This is how you do it. (no collateral)

Then there was this (big score?) on the 23rd. (Predator attack)

WANA, Pakistan (Reuters) - U.S. drones prowled the sky over Pakistan's South Waziristan on Wednesday, a day after one of the aircraft attacked a stronghold of Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud, killing about 70 militants.

An airstrike believed to be carried out by a United States drone killed at least 60 people at a funeral in South Waziristan on Tuesday, residents of the area and local news reports said.

Details of the attack, which occurred in Makeen, remained unclear, but the reported death toll was exceptionally high. If the reports are indeed accurate and if the attack was carried out by a drone, the strike would be perhaps the deadliest since the United States began using the aircraft to fire remotely guided missiles at members of the Taliban and Al Qaeda in the tribal areas of Pakistan…

Pakistani jets have aimed at Mr. Mehsud’s hide-outs in recent days, and the funeral in Makeen that was hit on Tuesday was being held for a Taliban commander killed that day.

While the strike on the funeral may have been conducted by the Pakistani Air Force, residents and local news reports uniformly attributed it to a United States drone.

The dead may have included top commanders for Mr. Mehsud. The Geo Television Network, quoting unnamed sources, said that the dead included a trainer of suicide bombers named Qari Hussain as well as a Taliban commander named Sangeen, though there was no way to immediately verify the report.

The attack took place in the town of Makeen, a stronghold of Baitullah Mehsud, according to Geo News. The US has hit Taliban facilities in the Makeen region three times since June 14. The Pakistani Air Force has also launched several attacks in the region.

These attacks coincided with an important meeting between Baitullah and a senior delegation of Taliban and al Qaeda leaders to discuss the military’s operation in South Waziristan. Among those in attendance were Siraj Haqqani, Abu Yahya al Libi, Abdul Haq, and two senior deputies of Mullah Abdullah Zakir. The US appears to have targeted al Qaeda’s senior leadership as it met with Baitullah.

Today’s Predator strikes also take place as the Pakistani military is in the opening phase of its operation to destroy Baitullah’s network in South Waziristan.

So basically, if you hear a report of us killing a lot of civilians via air strikes in this region, it's probably bullshit.

No. In war it's virtually inevitable. But if you hear that we attack indiscriminately, it probably is bs.

I think I'm getting you and Carmeron mixed up.

The original video should be played in Arabic T.V. to show how fruitless their effort is against our military. Which is why they go for soft targets.

I still don't get why we haven't seen bombing within the continental United States? Only the occasional shooting (i.e. in Arkansas), or a person run over someone with a vehicle by extreme islamists.

Attacks like this are a good thing , but I think the most best results come from within .
Taliban turns on alqaeda

THE leader of Taliban tribesmen in Pakistan - who has turned on al-Qaeda's most ruthless ally - has vowed to help rescue his country from a reign of terror that has pushed it close to collapse.

In his first interview with a Western newspaper, Qari Zainuddin said he had mobilised 3000 armed followers and would attempt to wipe out the feared warlord, Baitullah Mehsud, and drive his al-Qaeda supporters from Pakistan.

SMH wrote:
To fight our own country is wrong," he said. "What we're seeing these days - these bombings in mosques, in markets, in hospitals - these are not allowed in Islam. We don't agree with them."

I dont want to take anything away from the hard work the Allied soldiers are doing, but I think events like this will have the best results.

Well Arabic won't work seeing as they're not Arabs and don't even speak Arabic for the most part. You try to act like you know everything and you should be the General in control of NATO and that the easiest plan is to bomb them all, but you don't even know the bare basics.

You used 'we' Kmar...I thought you're Irish? Do the Irish even have any forces in Afghanistan?

There actually is a few Irish Army members in Afghanistan, about 7 PDF(Permanent Defence Forces) members are there I believe, although it is kept very quiet. I'm not entirely sure if they're still there, it was from a Sergeant in the PDF who used to train me that told me in 07/08.

Whenever I hear about the media or whatever saying the U.S attacked civilians I take it with a pinch of salt, any media group would exaggerate stories to get that extra viewer.

And that's an awesome video too, get touched Taliban.

I'll try find a link on the net if there's anything about it, and I mean virtually no one knows this. Or maybe people just don't want to hear it. Here's a few links.

Didn't the Talib flag used to be black with white characters and symbols? Or is that AQ?

Those are either old Russian or Chicom vests for AK mags.
