Topic: US air strike on Pakistani soldiers

Pakistan's Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani has condemned an air strike by Afghanistan-based US forces that Islamabad says killed 11 of its troops.

The incident took place inside Pakistan, near the border with Afghanistan.

The US military confirmed it had used artillery and air strikes after coming under fire from "anti-Afghan" forces.

Seems the Pakistani's shot first.

Seems to be self defense to me.

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: US air strike on Pakistani soldiers

Typically USA they come in blasting with their missiles taking a lot of innocent lives in the process!

What do I have to work with?

Re: US air strike on Pakistani soldiers

compared to Russian missiles? Pakistani Missiles? Chinese Missiles?


Under what comparison are you using?

@ Gladiator

No, you are wrong.

From the safety of Pakistan, military forces raided into Afghanistan.
After engaging with Afghan forces, the US supporting its ally, hit the retreating forces with Artillery and Air Strikes.
The US Military killed 11 of them.

I, as an American, give a shit less who or where they came from.

I, as an American, give a shit less what the PM of Pakistan has to say to the public.



Also, to you Leftist anti-American Euro-Pacifists.......

How embarrassing its going to be for you when your children and children's children of future generations look at what scared rabbits you all were.

pathetic.,..... oh yea. before I hear how BW calls names to people, Note who I was SPECIFICALLY singling out.  A large group of you......and those of like minded leanings.   No one in particular......just so you all know.

You know, that sounds almost Fascist, BW.

Euro-pacifists is a wrong term BW, Europe is pacified. tongue
We don't all sit on the sideline. Most of the European countries are present in Afghanistan (even Belgium).

"How embarrassing its going to be for you when your children and children's children of future generations look at what scared rabbits you all were."

Perhaps they realise that we try a different approach than sending tons of people into another war. Europe has been fighting it's way out of trouble for the last 2000 years, and frankly, it didn't change much. The European union did bring permanent solutions, so why shouldn't we try other things then bombing the living hell out of people.

Belgium should send troops to the Darfur region....but that another story.

From PressTV.IR :

"There are around 360 Belgian soldiers already deployed in Afghanistan, most of them maintaining security at Kabul Airport."


I guess you can say Belgium supports the NATO Mission.   4 - F16s are goint there as well.

I believe we have troops there too tongue

"Its only been 16 years since Maastricht"

Your point being?

"

Diplomacy. Integration into a world system works better to bring democracy etc. then war. Of course, this takes time..

Re: US air strike on Pakistani soldiers

Troops in Darfor ??  No, no.  Not a token force like in Afghansitan.

In Afghanistan, you have armed security.......that any dolt can do w/about 4 weeks of training.
Quite a waste of personal if you ask me.

Did you perhaps read a different article? 8 Taleban were killed. The other 11 people the US airstrike killed were your allies.


As usual you're talking beside the issue here. It's not about *how much* you can bomb the shit out of anyone, it's about how you bomb the shit out of the wrong people. I'd like to discuss the Rwanda mission, but not here, since it's got ZERO to do with this topic.


To clarify; how many incidents / cockups / widows / scandals will it take before the US gets that the smeared out token victories do not weigh up against the use of brute military force - plus its material and human cost - to force a NON-sustainable peace?
