I do not believe I have heard anyone in authority in the U.S.A., I.S.A.F. or N.A.T.O. saying these drone attacks are the handiwork of God's purpose. The enemy do this all the time.<br /><br />The numbers of known Taliban leadership and other Islmofascists killed by drones is now a very long one*. It is cliamed the average term of 'service' for the high and middle level ranks of jihad in Afghanistan and neighbouring North western Pakistan is around six months.<br /><br />* The Taliban news organisation reports these deaths regularly as evidence of 'martyrdom'. Apparently, in ideological terms the more of them that are killed the closer they are to achieving 'God's will'.Anton Dequehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07076828639042541217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36841665.post-91498094975580307002012-11-06T08:07:24.226+00:002012-11-06T08:07:24.226+00:00A good post.A good post.Bob-Bnoreply@blogger.com
