#1 With a little cooperation from the media, this disaster can be blamed on the Western relief effort.

Yeah, but what are the odds the media will go along with the lie? No more than, what, 99.999999% chance they'll spread jihadist lies?

#2 Last night one of the late network news programs said the death toll might be as high as 300,000, but no one knows the real number because of the remoteness and lack of communication.

#3 The other article I posted sez NATO's official mission runs out in February and won't be renewed. By any reckoning it's still plenty cold and snowy in Kashmir until sometime in late April, when it becomes time to slink back down the mountain and resume killing the heathen Hindoo.

#4 One can get away with insisting that if the Western relief organizations had âdone more,â then people in northern Pakistan would not be dying in large numbers from the cold weather.

Well then, had Western relief orgs done nothing at all, they'd be blameless, right? RIGHT?

#5 Last night one of the late network news programs said the death toll might be as high as 300,000, but no one knows the real number because of the remoteness and lack of communication.

Like when the town of Beaver Dam was flooded, leading to the deaths of millions. "No, we have no information on that, it's just what we're reporting."

#6 Who knows Robert. But do you have confidence that the 70-80,000 reported is complete and accurate? Helicopters are still ferrying wounded from remote villages and many have yet to be visited.

#7 it would be interesting to know the number who survived the quake but died because they were fasting during the daytime and couldn't find infidel food after sunset

#8 Not to mention all the wimmen-folk who have been forced to remain behind at deathly frozen high altitudes so as to avoid being leered at by us infidels while their courageous warrior men filter down to warmer climes and pick up free aid parcels.
