8 Nil to the Predator

[Dedworth]

At least eight al-Qaeda militants - some of whom were German nationals - have been killed in a drone attack in Pakistan, officials have told the BBC.

The suspected US drone fired two missiles at a house owned by a local tribesman in the Pakistani region of North Waziristan, the officials said.

At least three of the dead were said to be German, of Arab or Turkish origin.

There have been 26 such strikes in the area in the past month, killing several high-profile militants.

Analysts have linked the increasing frequency of US drone attacks with current reports of an alleged al-Qaeda plot to attack European cities.

Several countries have issued travel warnings to their citizens, and US intelligence sources have linked the plot to militants in Pakistan.

Wonder if London and other major cities are protected from Drone attacks. I know our air ways are heavily monitored and very busy but surely if they on one way missions they take risks the average stray light plane or helicopter wouldn't with altitude

[Dedworth]

At least five militants have been killed in a US drone strike in north-western Pakistan, intelligence officials say.

Dear me Dedworth,

You really have fallen hook, line and sinker for the US/UK line of bullcrap

You'll be saying the IRA were terrorists next.

There's nowt so strange as folk.

[bornatbirth]

nothing wrong with killing terrorists

Maybe you should kill the British for brutally colonizing also, and while you're at it, the Americans for allowing the persecution of the Palestinians.

The IRA are terrorists, likewise Baader Meinhof, PLO, ETA, Abu Sayyaf ,NPA etc along with the vile scum who murdered 52 people and maimed untold others in London on 7/7/2005. It is music to my ears when I hear of missiles being launched at these vermin in their Pakistan hidey holes - the more the merrier

I feel that this way of thinking will only cause more innocent deaths

Encouraging start to the week another 14 extremists sent to their maker

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010...tants-pakistan

Two American drone strikes killed 14 suspected militants in north-western Pakistan on Sunday, local intelligence officials said, in the latest attacks against al-Qaida and Taliban militants.

In the first strike, nine insurgents were killed when two missiles were fired on the town of Ghulam Khan in North Waziristan.

An hour later, another pair of missiles struck a vehicle in the nearby town of Datta Khel, killing five suspected militants.

[Dedworth]

the more islamists who die in drone attacks the better for humanity

Shhhh David you will upset the board islamophile

[les_taxi]

I have not posted on these subjects for a while to keep the piece but I'm totally with Dedworth reguarding extremists em

Also this colonial crap I keep hearing Yes we took some liberties but we were a dominant power,are you trying to tell me that if some of these smaller countries were in our position then they would not have done the same

We colonised lots of countries and educated them too,don't see as many africans boiled in a pan these days.

Most Indians I have ever spoke to are proud of their links with Britain and have class unlike the bloody Pakistanis who encourage terrorism and are one of the biggest bunch of racits you will ever meet.

[aposhark]

The IRA were "supposed to be" terrorists and we would never negotiate with them.
Hey ho, we did.

The Islamic world will negotiate when they are in a position of power also.
Or at least will keep on going until we lose the will to continue in Afghanistan for example.

People who fight for their own land will find willpower beyond belief.

Keep on reading the "Sun" those who beg to differ

[aposhark]

forget colonial white remorse, the west needs to take these evil people at their word and when they say that one day they will conquer the uk and everything else. send them back to the desert with a sore bum

For lestaxi also:

From Wiki:
Political boundaries drawn by the British did not always reflect homogeneous ethnicities or religions, contributing to conflicts in formerly colonised areas. The British Empire was also responsible for large migrations of peoples. Millions left the British Isles, with the founding settler populations of the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand coming mainly from Britain and Ireland. Tensions remain between the white settler populations of these countries and their indigenous minorities, and between settler minorities and indigenous majorities in South Africa and Zimbabwe. British settlement of Ireland has left its mark in the form of divided Catholic and Protestant communities in Northern Ireland. Millions of people moved to and from British colonies, with large numbers of Indians emigrating to other parts of the Empire. These include present day Malaysia, Mauritius, Fiji, Guyana, Trinidad, Kenya, Uganda,Tanzania and South Africa. Chinese emigration, primarily from Southern China, led to the creation of Chinese-majority Singapore and small Chinese minorities in the Caribbean. The makeup of Britain itself was changed after the Second World War due to immigration to Britain from the colonies to which it was granting independence.[218]

I think we have a lot to answer for. We have a legacy of immigration into the UK because of it, and some racist people on this forum are in denial

I think you should withdraw the wholly uncalled for Racist accusation - I don't think anyone here is denying that the UK has a long history of immigration. This thread concerns the early demise of islamic terrorists as they scuttle in and out of their Pakistan rat holes.

[bornatbirth]

can we have less of the racist accusations, please

[aposhark]

the more islamists who die in drone attacks the better for humanity

Isnt this comment racist?

[bornatbirth]

Isnt this comment racist?

well no, why do you consider it racist, the guy... likes other guys and we all know what muslims think of them.

we are talking terrorists here

[Englishman2010]

Isnt this comment racist?

I respectfully say that it isn't racist, although it is a very extreme remark. I believe the commentator is referring to hard core fundamentalists in his use of the words Islamists. It would not be considered racist if he had said Far Right Christian Fundamentalists - but it is the same difference.

[Dedworth]

As I've said before the frequent and incorrect use of the racist jibe is socialist sop to any critiscism by the indigenous UK population of multiculturalism, islamic extremism, immigration policy, foreign criminals and prisoners etc.

During the dying months of the last failed Labour Government it fell out of use somewhat as they realised they were losing supporters with Joe Public strongly feeling that mass uncontrolled immigration was wrong and that muslim extremists shouldn't be kow-towed to.

immigration as always been around together with joining the EU it seems worse than it really is, i can understand how people feel when you read the headlines, why do you think immigrants want to come to the uk?

isnt it because were a nation that cares and gives people a chance of a better life, so can we have less of this over reacting

So, if the IRA are/were terrorists as you say, why did the UK government negotiate with them?

They hold seats in Nothern Ireland now.

Everything changes, in time.
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

[Englishman2010]

I was listening to a debate on Radio 5 a few years ago, they were discussing Yasser Arafat and the Isreali's negotiating with terrorists, but something got lost in translation and they referred to Arafat as Hitch-hiker, not a hijacker

if it stops them killiing other people, then why not?

There are always two sides to every story.
I would like to know if people who are happy with muslims being killed have ever sat down with any British muslims and had a discussion about anything.
I would love to see them putting some of these anti-muslim points to people around the country.

It is easy to "shout" on a forum about hating this and that, do people ever make time to talk to their fellow British people of other political or racial types to find out more?

I do - I try to find out more wherever I go, even with people from other countries.

I am anti-racist and an atheist and I defend these always.

religious threads have been stopped on this forum due to your interaction in them, please can we all make sure that this topic and many others to follow are not stopped in the same fashion!

now lets go and have a nice cup of tea and a hug from the wife

btw hows your baby and wife doing

[stevewool]

hi all each to there own i have said and who ever is right or wrong who really cares , we all have views and many are wrong many are right but we live in a society that we all can have that view,
anyway i am here writting tghis after what i saw in london on sunday at speakers corner.
myself and emma was walking through and there was about 5 speakers there shouting there wares , politics, god, some other i could not understand, another one who was rambling and about 30 people that were praying, and yes muslins or who ever they were,
anyway just stopping and listening to them, these 2 people and my view here is thugs, prats and w---kers, got out this flag and started shouting at these people praying, get a job we pay your money the usualy stuff, and there where a few others with them looking for a fight, how i wished i could have comfronted these idiots made me so angry and so wished to tell them what i thought, most proberly these did not work too but being white they thought they where better i think, pushing became more and more and its the white people doing it all,the others just tried to calm everyone down, the police were called but we had gone before then, just makes me wonder who and what is right, all i know is there are better ways to act when trying to say something to others

[Dedworth]

Maybe the blokes shouting "get a job - we pay your money" were making reference to Mohammed Shamsuddin one of the grubs who stood outside the Old Bailey the other day waving placards saying "British soldiers must die" & "Stephen Timms – go to hell" - it is widely reported that this chap is happy enough to collect taxpayer funded benefits from a country he loathes, but can afford to send his children to private schools

I'm not sure if they have a Speakers Corner in Riyadh but they certainly have Chop Square
