Stealth helicopters might help with radar, but aren't much use when your target is only 400m from a Pakistani military base. If the base wasn't aware of what was going on then it was pretty incompetent of them not to investigate!

Can't see how the army base wasn't aware, this guy was apparently the first to 'tweet' about it and doesn't sound like they were that quiet either but probably just very quick:

war on terror!
 

Can't believe my replies got deleted. Anyway just to clarify, mercenaries are hired killers. When we occupy foreign countries, people will fight back. Expecting afghans, Iraqis, Irish, Palestinians to lay lay down and die while we brutally terrorize their country will never work.

Yup, there's a deletion happy moderator on the loose who deletes anything he does not agree with. Zapped a couple of mine too.

Pretty much - it was the use of Saudi to base US troops prior to the war to kick SH out of Kuwait that did it. Infidels on Saudi soil etc etc

Let the Mod do his/her job...
remember you might be reading this thread
from your own home others are on the road
maybe in inter cafe's reading this with others viewing

Eh?:confused1:

Scenario: You are sat in an internet cafe in the rough end of Jakzistan. You pop onto an "Adventure travel" site to see if anyone else is going in your direction. Some fool who doesn't actually own a passport and thinks Mexicans and Canadians have two heads has posted a video of himself chanting U-S-A while stamping on a picture of Osama Bin Laden and drinking sex-in-a-canoe "beer". Some kid sitting at the next screen sees this and is waiting for you outside with twelve of his mates and a few flaming torches.

This does seem pretty unlikely in that when travelling you'd tend to stick to other parts of this site (and avoid the other one where our video poster is more likely to hang out all together) same as you'd avoid expressing an opinion on anything religious or political unless you knew the other people well and wouldn't be overheard. It is still a valid point though, I once stayed in a hotel in either Morocco or Algeria and a guy I half knew was reading some sort of spy novel. The huge US flag on the front cover was getting him some funny looks given they were bombing Iraq at the time.

Shouldn't this thread be in the bar unless people on the ground are seeing a reaction to what happened?
