Reuters published a story today, April 4, detailing some nonsense from a Taliban terrorist who has claimed “responsibility” for Friday’s shooting rampage in Binghamtom, New York. The question that comes to mind is why? Why did Reuters imagine this idiotic claim, this obvious lie, was worth reporting to the world? Does Reuters not have the good sense God gave a door knob? Why would Reuters pass this Taliban propaganda off as news?
From Peshawar, Pakistan, Reuters reports that this Taliban leader wannabe has said that the murderous rampage perpetrated by an unhinged Vietnamese immigrant was done by his “men.” This half-wit terrorist claims that he ordered the “men” to attack the U.S. because of the use of Predator drones that have been so successful in cutting out so many of those nits in their Pakistani strongholds.
But we all know this “acceptance of responsibility” is an outright lie. We may not know why Jiverly Voong went off the deep end, but we know he had zilch to do with Pakistan. So, why did Reuters think it a story worthy of reporting? There can only be one reason.
You see by telling us the lie of Baitubooolah Meshaweazel Muhammad something-or-another who is claiming he was responsible for the rampage Reuters can also promulgate anger toward our Predator drone program that has been so successful in killing these Taliban and al Qaeda scum-bags.
Reuters knows full well the story is bunk. But if it helps turn more people against the U.S. efforts to stop Islamofascist terror, well, that is a tale worth telling.
So, the upshot here is that Reuters posted a story that it knew was a lie and a story that had no value as news at all. The only purpose it served was as anti-American propaganda.

I always wondered

The veracity of this story doesn’t pass the smell test.
The intelligence collected at Gitmo and Bagram was actionable...
rbdwiggins Saturday, April 4th at 9:42AM EDT (link)which lead to “dozens” of highly successful, although most remain classified, counter-terrorist operations, both foreign and domestic.
President Bush can not be accused of failing to connect the dots.

Journalism is Dead in the Major Media
Big Apple Infidel Saturday, April 4th at 10:25AM EDT (link)“Why did Reuters imagine this idiotic claim, this obvious lie, was worth reporting to the world?”
The media will report ANYTHING because they have no sense of balance, responsibility or ethics about reporting lies or dangerous information.
Another thing about the Binghamtom incident that hasn’t been discussed yet is the issue of multiple media outlets reporting that people were hiding inside the civic center in a boiler room and in a closet (victims were apparently communicating with the outside via cell phones). This occurred during the height of the active shooter incident. This was extremely irresponsible.
It is worth mentioning because of the known tactic, used in the recent Mumbai attacks, where the terrorists were being relayed information via cell phone from their handlers in Pakistan. This information was tactical intelligence derived from live news reports about that ongoing incident.
The media today has no concept of their own obligation to the common good.
Greetings from occupied territory!
I knew this story was bunk
zeebeach Saturday, April 4th at 8:19AM EDT (link)as soon as I read it this morning. I am still naive, however, because I didn’t figure out why it was even being reported. I still can’t get used to the constant barrage of propaganda from our MSM.
This is the same 'news' organization...
TXCHLInstructor Saturday, April 4th at 9:29AM EDT (link)… that would not use the word “terrorists” to describe the 9/11 hijackers.

Predator
zeebeach Saturday, April 4th at 9:51AM EDT (link)Has Obama mentioned yet that he’d like to discontinue using the predator? I’m sure he’d prefer to “level the playing field”.
I think
Warner Todd Huston Saturday, April 4th at 10:27AM EDT (link)I am pretty sure that Obama thought he had the Predator program fixed when he made Hillary the Sec of State.
Then he realized he didn’t have a predator drone. He had a droning predator.

Already been using it
SteveLA Saturday, April 4th at 10:34AM EDT (link)His Obamaness has already been caught using the Predator to strike targets in Pakistan, much to the displeasure of his Code Pinko fans.
Funny how evil Bush was according to the Donks when he took action to kill terrorists and how now his Obamaness when faced with all the facts of the GWOT is having to do the same.

We all know a good number of them will be more than happy to just say “okay, sounds good” and parade around in their ObamaZombie wear.
One has to give some of the Code-Pink leadership credit, they are actually speaking out against Obama as, from their line of thinking, “being as bad as Bush!” O’Reilly had the main-loon that is seen at any Code-Pink protest, Congressional sit-in, etc, I’ve ever seen, to allow her to make that point. Though, like most of you, I’m sure many Code-Stinko’s have dropped from the movement now that it is not solely an Anti-Republican thing!

Killing terrorists...a good thing
SteveLA Saturday, April 4th at 3:40PM EDT (link)His Obamaness or not, killing terrorists is a good thing, CodePinkO be darned. I will applaud his Obamness every time he goes after terrorists in Pakistan, Afghanistan or Iraq or anywhere in the world.
In my very small world view, the only good terrorist is a dead terrorist.

Taking the anti-gun thing to a new high....
JLenardDetroit Saturday, April 4th at 2:57PM EDT (link)…. with that stretch! Most of us knew/know the CRIME committed by the lunatic at the Immigration center would be used for ANTI-GUN and PRO-AMNESTY (wait for it, it is coming - the “Immigrant” angle will eventually be twisted and played up as ANTI-IMMIGRANT even though the perpetrator was an Immigrant himself - apparently “blaming” those at the Immigrant center for his “poor English skills,” one of the latest items added to the narrative and attacking those who gave their time and energy voluntarily to help him when he came from Vietnam), this was a (as Marty Johnson would say) “very interesting, but Stupid” linkage for the Taliban to even make (if they indeed even make it - if it is to question the Reports “obvious,” from our perspective, intent) who knows if this hadn’t been manufactured by some loon within the news-agency that parades around in Code-Pink garb on the weekends!?!?! Have other news agencies, or the US Government, confirmed that some LAME ATTEMPT TO LINK THEMSELVES (TALIBAN) TO THE SHOOTING?? Confirmation could/should be given from someone/somewhere else BUT WITHOUT giving any further credence to the content of the communication.
THE “COMMUNICATION” CANNOT BE CONFIRMED!!! SUSPICIOUS, ISN’T THAT — as the (Reporting by Alamgir Bitani; Writing by Kamran Haider; Editing by Robert Birsel) is based on a PHONE CALL (from an undisclosed location, probably phone call from a Lefty-loons imagination) TO RUETERS. How many people actually heard this call? and how did they have any PROOF/CONFIRMATION it really came from the Taliban!?!? Was the call reported to the NSA?
It is NOT as if this would be a Conspiracy Theory… A Conspiracy takes more than one in on it to perpetrate… One or two morons willing to just take-the-bait from another is just really-moronic group-think and a willingness to provide AID AND COMFORT TO OUR ENEMIES!
This story has no substance. The lack of any real information in it would have it BANNED here at Red State as a Diary as “SUSPICIOUS” speculation needing more substantiation.

What do you expect of Reuters?
Adjoran Saturday, April 4th at 8:07PM EDT (link)So, the upshot here is that Reuters posted a story that it knew was a lie and a story that had no value as news at all. The only purpose it served was as anti-American propaganda.
Since you apparently find this worthy of remark, I must assume you have been either in a coma or on an expedition beyond the reach of modern communications for the last ten years or so.
In either case, welcome back!
One of the many scientific advances we’ve made is the discovery that there is no intellectual, moral, or nutritional benefit to be gained by reading anything with a Reuters byline.
Oooorrrr
Warner Todd Huston Saturday, April 4th at 10:22PM EDT (link)Or you are an idiot that misses the simple fact that my job is to CHRONICLE what the media does.
What would you have everyone do? Merely ignore ALL bias merely because it has been noted before? If so, you are a dolt that is completely unaware that everyone on the planet doesn’t come to the same conclusion at the same time.
Are you so foolish as NOT to understand that new people are realizing the bias everyday? Are you so out of touch with the world that you don’t get that new people could possibly come to our side every day? Did time stop in your abstruse world?
Are you so idiotic as to imagine that all questions are settled, all people have chosen sides, and no new ears to our side could possibly be reached?
Or is it that you just want to show everyone that you think you are smarter than everyone else?

Did anyone catch this tidbit in a Fox News Story?
Kate_Shanahan Sunday, April 5th at 10:40AM EDT (link)http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,512560,00.html
“Obama has said he respects Americans’ constitutional right to bear arms, but that he favors “common sense” gun laws. Gun rights advocates interpret that as meaning he would approve of curbs on ownership of assault and concealed weapons.”
Translation: Even though these murders were committed with rifles or assault weapons, Obama favors a ban on handguns.
