I've never seen anything like that type of reporting in the regular press. Outstanding stuff.

I really don't see why we don't bring our massive military advantage to bear and annihilate the scum our forces are up against.

Somebody is seeing the light.

The BBC and lefty friends going nuts over the dead from the diesel tankers blown up by air attack after being hijacked by the Taliban is revolting. The fuel from these escapades is sold to raise money to hire bomb builders, planters, and other needs.

The idea that the poorest people in the world cannot be manipulated to settle down and quit being idiots by the richest countries in the world really is a puzzle.

But the crowning idiocy is that all this is happening while being dependent on supply lines running the length of Pakistan, one of the most unstable nuclear weapons states in the world and the Taliban's sanctuary.

Sgt Lejaune

and the lefties say it's about a pipeline?

the troops could use one right now!

It's good to know that criticizing slaughter of dozens of innocent people will not be tolerated.

These "innocent people" are not so innocent.
Only an idiot would style looters (at best) as innocents....in a war zone looters are shot on sight....legally according to the Geneva Protocols (International Law).
Only a Quisling would label/style these looters as innocent civilians....

Yes, but we don't execute people for stealing a drum of diesel fuel (or gas, whatever it was).

Your heavy handed approach already cost Canada its paratrooper regimen. Congratulations, armchair commando.

Just like we don't execute people for not speaking English and holding a stapler. It's cost RCMP its reputation, or actually what's left of it.

You are correct, but you are wrong. I am not sure if your rigid mind can grasp the concept.

Attention to detail check: Afghanistan signed Geneva convention in 1949, when it was still the Kingdom. Several governments changed since. There are no provisions as regards to looting or marauders in the Convention, as it's goal is to protect the victims of war. Convention deals with looting by the hostile army, which does not apply to the situation.
