16 million to go? 6:44:53 AM by Leep

Minister of Border and Tribal Affairs Asadullah Khalid, who is investigating the incident, said the soldier entered three homes, killing 11 people in the first one.

Not good enough source, because muslim=liar 7:27:46 AM by ScottinVA

Bust him to Corpral and award a good conduct medal. 7:32:33 AM by BigCinBigD

The cover story is this soldier left the barracks on his own early in the morning and began his “rampage”. The media will crucify this guy and the President will hang him out to dry. Hell they will probably call him a terrorist since its an attack on Muslims. 7:32:40 AM by eak3

They don’t like it when they get a taste of their own medicine I see...7:33:51 AM by Quickgun

...it could be Obama himself planting somebody there with orders to do something like this to further enrage the Afghanistanis 7:40:52 AM by butterdezillion

That's 6 out of the first 21 posts in the thread. Not atypical of the site, I'm sad to say.

1. They like to throw gasoline on fires

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. after which they blame Obama for the resulting gas shortage

and increased prices at the station.

[lunatica]

14. And the fire too

[ChairmanAgnostic]

16. and the resulting smoke damage and

angry feelings.

Who could have imagined that pushing racist and sexist policies could backfire? Really? If only we had their seat assignments and flight numbers . . . . ah, where's Condi when you really need her.

2. how many virus scans

do your run after being there? do you wash down/wipe down with hospital grade sanitizer your keyboard? did you drain the hot water tank taking a shower to clean up after going there? you really really took one for team being in that fetid swamp

[ChairmanAgnostic]

7. heh heh heh

Which is why my computer refuses to go there.

[Dirty Socialist]

4. That's American Exceptionalism for Ya

Exempt from civilization.

[CJCRANE]

5. To be honest, I'd almost be worried

if the freepers reacted to it in a calm and rational way.

They're the guys who put the FR into frothing at the mouth.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

6. Horrible.

A number of the victims were children. These are suppose to be the people who are all about the "sanctity of life". They hate abortion but shooting a defenseless child is a-ok with them.


Disgusting pieces of "human" trash!

9. The moderators at FR are frantically deleting posts on that thread as I type this.

But in the meantime:

Most likely it was justified as a part of a war 9:04:29 AM by b4its2late

...we should just destroy their entire infrastructure from the air and lift not a finger to help them out of their squalor and insanity.

Hire mercenaries and issue letters of marque and reprisal against their shipping. Assassinate any abusive leaders, blockade their ports, allow no air traffic in or out of their countries. Jam their communications non-stop. Disconnect their fiber links to the net. Destroy their bridges and major roadways. 9:12:06 AM by Bobalu

The policy you advocate is called “reduction of the enemy”. It’s a good one. 9:32:18 AM by headsonpikes

Afghanistan shouldn’t even exist. It should be turned into a parking lot. 9:42:11 AM by APatientMan

And in other threads on the subject:

THE SOLDIER MUST BE BROUGHT HOME and we must defend him. 7:58:04 AM by huldah1776

God forgive me, but my first reaction was “a good start.” 7:26:13 AM by sand lake bar

Ditto. Except it should have been at a mosque filled with American hating mullas, propaganda spewing media and rioters getting ready to protest and the guy should have been a forward artilley spotter firing for effect or FAO directing a B-1 with a nuke to Mecca for a double sunrise. 8:30:46 AM by Dick Vomer

Can you say “glass the whole area”? 9:27:23 AM by rktman

Pay back is a bitch!!!! 9:31:32 AM by Robe

All right. Good for him. 9:21:17 AM by bigheadfred

8. FR defending and praising a mass-murderer. USA! USA! USA!

Unreal.

[Arkansas Granny]

10. And don't forget that it's all Obama's fault.

[Turbineguy]

11. It's breathing the air

in their mothers basements. It gives them the courage to post on the internets.

[Comrade Grumpy]

12. These big-talking Freepers should enlist: Sign-up or shut-up.

[lunatica]

13. This is one time I say thank you for not providing a link

But I do hope you took a shower before you came here. Coodies you know...

[Nevernose]

15. It's like a list of attendents

It reads like a list of attendents at the upcoming 2012 convention for members of the Compensating for Tiny Little Dicks Society.
