Oh no – looks like those bad Americans have “killed dozens” in north-west Pakistan. Any bets it is another wedding party? Love the way the BBC leaves the nature of the “dozens” allegedly killed vague in the headline. I suppose “killed dozens of our enemies” would be too judgemental?
God forbid the US has taken out dozens of Jihadi vermin before they could try and kill our soldiers…
NOT ANOTHER WEDDING PARTY?

Good point David. Rather than celebrating the success of our allies against suicide bombers and the forces of Islamofascism, al-BBC undermines them.
The BBC seems to be in a competition with al-Jazeera for spreading Islam around the globe.
If it said the Americans had killed dozens in north west England I'd be happier. Taking out Blackburn or Manchester would kill more Taliban for sure.
Martin,
That's fine, but please let them leave Morecambe alone.
Craig: Many Muzzie's there?
Martin: Not really. Very few Uighurs especially, as we have a significant Han Chinese population.
Craig: you're probably safe from the laser targeting system then 🙂
Though it might not be clear in the headline, it's clear in the first couple of paragraphs that it was a part of a successful attack against "militants".
This one's two easy David.
Why do you think it says 'dozens'? Maybe the BBC should have send reporters into areas where only US drones can go, sneaked into the stronghold of Pakistan's top Taliban commander, Baitullah Mehsud and counted the body parts?
'Kills dozens' probably comes from the 'local officials'.The first line of the article starts 'Up to 50 suspected militants have been killed'. Perhaps that was updated since your Blog, but that justs goes to show how you get it so wrong, so often by jumping to an unsubstantiated conclusion.
I don't have any reason to doubt the article's statements below but they are hardly the words of a broadcaster in dhimmitude to Islamofacism:
'It has been one of the Taliban's deadliest days since the drone campaign began last August.'
'Our correspondent says the increased number of drone attacks has caused a great deal of insecurity among the Pakistan Taliban commander's fighters.'
'The Pakistan Taliban has claimed responsibility for numerous suicide bombings and other attacks which have killed scores inside the country.'
A lot of this blog is a fantasy in your own head. It's made even more absurd by Martin's predilection for rent boys. Reading the QT/Harriet Harman post was like looking at some of those 9/11 conspiracies.
Apologies, spelling 'too' as 'two' is almost unforgiveable, it won't happen again, and the others.

So what was the Harman / Dimbleby thing about ?
Anon: So what nationality is your rent boy?

Er yes they should as they are the ones claiming get to the heart of the news!, and the bbc seem more than happy to ring up members of the Taliban and talk to them over the phone !
BBC site does NOT carry this Pakistan report, ignoring the support of Islamic regimes for Islamic jihadists.
'Telegraph'
"Pakistan must take action over terror, says India "
[Opening extract]:
"New Delhi has called on Pakistan to take action to prevent any more terrorist attacks on India following the admission by President Asif Zardari that his country had 'created and nurtured' Islamic terrorist groups.
By Dean Nelson, South Asia Editor.
( 09 Jul 2009.)
"Shashi Tharoor, the External Affairs minister, said Mr Zardari's statement had clarified what India had long believed – that Islamabad's had armed and trained terrorists to launch cross-border attacks.
"In an interview with The Daily Telegraph earlier this week, Mr Zardari revealed that such groups – believed to include Lashkar-e-Taiba, which killed more than 170 people when it attacked Mumbai last November, and Jaish-e-Mohammed – had been regarded as 'strategic assets' but said they no longer had any support within Pakistan's establishment."
BBC: 'Move along there; nothing to see here. Now where were we, about the 'News of the World'.'
John,
'So what was the Harman / Dimbleby thing about ?'
If you can't see it yourself I aint about to take tghe time to explain it.

I don't have one Martin, what nationality is yours? Or is it just a fantasy?
Anon suggests the BBC should have that info. So even though no other news agency nor the US or British military can gain access, and even though it would mean certain death, the BBC should sneak in to Taleban areas just so it can tell you whether 30 or 40 or 50 Taleban died? Sorry, were killed?
I think we'll have to disagree on that one, but it's got fuck all to do with bias.
'and the bbc seem more than happy to ring up members of the Taliban and talk to them over the phone !'
Yeah, of course they should. What's the problem? The news always should.
