And torture is a crime these days. These people should not be afforded a quick and painless death.

To be soon abandoned by the media in favor of. "Ted Cruz has odd eyebrows" and "has KIM put on weight?".

I think he's lost a few pounds myself!

Heard the count was up to 140+ now.

That region is a lost cause. We should turn it to glass and start over.

BTW, don't they have armed guards in and around Pakistan schools? The news said this was a military run school.

How is it folks can infiltrate every armed national/local force in that area yet the nuke sections have thorough screening?!
I find that odd.

I'm okay with wiping that scum from the face of the earth.

(Reuters) - At least 132 students and nine staff members were killed on Tuesday when Taliban gunmen broke into a school in the Pakistani city of Peshawar and opened fire, witnesses said, in the bloodiest massacre the country has seen for years.

"in the bloodiest massacre the country has seen for years."

"The gunmen, who several students said communicated with each other in a foreign language, possibly Arabic, managed to slip past the school's tight security because at least some of them were wearing Pakistani military uniforms, some witnesses said"

Aha!, the old "False Uniform trick"! Popular on old episodes of Hogan's Heroes and the like. Ingenious!, who wouldn't be fooled by that?
All jokes aside, at a high risk target like a School for kid's of soldiers you'd have thought they could do better.
Makes you worry exactly who is minding the nukes and other weapons of mass destruction over there.

I believe everything is for sale over there.
I would guess some bad repercussions are on the way if those were children of soldiers

Been going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. My son and his platoon ended up pointing guns at Iraqi "policemen" when they pointed guns at other Marines. Turns out they were not "policemen" ..shocking. They were lucky to get out of that one with no shots fired.

The Taliban will be shortly. This is their entire focus in Pakistan. Already a corrupt government, it will not be long before they have the nukes, and the people to use them. Expect the next major conflict to happen there.

"directly countered recent Pakistani government assertions that the terrorist group had been crippled by an ongoing military offensive and a series of U.S. drone strikes."
