amanpour, its easy to listen to the guile of the intervewee and believe that they dont believe in non-violence as a way to spread thier form of religion. Don't believe it. They want to turn you, or kill you. It's one or the other.
    BTW. For those of you that believe we are too harsh on the treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo, answer this question. What about American Prisoners of War in Iraq or Afghanistan. What about them?. Oh yea, there are none. Our enemies don't take prisoners, they torture and execute them. Hence the reason that all our guys dont plan on surrenduring. It's not an option.

      Comment: And the GOP terrorized us here in the US, with false terror alerts, until we fell in line, then launched an attack into a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. Petraeus is undoing as much of that as he can now. We stopped chasing Bin Laden, and while you were in the field this President said he wasn't worried about where Osama was. Of course that wasn't printed in the Stars and Stripes for you to read, or played on Armed Forces TV. I appreciate what you have done. I do not support what the CINC has done.
      Just because our enemy is barbaric does not mean we stoop to their level. I tend to agree with you on Fundamentalism, of any kind. Like the Falwell/Robertson types for instance. There are plenty of mindless zealots to go around. We aren't going to stomp off and kill them too, or most of Islam.

      Comment: Amen dude!!! Most people in the US don't realize that Democrats in congress tied the hands of our troops before they could finish the mission in Iraq. If the Democrats ever start to fight our enemies, the same way they have fought Bush, this could be over quickly.

      But we have a political party that has done everything they can to undermine the mission for the sake of political gain. I hold Democrats responsible for more troops deaths than the terrorist we fight. They took our military and turned them into a police force before the job was done! They express their outrage at our military, calling them murderers, and never have a bad word to say about the terrorist. I just don't get it!

      And how anybody could vote for this party......it's just crazy!

        Comment: The usual excuse for a complete military failure and one offered by every losing army from the time of Daruius. "It wasn't our fault, other people tied our hands and if we had been allowed to do things the way we wanted we would have won in a few weeks rather than losing in a few months. Its all Jimmy's fault that the other guys took over our sandbox; he let them do it and he kept us from beating them back." The US miltary is obscenely expensive and extremely ineffective and it is because they were asked to do something they could not possibly do, which is to wage war against nations that had no army, no air force and no navy that they lost. They are an outdated 19th and 20th Century mess that is utterly without capability in today's world and they will always lose as long as they remain wedded to their large troop movements and massive amounts of technocrap. Hopefully those who think the Uniterd States military is worth the paper to describe it will someday recognize it is not and will demand that it be changed to something than can protect us rather than something which is doing little more than raiding our Treasury. us.

          Comment: You are an idiot. If it was not for the men and women of the United States military, your choices in life would be:
          A. a second class British citizen
          B. part of whatever a divided United States would be, and definately not living at the econonomic standard at which you have become accustomed, with a hostile neighbor at your border
          C. Speaking German as your primary language
          D. Speaking German or Japanese as your primary language
          E. Speaking Russian as your primary language
          F. Or, more than likely, you would be dead for expressing any view other than what the established party line or head religious zealot has proclaimed to be acceptable.

          You freaking liberals believe that your freedom had no price. And, furthermore, that there is no price to preserve them. You are the same idiots that tried to appease the Germans in 1939. You accuse the military of killing innocents, but your type of insanity has resulted in the deaths of millions. Now, more than ever, our military has saved lives. If we not overseas, keeping the horde at bay, there would many more deaths here in the United States, and the Middle East. And don't forget Europe and Asia. If it weren't for the fear of having a 500 lb bomb shoved where the sun doesn't shine, these extremist would be openly active everywhere they can reach and accomplishing their goal of conversion or death.

          As for the Democrats, they are scum. They are actively assisting our enemies for polital gain. Their lust for power has divided our country, made us appear weak to our enemies, and prolonged a war that should have been over years ago.

          As for your last point, I do agree that thbe military is a mess. Not because of some analogy about being outdated, but because we have become so modernized that we have taken the fear and loathsomeness of war out of the picture. War should be messy, innocents should be killed, and fear should be rampant. All of the things that make a war something to avoid. Surgical strikes are not scary, but ask the survivors of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Bremen, and Berlin if they would like to be at war, again, I think you will find many of a like mind.

    Comment: Does anybody get this? Islamic Jihadists have been killing people since long before Bush. The USS Cole was a victim. So was that poor old man who got thrown over board from the Achille Lauro cruise ship. Those Marines in Somalia. The 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. How about the millions of women in Afghanistan who were yanked from their jobs and their lives to be covered in burqas and not allowed to see a male doctor. How many died? These people don't know what love is. They preach only hatred for
    anybody who does not believe in their twisted interpretation of Islam. That includes Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and more moderate Muslims. If we leave the middle east, they will swarm like the cockroaches they are.

    Comment: Its just amazing how much we know about al Qaida and how readily we blame them for everything from political assassinations to jaywalking, yet despite all we know we never seem to be able to capture even one of them. Seems to me its just an easy out to blame them, but if any ever got captured we would find that they are to blame for almost notning and have no capability beyond a tape recorder with which to do anything. So we make sure never to capture any; kill yes, but only "leaders," capture so thay can speak, never. Never was there a politician of any stripe who didn't love a threat,or a conspiricy and al Qaida provides both of them for the second raters who constitute the world's political figures today. Since Pakistan will inevitably be an Islamic Republic within five years, maybe we would be better off to negotiate with those who will lead it then rather than those who, under our previously flawed guifdance, have made this inevitable. Dump Musharref and find the Islamic leaders; talk to them, not to a loser. Oh, I forgot, we don't deal with anyone who is not amenable to our policy of establishing right wing dictatorships or spreading our perverted notion of "Democracy.

            Comment: In good versus evil, it is always very difficult to decide which is which. In this case is it a small group of fanatics who believe that they must fight aginst invasion and threats to their life style and do so by using the only weapons at their command, stealth and terrorism that is evil? Or is it the huge military giant of 300,000,000 who invades, without reason, has culpability in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, overthrows governments, occupies formerly soverign nations, and sets up puppet governments all in the name of having things their way and on the basis of outright falshoods and self indulgent rationals? And I really wish you wouldn't throw that fatuous crap about avoiding civilian deaths around. The US military is just that, a military force and like all military forces its job is to subdue and kill. The difference is that the Islamic terroist knows what he is doing and faces the fact that innocents die while the US Military uses modern weapons to stand off and kill and thus hypocritically absolve itself of blame. And then of course it joyously trumpets the rebuilding of a school, hospital or mosque which it knocked down in the first place as an act of good ignoring the act of evil that was the destruction. What is good and what is evil? Who can tell but I do know that one aspect of evil is the justification of evil acts by condemning the acts of others and simultaneously praising the same acts on your part. In that respect I think the US wins the evil prize for its self delusional justification of its unnecessary and unjustified invasions and the results of those invasions.

            And I most assuredly am a Democrat and I thank God every day for allowing me to be part of a forward looking, argumentative, multi faceted, intellectual discusssion oriented party rather than being a member of the simple minded, follow the leader, don't think for yourself, violence solves everything bunch of Neanderthals that is the Republican Party.

We must go after these people NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE. TO HELL WITH THE FOOT SOLDIERS IN IRAQ.......CUT OFF THE HEAD OF THE SNAKE......

      Comment: Its not a snake, its a Hydra. Only a really stupid man or a child mind would think that killing any one person in a movement as large as Fundamentalist Islam would have the slightest effect on anything. When one falls, another replaces him. Since the Islamic Republic is the coming political force in the world, it would be far better to sit down with its leaders and seek some accomodation for the inevitable future rather than invade, bomb, kill, destroy and topple governments who oppose us rather than accept our perverted brand of "Democracy."

      We are in our decline which will be hastened by insane military adventurism and the support of an obscenely expensive but largely inneffective military. We can only delay the inevitable a short time, and at great cost in money, life and citizen services, by killing the unkillable. Its time to grow up and stop playing soldier with its overpriced technocrap requirements. A turbaned farmer with a rifle and a homemade bomb is a far more effective force than a fifty million dollar fighter, or a two billion dollar bomber or a ten billion dollar aircraft carrrier; he isn't as pretty though and he doesn't make as much noise. But he gets the job done which is more than we can say for the US military; unless the job is embarrassing the country.

      Comment: Nooo...we need to negoitate with Zawahiri and Bin Laden. Have a peace summit with them. After all, they don't mean anybody any harm. They are just mad at Bush. If we destroy Bush, then they will like us. Don't you pay attention to what Pelosi and Reed are saying? Bush is the evil one......Al Qaida is the good guys.... Don't you read the media?

      We need to release the rest of these prisoners we are holding in Cuba so they can help the cause.

      But first, we must find out who destroyed these CIA tapes. We just can't have people protecting the identies of CIA operatives.......unless they are sympathic to the Democratic Montra that is.

      Seriously though....I've watched Democrats undermine our mission and our troops for 6 years now! Makes me want to puke! And how anybody can vote for this party after everything they have said and done..........I just don't get it?

        Comment: Faminchin: are you really this dense? In case you hadn't noticed, it's your God of Gods, George Bush, who can't find Mullah Omar or Bin Laden or alZahari. Remember? Your guy. I don't see how you blame it on "democrats" unless you like to forget that the buck stops at the White House. By the say, "montra" isn't a word. Try a spell-check once in awhile.

    Comment: This article seems like a propaganda and it is mighty nonsense, beginning with its title "Al Qaida has a new triggerman". If this man negotiated deal with Musharraf, and has led his tribesmen, how can he be new triggerman? Why sudden attempt by Musharraf and Newsweek to bring this name in limelight? I smell something fishy. But the contents of the article equally ridiculous if you tear them apart, analyze them, and read in between the lines. It does not add up. These tribesmen are very clever, down to earth, no-nonsense, brave, unafraid of death, shrewd and alert. They can unleash their country charm and convince you of their innocence. They follow Koran, a book that teaches to kill as it does peace. Before negotiating find out what part of Koran have these people adopted.

      Comment: Anything that blames Al Qaida for anything has to be propaganda. We all know Bush is the evil one. Al Qaida is just a peace loving organization that wants to bring love to the world.

      You sound alot like a Democratic Congressman....are you?
