#2 Hey, Afghan winters are cold, and fuel is scarce. Have to burn SOMETHING to keep warm.

#3 even trade: they burn an Afghan school, we bomb a Paki Madrassah to rubble, and bounce the rubble, then napalm the crumbs

#4 Yeah, Frank. Napalm. I had forgotten about that stuff - if they're so cold and short of fuel they feel the need to burn schools, we could give them some napalm to warm up with instead. Air mail delivery.

#5 "insurgents"? Obviously it must've been a heavily fortified military target otherwise they were attacking civilians and there's a different word for people who do that.

#6 So true, BPiB, so true! Of course, this is a Qatari paper, so I was actually expecting the NY Slimes or AP or Rooters by your comment.

#7 I'm seeing an outsourcing opportunity for some Paki "insurgents" to torch a bunch of Qatari kindergartens.
