We can expect no less from such scumbags.

By fate or design, Pakistan is indeed headed for meltdown...

Taliban

As if we needed more convincing how horrible they are.

Why don't you go talk them to death?

I need a cite on Clinton's bombings.

I need a cite on Clinton's bombings.

What kind of cite? Clinton bombed Iraq repeatedly, just not very thoroughly. One of the critisisms against him was that he was perfectly happy to keep Iraq on a low simmer, not willing to move one way or the other.

Sloww is a Republican, what do you think?

[Auzuigcx]

However it should be noted that Islamic media does not report on this for reasons exactly like the ones that resulted in western media seldom reporting on abuses from western forces. I'm thinking of the secret prisons, renditions, spec ops and the like. For example, in the nineties Clinton continued to bomb Iraqi facilities on a regular basis, but American media rarely covered it at all.

How were those 'abuses'?

edit: I'm completely unfamiliar with these events; I just don't see why the USAF bombing the Iraqi Army would have been abuse...

[Baromaro]

Yes, I have heard of both, which in itself discounts the idea that these were somehow not reported. Neither of those constitutes "regular" bombings.

[lzwha]

Traianvs said that they were "rarely" covered. He never said they were a secret or anything. That would be because the rarely, not regularly, occured. Which means they were reported exactly how they should have been.

You can pretend all you want, but to say bombing Iraq at inconsistant times 2-3 times a year (usually not even that) and only after their provovation constitutes "regularly" is pure farce.

[TughEmotteTug]

The replies are detracting attention from the main point Oerdin was making, being the coverage in islamic media.

If the Taliban use human shields during an American attack on their positions, the tactic will not likely be covered by media favouring islamic warriors, just like Americans using secret prisons (Morocco, Egypt, Poland, etc) won't likely be covered by Fox or other media channels favouring their patriot heroes.

For example the secret prison near Szymany in Poland has come in the press recently, but the big influential channels prefer not to headline it. As always information is available but you simply have to search to get it. The same thing applies, albeit to a lesser degree, to arabic media coverage.

I think that was more relevant to the point, rather than defining what regularly means.
