This pretty well hits….
the nail on the head.
The damning evidence was on the front page of yesterday’s Post: A dra matic photo showing more than 100 Taliban terrorists in formation last July for a graveside funeral for one of their own in Afghanistan.
The image was shot from high in the sky by an unmanned American drone – which fed a continuous satellite feed back on the ground.
A ripe target for a surprise missile strike? It certainly would seem so.
But according to a statement yesterday from U.S. Central Command in Afghanistan, “a decision was made” – preposterously – “not to strike the group of insurgents at that specific location and time” because the site was a cemetery with a funeral in progress.
Huh? This pretty well sums my thoughts on the whole thing:
How many Coalition soldiers will die because 100-plus Taliban were allowed to walk free will never be known, of course. It can’t be.
This much is clear, though: The Taliban never show mercy – and they are contemptuous of those who do.
War is about killing.
Or being killed.
About winning.
Or losing.
Time to change the rules.
When are we going to start fighting this like a war, and put the lawyers back in the courtrooms instead of the battlefields?

It seems to me that killing the bastards in a cemetery saves time and effort for all involved.
No sweating that ‘three day in the ground’ rule!
ESPECIALLY if you blast them ~ just roto-til afterwards.
“three day in the ground rule”? Que es esto?
I believe Islam says one must be planted prior to sundown the third day after death or no virgins or free pizza or something.
Or you start to smell worse than the living ones?
I thought they were just buried in the desert in an unmarked grave. So would that count as a cemetary?
