Al Qaeda No. 2: We don't kill innocents
Anti-government militants caused 422 of the recorded civilian casualties while government or foreign troops killed 255 people, according to the UN numbers. The cause of 21 deaths was unclear.

"On 21 September 2001, the Taliban responded that if the United States could bring evidence that bin Laden was guilty, they would hand him over, stating there was no evidence in their possession linking him to the 11 September attacks."
"This counter offer was immediately rejected by the U.S. as insufficient."
If the US were to target civilians that place would already be levelled and finished, you know it. Those military over there were sent there to protect you and your way of life , your freedom.

Why is it that the media claims Al-qaeda kills civilians intentionally and call them terrorists when they know that their intel is very weak therefore deemed to kill civilians here and there (accidentally).
Secondly Al-qaeda does not have guided missiles, jets with guided missiles or any precise targeting weapons therefore are once again in a huge disadvantage compare to the US yet still the western force in Afghanistan has still managed to kill more than one quarter of all civilian deaths since the start of 2008.

That's about the dumbest thing I've heard all week.
That still means that
A. They were responsible for 3/4 of the civilian deaths. Which is still three times more than the US and the west caused.
and
B. Since they did not have all those high tech weapons that fired at a target from great distances or guided missiles that meant they had to be up close and personal sometimes almost face to face and they knew who they were killing.

And have you compared the two forces? The advantages and disadvantages? For example wrong Intel bombs town and obliterates a town even though America has one of the best Intelligent agencies in the world.
Now that means they will resort to suicide bombing which they have. Most innocent casualties have been caused by suicide bombings which is similar to those Jets, Missiles etc etc. They don't have a plane, but they have a car, they don't have a missile, but they have home made rockets etc etc

Now Al-Qaeda has clearly said that they don't kill innocent intentionally, now just by saying that makes them a non-terroristic organization because we can never know someones intentions.

It ever occur to you that perhaps Al Qaida has a different definition of innocent?
Think about that one.

Are you really that dense? The Taliban speak the language and fit right in. They know the country better than any western force. Give me a break they are at a disadvantage?
No that means they find somebody stupid enough to carry out their attacks etc etc. As the coward leaders go home to SWAT across the border in Pakistan to recruit more people who are poor and stupid enough to believe their bull etc etc.
Note also , many of these so called suicide bombings are not necessarily the work of so called jihardists , as those of you that remember the case in 2005 of the two british members of the special reconnaissance regiment (SAS) who were caught in Basra disguised as arabs and carrying a car bomb. This is a known british tactic , and documented by Colonel Frank Kitson regarding it's use in Kenya by the british in the 1950's.
