Macedonia: Seven Pakistanis were killed to please US

[WanderingNomad]

Jesus! Were those guys completely crazy?? What are people/governments ready to do to get US support?


Macedonian police acknowledged on Friday that the killing of seven alleged Pakistani terrorists two years ago was staged to win US support and that the victims were innocent illegal immigrants.

First of all, the very headline of this article is unprofessional at best, disingenuous at worst:

Macedonia: Seven Pakistanis were killed to please US

There is implication in the above that the US was pleased that the Pakistanis were killed. A better journalist/editor might have led with Seven Pakistanis killed in effort to please US.

Perhaps I'm just being too picky.

Look at the source: A Pakistani newspaper. Of course they're gonna phrase everything in an anti-US way.

No, i havent even heard of that, im talking about what happened back in 1999 in Racak........The genocide committed by Serbian Christians against muslim minority?

commander,

True that.

[SerbPVO]

Thing is, it was recently proven there was NEVER any "genocide" in Racak.

I think he meant it sarcastically.
