British Politicians Mourn The Death Of A Diabolical Terrorist




It's only been about a day and a half since the news came out that the diabolical terrorist who masterminded the plot to bring numerous passenger aircraft down over the Atlantic had been killed in a U.S. drone operation in Pakistan, and already the spineless wonders of Britain's parliament are whining and declaring foul as to the killing of a "British subject." This is madness and quite frankly, is a perfect portrait of why Britain is soon to become the first Western country to become a subject of Islam's Caliphate. The article here at Times Online is actually very good with a good back ground on Rashid Rauf and how the intelligence networks of America, Pakistan and Europe worked together to find this piece of shit but the sections about the outcry in Britain are astounding to me. Here's some of the lunacy:



A British terror suspect was killed by US forces in Pakistan yesterday. MPs want to know: did they tell Britain first?

The attack has alarmed some MPs who say it raises important questions about Britain’s co-operation with America in the war on terror. MPs have been probing the role of MI5 and other agencies in Pakistan, following allegations that MI5 officers may have supplied questions to Pakistani intelligence officers who subsequently tortured detainees.
Andrew Dismore, the Labour chairman of the parliamentary committee on human rights, said he would be referring the matter to the committee for possible investigation.
“This is a very serious matter, particularly if the attack was based on intelligence provided by the British security agencies. We can investigate whether British security services had involvement in providing intelligence concerning British nationals in Pakistan. I anticipate this is a matter the committee might like to follow up.
“If there is any suggestion of complicity of the UK security services in this particular incident then that is certainly something we would want to take into account in our work on this subject.”
Patrick Mercer, the Tory MP for Newark and former shadow security minister, said Rauf’s killing raised serious issues. “This raises the question of how much co-operation the British intelligence agencies provided in what is ultimately the execution of a British subject. The government must explain its involvement and its future policy in this area.”

So let me be sure I have this straight. British MP's are all up in arms because technically Rauf was a British citizen and that no one in the world has the right to kill a British citizen - even if Rauf had already been arrested for masterminding the terror plots in Britain and had escaped from officials in Pakistan. Perhaps these British MP's are clamoring for the fact that Rauf should not have been attacked so he could have masterminded a new plot that would have killed thousands of Western civilians?

The British government is infested with these spineless wonders. These fools have allowed their country to spiral down militarily to the point that the Iranians even dominated them in a world stage. They have no bloody air force left. They have only a shadow of what was once the premier navy in the world. And the whole time, they have their own Brit soldiers fighting their asses off in Afghanistan while these Harry Reid-like cowards in Parliament criticize the tactics that have accomplished what their troops are in essence dying for right now in the mountains of Afghanistan. Disgusting.



Hunt for Rashid Rauf that ended with hellfire

RAUF’S apparent killing is just one part of a wider assault by America on the tribal areas, with at least 20 such attacks having taken place since the summer. Like the previous strikes, this one was planned by a special unit from the CIA’s counter-terrorism centre, with the logistics carried out by military commanders based in Bahrain and Kuwait.
The attacks were stepped up earlier this year following the visit of CIA director Michael Hayden and other high-ranking US security officials to Pakistan. Under a deal agreed with the country’s then president, Pervez Musharraf, the US would have virtually unrestricted authority to attack border areas in the country. Pakistan would then officially deny any knowledge of the attacks and publicly condemn them for domestic political purposes.
The new strategy is based on an assessment that the next major Al-Qaeda attack on the West will originate from the country’s tribal areas. It was this assessment that is thought to be behind a warning issued three months ago by Lord West, the security minister, that: “There is another great plot building up again and we are monitoring this.”
The new intensity of American attacks followed the approval this summer by President George W Bush of more relaxed rules of engagement for American forces in the area. Previously the Pentagon required “90%” confidence that a “high-value target” was at a location before approving a Predator strike. Now that threshold was dropped to 50%-60%.
However, even British commanders are wary of their effectiveness, given the resentment they produce among locals. One has described them as “utter madness”.
They seem likely to continue. Barack Obama, the US president-elect, has vowed to step up the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, the Al-Qaeda leader, regardless of borders.
Bruce Riedel, a counter- terrorism expert and adviser to Obama, spoke approvingly of this weekend’s mission. “Rauf epitomises the Pakistan-UK connection that Al-Qaeda is trying to exploit to attack Britain and the United States,” he said. “He also has ties to Kashmiri terror groups closely aligned with Al-Qaeda.”
