"Hundreds of Iraqis have died in attacks by militants opposed to the US presence and to a Shia-led government that took charge in Baghdad earlier this year. "
And they have the AUDACITY to use that "sanitized" phrase - which is so sanitized that its disconnected from reality - in this report:
At least 26 Iraqis, almost all of them children, have been killed by a car bomb in south-eastern Baghdad. A US soldier is also said to have died in the blast. Another three US soldiers are reported to have been injured. A car laden with explosives drove past a US army vehicle and blew up as troops handed out sweets, a witness said.
NOT CALLING a terrorist a terrorist (or putting the words in between quotations marks)is a display of EXACTLY the kind of BAD-THINKING which leads to BAD POLICIES such as: banning profiling; leaving borders defenseless; and "fighting with one hand behind your back."
FACT: there are many MILITANTS who DO NOT COMMIT MASS MURDER OF CHILDREN.
THOSE WHO COMMIT MASS MURDER OF INNOCENT CHILDREN ARE NOT MERELY MILITANTS; THEY ARE TERRORISTS! PEOPLE WHO COMMIT INDISCRIMINATE MASS MURDER OF SOME CHLDREN - IN ORDER TO INFLICT FEAR - ( = TERROR) - OF CONTACT WITH THE US MILITARY ON OTHER CHILDREN are NOTHING BUT TERRORISTS - BY EFFING DEFINITION!
It's time that the Left (which dominates the BBC the the UK as they do the MSM in the USA) accepted that our ENEMY in this WAR is the most brutal and evil we have EVER FACED - and that they are TERRORISTS! And it's long-passed time they stopped apologizing for the ENEMY and their EVIL CREED and either joined us - or shut-up the eff and got out of the way.
If you cannot call the folks who blow up INNOCENT CHILDREN terrorists, then you have no integrity and no courage and no business reporting the news!
I think perhaps it's time that the British government sold the BBC to al Jazeera. The BBC workers would be very comfortable there, and it would save the British taxpayers a lot of money!
I think the BBC and many "liberal minded" Brits have become too politically correct about their "terrorists". Political correctness is a communicable disease, and must be stamped out. It became obselete after 9/11.
ReplyDeleteIf Muslims are producing terrorists, they should be suspect in this society or any society. And those who abhor radical Islamists must come forth and condemn it openly.
Americans would be very unwelcome in an Islamist country if they settled there and produced large numbers of terrorists from their group.
In which case we might meet quite a different fate than being given the benefit of the doubt.
