~ 3 News bits

Asalam alaikum,

I have 3 news bits infront of me..

One is dated 11th apr, which goes something like this (& my.. its such a big 3 lined headline in the paper);

Top Headline of 11th

Oh boy oh boy!

59 this time?? !!

What an achievement !!

The casualty count is misreported though, as we'll see shortly inshAllah.

Also notice the emotionally charged tone of media; as in labeling & dismissing the outcry of political figures of tribes as a mere 'ilzaam' in the headline (& its almost hysterical haste to label all the slain as 'dehshat-gurd').

I've another bit infornt of me dated 18th apr.

This one goes something like this (a pretty small wee-size blot on the front page of paper);

Wee-size news post on 18th

Too bad the paid mercenaries hit their own "paid" jirga people.. & then hit the rescue teams too..
For the shame !

Reminds me of recent Iraq vid where rescue people were hit along with the kids van.. with kids inside!

I wonder though what happened to the kids of these slain tribal bread-winners & head-figures of their respective families?

Did they go all revengeful to avenge the blood of their fathers?

hmm...

I've yet another news bit of the same date when this lil so-called small apology was made, which looks something like this (a big 3 lined headline);

Main headline of 18th

tsk tsk..

& then we wonder why we are such losers & so insecure in our very homes?

41 *shaheed* ?! ..
like for real?
yeah sure, but what about the tribes-men who were 'marey gaye' & by default 'dehshat-gard' etc etc??
Answer is;
one is thought to be human.. other is dismissed & being treated as sub-human for the sake of... peanuts.

Thankyou sipah_salar_e_azaam (sic) for making us all the more secure & protected in our own provinces.

Thankyou for your 7 (long) days late apology.. (but then better late than never, init?)

Atleast it finally occurred to you that your over-ambitious, blood-thirsty lives-preserving (?) jawaans were blind all-seeing enough to differentiate sajjan from dushman..

Oh thankyou thankyou.. & now plz i feel like kissing your hand your excellency (not) !

May Allah rid us from such oppressors..

& give us hidayah & heal us from our wrapped_up_mentalities to shoot our own foot & then cry a river to the nations around... for peanuts (again).

sigh.. what have we (de)generated into?
