This is what real courage looks like.


Outcry over Pakistan attack on activist Malala Yousafza, 14

An attack by Taliban gunmen in north-west Pakistan that wounded a 14-year-old who campaigned for girls' rights has caused an outcry in the country.

Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head on her way home from school in Mingora, the main town in the Swat Valley.

The president and prime minister have led condemnation of the attack.

Initial reports suggested she was out of danger, but there is growing concern over her condition with some reports saying she may need treatment abroad.

A Pakistani Taliban spokesman told the BBC they carried out the attack.

What a fucking bunch of cowardly assholes... What kind of grown man would shoot a 14 year old?

Religious fundamentalism is disgusting.

 

[Wings]

I wish it wasn't even called religious. No one but cowardly fanatics would do this, I have yet to meet a god that would condone the violence toward those who are weaker.

...and that she has a 'westernised mind and, as such, will not be spared'. fucking fuckers. i hope she lives and recovers, and grows into power where she might be a political part of putting these people down for good. for now, let's hope she survives and can live her life fulfilled.

Stuff like this is why I hate when idiots talk about the "war on women" in America. There are countries where there really is a war on women. These are the same people that killed Benazir Bhutto.

Hear Malala for yourself.

If these craven cowards are proud of attacking an underage girl, why do they stay in hiding ?

US drones have killed children, teenagers and old folks.

The Taliban have figured out how to trump unpleasant drone-attack deaths.

Thank you Taliban!

I know it's a hogjackism, but it's a valid point.

It's funny that some random asshole with an AK47 is doing what billions of dollars and hundreds of US drone strikes couldn't... winning over the hearts and minds.

In the middle of Taliban territory where she lives, it'll take a lot more like her to even register.

 

[Liar]

And we worry about Iran having nukes?

President Obama Goes All In on The Taliban

President Barack Obama announced Tuesday the U.S. wants 'Direct Discussions' with Taliban leaders

May 2. 2012

http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2012/05/02/president-obama-goes-all-in-on-the-taliban

The Obama administration has sifted hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars to try to "influence" the Taliban...

...and every single day on average, the Taliban kill an American in Afghanistan.

When the American military leaves Afghanistan en masse "by the end of 2014"...

...every Afghan female will instantly return to being Taliban chattel.

If they strictly obey their masters, they will be spared...

...if they, in any way, defy their masters, they - just like this 14 year-old girl - will be severely dealt with.

And this is all because two American presidents didn't/don't possess either the fortitude or the integrity to do the right thing.

President of the United States of America out campaigning for another term in Office...

...while a young girl has to pay for his disingenuous refusal to walk like he loves to talk.

Friggin' pos...

I wonder how long it would take before some idiot attempted to blame this on Obama...

 

[Colonel Hogan]

One good thing that may come out of this, there is fucking outrage in Pakistan.

Outrage? Based on what? Pakistan, or at least Pakistani "intelligence" (you should pardon the inherent contradiction) fully protects these cockroaches as a legitimate political voice in that country.

Is someone just finding out that the Taliban hang people from soccer goals during half time? Do we need to download that YouTube video of the female adulteress being shot through the head while she kneels on the pitch?

These people have long ago sacrificed their right to moral outrage.

 

[dirtycarol]

She's welcome at my house.

 

[eyer]

At least you don't have to wonder "how long" before even more women in Afghanistan and Pakistan are attacked because Obama can talk his talk...

...but can't actually walk it.

Obama's surge in Afghanistan ends

Very quietly, the surge of troops into Afghanistan that President Obama announced to such fanfare in late 2009 is now over.

...The "surge did accomplish its objectives of reversing the Taliban momentum on the battlefield and dramatically increase the size and capability of the Afghan national security forces," [Defense Secretary Leon] Panetta said.

...From the Associated Press:

The surge was aimed at beating back the Taliban to give the Afghan government and its security forces the time and space to take hold. The key goal was to ensure that the Taliban did not regain a foothold in the country that could allow it once again to become a safe haven for terror groups. And there was hope that Taliban members would be willing to come to the peace table.

CBS’ Lara Logan Slams Govt ‘Lie’ About Middle East: Taliban, Al Qaeda Threats Haven’t Been Tamed

...In what the Chicago Sun-Times‘ Laura Washington called a “provocative speech,” Logan said the Taliban and al Qaeda still hate Americans, now more than ever.

“I chose this subject because, one, I can’t stand that there is a major lie being propagated,” Logan said.

She went on to explain said lie:

“There is this narrative coming out of Washington for the last two years,” Logan said. It is driven in part by “Taliban apologists,” who claim “they are just the poor moderate, gentler, kinder Taliban,” she added sarcastically. “It’s such nonsense!”

Washington noted that Logan stepped out of her “objective” role as a journalist as she spoke of poring through documents and interviewing U.S. commanders and well as Afghanistan’s president and a Taliban commander. Al Qaeda and the Taliban are gearing up and recruiting new terrorists, the Sun-Times reported her saying.

Logan further commented on the recent attack in Libya, calling for retribution following the killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens:

Logan even called for retribution for the recent terrorist killings of Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other officials. The event is a harbinger of our vulnerability, she said. Logan hopes that America will “exact revenge and let the world know that the United States will not be attacked on its own soil. That its ambassadors will not be murdered, and that the United States will not stand by and do nothing about it.”

Malala Yousafzai must have been a cute, wholesome-looking blonde.

Otherwise why would the media cover this?
