Taliban launches brazen attack on U.S. base



The above is in reference to a story involving Taliban troops being slaughtered wholesale due to being terrible fighters, and in the process wounding two Afghan soldiers and two girls. Dozens of them were killed.

A normal headline, unbiased, might read "Taliban Troops Suffer Heavy Losses Attacking U.S. Base."


But no, instead any passers by - especially those with a slant against the US presence to begin with - will only see that the Taliban is brazenly attacking US bases. Oh that brazen Taliban.


-.-

Replace brazen with dumb or suicidal and it works nicely.

meat puppets...


Well... the media is getting it's comeupence. Big media is suffering across the board.


The more money they hemorrhage the less power they'll have. Eventually they won't be able to run that kind of filth.


I like to think of this like a dangerous animal flaying around as it slowly dies... Keep it up bitches... by sun down we eat meat.


*sharpens teeth*


As to the taliban, they're getting their asses kicked everywhere... and Iraq is finally getting it's shit together... despite Iran doing all it can to fuck things up...

Meh, it's as I said in the beginning... years ago... We have the power to do it so long as we don't pussy out.

Yeah... that wouldn't start WW3 or anything... :fag:


For a follow up we could all put guns in our mouths and pull the trigger.

not before they nuked the crap out of us as well...


We are a super power but there are for better or worse limits to that power.


Besides... I don't think we actually want to kill the other 90 percent of the human species off...

I don't want to die though... and I kind of like the way my city looks... that is... I don't think it would be improved by some giant radioactive craters...
