American Terror Attack???
In one of my earlier posts I ranted about Iran and spouted a conspiracy theory that I thought was funny. It was a joke. I was being silly. However, this rant is no joke and it is not my intention to amuse anyone.
Last week an air strike attacked the village of Damadola, in Pakistan. It is being reported that three different houses were destroyed and eighteen people were killed in the attack. It is believed that four of the dead were foreigners to the region, the rest were locals. The remains of the four foreigners were removed from the scene before being identified. It is believed that the target of the attack was Ayman al-Zawahiri, who is believed to be a prominent al-Qaeda leader. The attack was made on private residences. Witnesses claim that the attacks were made by jets and/or unmanned Predator drones. The Predator has been used in Afghanistan by US forces.
Did the US attack the village of Damadola to eliminate al-Qaeda members? Other than eye witness accounts, where villagers say they saw was a Predator drone launching missiles, there is nothing that proves the US carried out the attack. The US has not denied conducting the attack. I seem to remember a story from a few months back that the US traded/sold arms with Pakistan. I do not mean to imply that the US was framed for the attack, but I think it is a good idea to always consider more than one possibility.
The facts are that there was an attack last Friday in Pakistan. Missiles destroy three homes. Eighteen people died in the attack. Four of the dead were removed from the scene.
It is believed (different from facts, educated guesses at best) that at least four of the people who died were members of the terror group al-Qaeda. It is believed that the US attacked the village.
It is possible that if Predator drones were sold or lost and recovered then a third party could use one in an attack and make it appear that the US was responsible (there is no proof that the US is being framed, if it was being framed then state department would probably deny the attack, which is hasn't).
If the US did attack the village in an attempt to assassinate suspected al-Qaeda terrorists and innocent people were killed in the attack does that make the US guilty of terrorist acts? Isn't terrorism the use of force with the intention to murder and cause fear?
How do you see it?

While it would seem that Pakistan has a lot to loose if it owns up to nailing AQ people on its own turf, one would think that if the US was "innocent" on this one, they would protest.
I agree, if the US was innocent I am sure it would be trying to convince everyone that it was. I doubt it would be able to convince anyone outside of the "red states", but that is what happens when you start wars over false WMDs. However, it is possible that the US could be covering for somebody. Hmmmmmm.
Like...who?
