Six Iranian Commanders Among 49 Killed in Suicide Bombing
US-Backed Jundallah Reportedly Claims Credit
Last Updated 10/18 5:40 PM EST
At least 49 people were killed today, including six high ranking members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, and dozens of others were wounded in a suicide attack in Sistan-Balochistan.
The attack was the deadliest in the region since a May attack on a Shi’ite mosque in the mostly Sunni province. Iran’s state media is reporting that Jundallah has taken credit for today’s attack.
Jundallah is a Baloch separatist group which operates on both the Iranian and Pakistani sides of the border. The group, which once boasted of ties with al-Qaeda, has been supported by the United States since at least 2005.
The exact extent of US backing for Jundallah is a matter of some dispute. Officials who privately acknowledge the relationship insist everything was careful worked to avoid Congressional oversight and that the relationship was “appropriate”, but the captured brother of Jundallah’s leader insists the US directly funded the group and has ordered them to carry out attacks.

maybe it's about time we acknowledge the racist component of this operation…
after all, it was dreamed up by ashkenazi supermen, so maybe it's time we put our lilywhite cards on the table.

"ashkenazi supermen" that sound like a bit of a racist component aswell.
but of coarse to paraphrase Hana Arent, if no race thinking ever existed imperialism would have necessitate its creation.

being from little rock Arkansas im not entirely sure what you mean by "hillbilly virtues"
no one is doubting the racist ideology of either the elites of the united states or the racist core of the Zionist ideology. but to say that we are thus fighting their race seem to be falling in to a very counterproductive way of thinking

the evidence is pretty obvious.
white people, lead by ashkenazis, have embarked on this project to secure energy supplies for white what-pases-for-civilization.
in keeping with doc aumann's nobel-winning theories, we have to judge these people by their actions, dont we?

perhaps you can be a little bit more specific in what you mean by the following terms
white people
ashkenazis
because i think alot of Russians are white and i also happen to know many a very poor Ashkenazim
and so when we are discussing some thing as important as why millions of people are being killed the world over it would be helpful to be slightly more specific

ah.
so we should all give up and knuckle under to whoever's got the most bombs.
good enough.
in the meantime, we have to assume that the looters think they're gonna find a hideout somewhere, huh?
are they mistaken about the barricades, too?
wadosy
October 18th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
i know what you meant.
are the looters confident enough of their alliance with the bombbuilders that they think their barricades will work?
for instance: if israel is entitled to blow up the neighborhood as they go under, are the pakistanis entitled to the same thing?

seems to me like people are gonna have to admit to themselves, sooner or later, that israel was a bad idea…
…for lots of reasons, not least of which is the corrosion of jewish morality caused by defending israel.
do you think the israelis are just gonna pack up an move back to wherever?
or are they gonna kill as many people as they can as they go under?

This is it, isn't it? The beginning of the war with Iran. Imagine any other nation including your own, who's senior military commanders are assassinated by a group funded by the U.S.? It's like the entire world has turned into a Dali painting. I can't see Iran doing nothing about this. They will be in full preparation for war, and they will become more and more angry as the evidence points to the U.S., Israel, or the U.K. Iran will not be Iraq. China and Russia will support them. Say goodbye to the "grand experiment", because the world cannot tolerate the U.S. empire any longer. It is the east that will shape the new century, as the west has become mere butchers, liars, and the past…

Can it really be true that the media cannot corroborate whether or not Jundullah took responsibility? This should be easily determined public knowledge… either they did or they didn't. If only one American civil servant could be re-purposed to something useful, like basic public fact-finding.
(From Iran's Press TV)
"President Ahmadinejad reacted to the attack and demanded Pakistan eradicate the terrorist group Jundullah, which has taken responsibility for the bombing. "

when you've decided that might makes right, and you control the mightiest military in the world, and the fact that you control that military is proof of your racial superiority, what are we poor hillbillies supposed to think?
on the other hand, maybe hillbilly values will eventually win out, dont you think? …especially once your superiority runs out of gas.
and then you will have to hope that those hillbilly virtues include forgiveness.

putin expelled the radical ashkenazis who were allied with the PNAC/AEI radicals (see comments).
russian ashkenazis, in control of russian energy when 9/11 happened, were expected to supply israeli american armies with fuel while the middle east oil patch was being remodeled to israeli specifications.
but putin decided to repossess russian oil from the israeli russian gangsters (most of whom fled to israel), and has been vilified ever since.
so you're right: we should make distinctions between ashkenazis who believe their own hype ("we're an empire now, and we create our own reality") and ashkenazis who have a little better grasp on reality.

and when "the hungry mobs, armed with pitchforks," take to the streets it would be nice if those among them who when meeting out their slaughter upon those who oppress them will make the " fine distinctions" between say every one who is an Ashkenazi and the tiny hand full of people who they will never see and never find.

the problem seems to be leadership.
when leaders are intent on pitchforking the whole world, then the rest of the people are kinda degraded morally… they have to resort to pitchforks to defend themselves.
it's just too damn bad that we're being led by people who think might makes right… people whose philosophy of government includes lying, as a matter of policy, to the governed… people who seem to have no inclination at all to tell the truth about looming problems, and have no inclination towards cooperating to deal with them.
cooperation, i guess, is seen as a sign of weakness.
too bad none of these people have ever been to a hillbilly barnraising.
