I call BULLSHIT. Give me a break. They couldnt find and kill Bin Laden for 10 years; but they somehow could find the "same militants" that downed the Shithook and kill them, like two days later. The "same" guys. Riiiiiight.
What blatant propaganda. The fact that this even ran in any "news" media demonstrates how utterly stupid the majority of people are; and that the pols and news people know that.

Guess those militants shouldn't have thrown their "Downed a helicopter" party at the local bowling alley. STRIKE 8-)

I have an interesting story related to this incident.
Someone on my FB friend list posted a comment on his page along the lines of:
Vengeance is mine says the Lord. We are happy to act as the tool of God's will. Prepare to meet Allah, terrorist.
BACKGROUND: I've known this person for 20 years. He was one of my best friends at one point, proposed at another point, and has morphed into an acquaintance over the years.
Anyway, upon reading his comment, I posted a response along the lines of:
If you're going to pick a bible quote to justify your desire for revenge, you should probably pick a new one. The one you creatively cherry picked is actually the exact opposite of your interpretation. For you reference, here's the full quote <copy and paste of Romans 12: 19 - 21>.
He posted some bullshit half-literate response about how it's HIS interpretation and he'd be happy to educate me (or some such nonsense). I saw the response via the notification that landed in my inbox. When I went to FB to reply, I couldn't find it. I thought he had deleted the thread. Turns out that he defriended me. Over that. Because I had the gall. What kind of candyass can't take someone disagreeing with them over their thirst for blood?
-
I dunno, sweetheart.
Marry me?

Further along in the article, they mention there's an investigation into the crash (of course; that's no suprise) because they weren't certain exactly WHAT brought down the aircraft, since they were taking so much small arms fire. They assumed/suspected it was an RPG, but aren't totally certain.
Ok... ill bite. If they aren't sure what caused the crash, how on Earth are they sure they killed the same militants that (supposedly) took it down?
-
People like that can fuck off, Vesp. I openly invite people whose beliefs are so shallow and weak that they can't stand contradicting viewpoints to go about their merry way and defriend me.
-
Turns out that he defriended me. Over that.
Could've been worse. He could've not defriended you.
Or, worse than that, told you that "you've changed".
-
It's OK Vesp, I'll still be your friend. I can't really propose to you until my current wife dies or leaves me though.
-
Maybe I'm old, but shouldn't it be "un-friended"? Defriended sounds like he took all your friends and left you with none.
I know that's used by FB; I'm just sayin'...
