right? I mean, I thought we liked to drop a dozen bombs that cost billions of dollars each on a target that could've been easily taken out by a sniper...

Right. How many sniper kills on Taliban Soldiers do you here of happening in Pakistan by American Troops? How about Drone Attacks using Costly Hellfire Missiles?

Well, it's better to be sure.

Not only that, but snipers can die, drones obviously cannot. Snipers can also be stopped, as they will have to infiltrate hostile territory, but drones cannot be stopped - or detected by the primitive Taliban for that matter - not only is it more effective, but it is also a psychological blow (as well as a morale booster for US). lastly, snipers cannot reach someone inside a house and not by a window, or someone at the wrong angle (at the top of the roof as the recent Taliban leader casualty was). Drones simply annihilate everything.

However, a sniper's bullet can discriminate enemy from civilian. A drone has a larger problem doing this.

I'm hoping that when Israel eventually bomb those nuclear sites that Adinnerjacket might be conducting a visit on that particular day, oh and the grand mullah or whatever his name is. I dislike him to..

Since when did anyone care about afghans? I mean.....they're almost black for crying out loud! And they talk funny.

EDIT: Seamus wants me to edit this post to show that it is satire... but honestly, I'm more serious about it than that, it's not just a joke so a simple clown smiley won't suffice... So I wrote this instead.

oops no, it was the little satans fault:

Perhaps it was a three way orgy of blood, since Pakistan is now being accused.

I wonder if they'll ever figure out, that it was actually the Swiss, the League of Five Jewish Bankers, and The Legion of Doom.

Next time use a clown smiley.

Why?

Honestly, it is the western attitude towards the afghan population. We just don't care as much about them as we care about ourselves. Possibly because they're almost black and talk funny.

Would we have fought the same way in a defensive war in our own country, among our own countrymen, as we are currently doing in Afghanistan? I think not. And there's only one answer as to why; we just don't care about them as much as we care about ourselves. Because they're worth less in our eyes.
