The CIA's bombing campaign against al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan continued with two more attacks today, an indication, senior officials say, that President Barack Obama has approved the U.S. strategy that has killed at least eight of al Qaeda's top 20 leaders since July 2008.

The two attacks today in Pakistan's were the first since President Obama took office on Tuesday.
Asked about it at his daily press briefing, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, "I'm not going to discuss that matter."

During the campaign, Obama called for cross-border attacks against high-value al Qaeda targets in Pakistan, even before the CIA campaign began.
Pakistani officials and villagers told ABCNews.com that 17 people were killed in two successive strikes against compounds in North and South Waziristan.

The question is what will he do when these Muslim maggots start strapping infants onto themselves as human shields. Will he continue the policy?

Your blatant racism is appalling.

Racism? hmmm. Are these people that President Obama ordered killed yesterday, Muslims. YES

Are these People that President Obama ordered killed Maggots, In my opinion, Yes. You may call them heroic freedom fighters, but Obama and I disagree with you.

Therefore Obama killed several Muslim Maggots, what is your problem with that?

More accurately, Obama is continuing to target Al Qaeda leaders. Conflating them with all Muslims is the same as using the extremist factions of Christianity as a brush to paint the vast majority of Christians, who, like the vast majority of Muslims, Hindi, Jews and Buddhists, are peaceful and faithful people.

Thank you, Richard. I doubt he'll ever get it, though.

I did nothing of the kind Richard I pointed out correctly that these people are Muslim. True, right?

Are they or are they not adherants of Islam?

Furthermore, there is no evidence there terrorist actions are driven by anything other than their Muslim beliefs.

Apparently they did, and the attacks ordered by Obama killed some children.

Does this mean now that President Obama is a terrorist and a war criminal? Come on lefties will you dare to criticise this President?

Where in the article that you posted does it say that children were strapped onto people as human shields? Oh wait...it doesn't.

That is your response? Only an idiot would believe that I meant that terrorist were actually strapping children on to themselves. Have you ever heard of hyperbole. It is a figurative literary device that in this case was used to exaggerate the repugnant tactic of the maggot muslim terrorists to hide themselves among civilians and children.

I'm an idiot because you made a ridiculous statement? Yeah, right. Go write some fiction if you want to use hyperbole as "a figurative literary device." Hell, most of your interpretations of reality are wildly creative, so you might be good at it.

Never said you were an idiot. You would only be an idiot if you though I meant that terrorists were literally strapping on children. I do not believe you to be that stupid. Are you?

Ah, you were SO close to presenting a cogent rebuttal of the accusation that your are a racist, until you got to this.

What is your problem, first attacking Islam would not in anyway be racist? Unless you believe Islam is a race? Do you?

Second, I did not say that all Muslims are terrorists, I just said that those Muslims who are terrorists are so because of their belief in Islam.

Racist, for want of a better single-word term for those who discriminate against people on the basis of their religion.

You've made your hatred of Islam and its adherents abundantly clear more than once.

Try anti-Muslim just like anti-Nazi. I discriminate against people on the basis of their belief system. Religion is a belief sytem and if one's religion has beliefs that I find to repugnant, I will not hesitate to say so.

Then you seem to be quite ignorant when it comes to the Muslim belief system. The actual religion is a far reach from what is portrayed by terrorists and even the media. '

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it does appear like you're judging not on what their belief system is, but what you think it is because of the terrorists out there. Hating muslims because many terrorists are Muslim. Generalizing all by that does go under racism.

You are wrong, I do judge the Muslim belief system by what it actually is. It is a belief system that for example one must believe that God commands you to beat the crap out those who engage in sex outside of marriage? So to be a muslim you must believe that God commands you to beat the crap out those who engage in sex outside of marriage. I find that belief repugnant, do you?

Well it's not like Christianity isn't bloody. But that's beside the point.

I'd like to see an actual quote to back your claim first.

I hope you find the belief of Judaism and Christianity repugnant as well.

After all, they command killing people for being gay or stealing.

I just want to check to see if you are an equal-opportunity bigot.

That, and the CHILDREN murdered...how are innocent children to be considered maggots? Are they even old enough to understand religion? Maybe they'll grow up to be atheists, like me.
