KHAR, Pakistan – A female suicide bomber detonated her explosives-laden vest killing at least 41 people at an aid distribution center in northwestern Pakistan on Saturday while army helicopter gunships and artillery killed a similar number of Islamic militants in neighboring tribal regions near the Afghan border, officials said.

I see nothing in the OP that would indicate sarcasm.
I am not American and therefore have a reasonably functional sarcasm detector, but it detects none here.

Fair enough, but there are ways of wording things to indicate sarcasm and this post has none of those indicators. I don't see why I should look at his/her previous posts to try and ascertain whether the post is sarcasm or not. To most this would appear to be genuine and stating what the poster believes.
these are the resources they have to use because of the over whelming firepower of NATO or PAK Army.

What a screwed up world we live in where a suicidal and cowardice religious zealot who explodes a bomb amongst women and children is referred to as "freedom fighter" by others.
Wearing a bomb is not "fighting" and killing non combatants is not warfare. There is nothing noble or honorable about it.
Just another idiot pawn carrying out the political agendas of others.

The Islamic terrorists have been attacking the US way before we took war to their land after 911. They are attacking because that is what they do - that is their religion. We are the enemy - the great satan and have been for decades. Islamic radicals need an enemy to war against. Americans are the lucky ducky targets in this chapter of Islam's never ending tribal hate and war. Islam is never at peace and has a never ending thirst for blood and punishment. When they don't have an external target to blame, hate and kill, they kill and mutilate one another.
