Faced with massive fallout from their overnight bombing of two Pakistani military bases in Mohmand Agency, NATO officials are incredibly defending the strike, saying that he strafing of two bases full of sleeping soldiers amounted to “self-defense.”
Early reports from NATO indicated that there was some sort of clash with militants near the border that led to the bombers and attack helicopters being brought in. Despite the apparent official approval of the incident it is entirely unclear why they would’ve attacked the military bases in response to a cross border raid by militants.
"Despite the apparent official approval of the incident it is entirely unclear why they would’ve attacked the military bases in response to a cross border raid by militants." Simple answer… two bases full of sleeping soldiers won't be shooting back at the aircraft…. Sounds like they need some of those ground to air shoulder missiles that formerly belonged to Lybia…!!! And are now likely for sale.. Hey, check Ebay…
hawks take charge after the failure of the supercommittee, now inevitable defense cuts. Afpk is just a cash cow for the security industry. Were this confrontation to rachet up and casualties mount, obombers re-election hopes slim
Nobody should be letting NATO run around their countries killing people. Obama was elected and then given the Peace Prize on the assumption he wouldn't be involved in this horrible game. Pakistan should not be giving these drones and bombers access.
It looks to me like NATO and the Americans are trying to start a world war with Pakistan. Iran, Afganistan, Iran, Turkey, China and Russia. That is the neocon dream for a world with them on top. They don't care how much blood and treasure is spilt and spent as long as tthey are the last ones standing.
If the NATO butchers had said it was an "accident" – of course it wouldn't have been believable to a thinking person – but it may have nevertheless given the traitorous whores in the Pakistani government a face-saving way out.
The "self-defense" claim however, under the circumstances, seems intended to put the Pakistani government on the spot; it seems a calculated move to pick a fight, as on its face it doesn't leave any wiggle room for moral cowards desperately trying to deceive themselves.
I believe the whole point of the war on Afghanistan has always been to attack Pakistan; and the point of attacking (and neutering) Pakistan is to be able to attack Iran (and Syria, Lebanon, etc.), without having to worry that Pakistan's nukes would be used in anger against the Judeo-fascist ZOG Empire, at some point during the "clash of civilizations" that the Empire intends to start.
but it may have nevertheless given the traitorous whores in the Pakistani government a face-saving way out.
That say it all.If there was Honest leadership sitting in the Capital,these and 40000 plus people would be still alive who lost their lives in the war that was never ours in the first place.But ok,time is almost there to get rid of these whores.
I think ZOG has run into an embarrassing problem: The "government" of Pakistan, if you can call it that, turned out to be such a coterie of shameless, morally cowardly, traitorous whores, that it apparently cannot be provoked. NATO slaughters two dozen of its troops in cold blood, and the "government" of Pakistan is going to "complain" maybe? Maybe they could ask the NATO butchers, "Do you want some fries with that"?
Milosevic of Yugoslavia drew the line at the infamous "Appendix B" of the "Rambouillet Accords"; Saddam Hussein refused to step down and leave the country; but in Pakistan, the more the ZOG Empire raises the bar, the more the shameless whores stretch to accomodate. It would almost be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.
The world's most prolific, most sadistic rapist has encountered the world's loosest, most masochistic whore. The Pakistani government's infinite debauchery has taken all the fun out of it.
Is this utter stupidity or part of a devious plot to launch another destructive war against Muslims worldwide? The stupidity argument is starting to wear thin.
The same damn thing happened earlier in the year didn't it? With the same arrogant excuses. With friends like NATO who in the hell needs enemies!
After all these years.. can somebody tell me how to distinguish a bad Pakistani from a good one (ditto for the Afghans) ?
Well, US/NATO probably just cooked their own goose. One pissed off Pakistan lobes a tactical nuke over downtown Kabul and game over. Gosh, Syria and Iran just became minor irritations.
Hmmm, the Israelis aren't going to like this one bit.
Nah…this would give the Israelis the "excuse" to unilaterally level Iran – If the Paks toss a nuke the US/NATO would most likely respond in kind and with that much dust in the air, Israel would figure what's a couple more mushroom clouds added to the mix. I sure wouldn't want to live down-range – like in Japan, or China, or…Alaska…or, hell, anywhere on the US/Canadian west coast. Fukushima Daiichi will seem minor…
This is all madness, of course.
Unf***ing believable!
For NATO, in the reports, read US.
Next they will be calling the frequent “mistake” attacks on civilians also selfdefense. Seems like NATO picked it up from the Israelies. Oh, I forgot that both are one and the same.
Pakistan should have mobilized the air force and shot down these so called NATO helicopters and then that would have been self defense. They should do the same thing to the drones. But traitor Zardari has already sold Pakistan to US via that memo in question.
The rulers in countries like Pakistan are the worst scam of humanity. While it's country is being attacked day and night by U.S they hardly show any concern for it, in fact they downplay it. They are at war but they just dont care till their soldiers are reminded of it like this time!
It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the NATO sneak attack on sleeping Pakistani soldiers was some sort of psychological bullying exercise – something along the lines of a ritual of sexually defiling an enemy's intimate belongings, castrating enemy dead (and stuffing the severed genitalia into the mouths of the corpses), or raping the foe's women while forcing and forcing him to watch.
