John and I took the afternoon today to do mundane chores,play with the dogs, and other fun stuff but
no building fence. We were talking about the NEWS FLASH from Pakistan about the terrorist activity, young Iranian women being hung for defending themselves and other talk, guaranteed to make you feel well not very warm and fuzzy.

The CIA is believed to have fired missiles from Predator aircraft at Damadola village in the tribal area of Bajaur, near the border with Afghanistan. The US did not comment officially, but American television networks, citing unnamed intelligence sources, initially reported Zawahiri might have been among the dead.

I had commented that there was allot of protesting going on over the bombing in Damadola, the small village near the Afghan border in Pakistan late last night ,and in fact the first blog comment I read stated ” no one cares! No messages, no air time, no apology. Bah!!”

John’s query to me was why didn’t the villagers report the presence of the terrorists in the first place ?
and the location of said scumterrorists , because if they had , it is doubtful that many if any “innocents” would have been killed, because we would have sent in a special ground assault team……which have the ability to be more selective than air launched ordinance(bombs).So we have to assume,that the villeragers were harboring the terrorist scum.

Also consider why ,if there are no known terrorists in these villages then why did the Pakistani government themselves level 3 homes of terrorists?
It is a very very sad reality that innocent are hurt in war, my heartfelt prayers are directed to those families losses.
The CIA, if in fact they did they bombing undeniably had good intelligence, which means they damn well knew there were terrorists in this village, I am sorry innocents died, but more than that I am sorry that the poison of al Qaeda operatives continues to be very much alive.

If we are willing to invest the lives of our Sons and Daughters for the sake of world safety. Then we have to be aware of and willing to pay the costs of that safety. Terrorists cannot function without the permissiveness or the blindeye of the majority of the local populace. John’s life was saved in Vietnam on more than one occasion by being told , don’t go in there,don’t go thru this area or leave now by local friendly merchants or others who believed in freedom.

John and I are pacifists, although we are both quite handy with most weapons, and are both pretty damn good shots, we neither of us hunt any longer, but frankly if it comes to us or scum terrorists.
My money would be on us. Open season on terrorists, we wish. GO CIA!
