"Suspected US missile strikes in Pakistan kill 8" by Rohan Sullivan, Associated Press Writer | June 18, 2009
ISLAMABAD --Suspected U.S. missiles pounded militant hideouts Thursday in the tribal belt near Afghanistan where Pakistani troops are building up for a major offensive against the country's top Taliban leader.
They are never suspected "suicide" bombers, are they?
The strikes, which killed at least eight people and were described by Pakistani officials and witnesses as coming from unmanned drone aircraft, appeared not to be directly connected to Pakistan's preparations in South Waziristan.
But they came as Pakistan's military on Thursday continued its own airstrikes and shelling, which for days has pummeled suspected militant positions ahead of an expected attack by ground forces.
NO WONDER the PAPER has been so QUIET about Pakistan lately.
If it ain't a "suicider" or a "car bomb," then FORGET IT!
The military said it had killed another 34 militants in its separate, seven-week-old offensive against the Taliban in the Swat Valley region.
MORE BLOOD on YOUR HANDS, 'bamer!
Washington strongly backs Pakistan's recent efforts to confront the Taliban head-on after years of failed offensives and unsuccessful peace deals. But officials on both sides have been careful to avoid suggestions America is directly involved in any military campaign -- something that triggers nationalist anger in Pakistan.
Why should we worry if W ARE THE GOOD and THEY are 'terrorist" Taliban, huh? Yeah, I am sick of the MSM s*** shovel!
Pakistan says the operation against Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud in South Waziristan is in its preparatory stages only, and its attacks on militant strongholds are in retaliation for militant attacks on security forces.
Yeah, Mehsud, another dead guy!!!!
Officials have conceded Pakistan is coordinating with U.S. forces in Afghanistan about cutting off potential escape routes into Afghanistan for al-Qaida and Taliban fighters who are believed to have made bases in the tribal region.
In Thursday's suspected U.S. strikes, Shahab Ali Shah, the top administrative official in South Waziristan, said missiles hit close to the villages of Gharlamai and Nandaran.
Two Pakistani intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media, said a training center of Taliban commander Malang Wazir between the two villages was the target, and that nine people were killed.
I simply no longer believe mass-murdering governments and enabling msm no matter what they say.
Yes, I believe missiles were fired and people killed, but that's about it.
Two other intelligence officials, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said four missiles were fired at two sites. They put the casualties at eight dead and about two dozen wounded.
Sounds like OVERKILL, doesn't it?
Ali Khan Wazir, a shopkeeper, said drone aircraft had been flying over the area for hours before the explosions. He said Taliban vehicles were seen rushing to the scenes.
To FIND THEIR LOVED ONES no doubt!!!!
U.S. missiles fired from drones have repeatedly struck South Waziristan, most recently on Sunday after nearly a one-month lull. The strikes have generated a backlash over civilian casualties. Washington rarely confirms or denies the attacks.
Again, the contradictory signals and mixed messages show you what s*** we get for media, world.
The highly anticipated operation in South Waziristan is seen as a potential turning point in the yearslong and sometimes halfhearted fight against militancy in Pakistan. It could also help curb Taliban attacks on Western forces in Afghanistan.
Which turning pont is that? The 8,476,292nd one?
It comes on the heels of a similar operation in the Swat Valley, but fighting in the lawless tribal region will likely be the toughest yet for Pakistan's military, testing both its combat capability and the government's will to see it through.

Yup, HOW MANY BUCKETS of their own innocent citizens blood will sate Obama's bloodlust?

The Swat offensive is winding down, commanders say, with more than 1,300 militants and 100 soldiers killed. A humanitarian crisis remains, with more than 2 million people displaced by the fighting and more than 230,000 of them living in refugee camps.
TRY OVER 3 MILLION, you corner-cutting propagandists!
International agencies say the emergency could become much worse if there is a further exodus from Waziristan.
And THERE IS -- even as the WAR-PUSHING PAPER keeps it QUIET!!!
Martin Mogwanja, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Pakistan, said it was not known how bad the refugee situation was in Waziristan because it was too dangerous for most aid workers to go there, but agencies are preparing for an exodus as the offensive takes off.
So can you imagine how it is for the PEOPLE who LIVE THERE?
"Any civilian population who is caught in the vicinity of a military conflict is exposed to great danger," Mogwanja told reporters in Islamabad.
You got a great grasp of the obvious, you know that?
"Every effort has to be made by those engaged in a conflict to protect innocent civilians, to ensure they do not come into harms way, and that every opportunity is given to civilians to move to safe areas."
Pffft!
If that was true they would NOT BE ATTACKING THEM because of OUR LIES!!!!
And LOOK at what my PAPER CUT!
Convoys of tanks and heavy equipment have been moving into nearby towns this week, and the stream of residents leaving the region in fear of being caught in the fighting has intensified, local officials say.
Yeah, NO NEED to PUT THAT in the paper for UNINFORMED AmeriKan minds!!!!!
And ABOUT that TALIBAN:
How many times I gotta put this up?
"Something of a catchall term for loosely affiliated insurgents without a singular command structure. Often, the Afghan government favors the phrase 'enemies of the state' (New York Times July 24, 2007)."
"The Taliban is growing and creating new alliances not because its sectarian religious practices have become popular, but because it is the only available umbrella for national liberation," says Pakistani historian and political commentator Tariq Ali. "As the British and the Soviets discovered to their cost in the preceding two centuries, Afghans never like being occupied."

"More and more, people here look back to the era of harsh Taliban rule from 1996 to 2001, describing it as a time of security and peace."

"The U.S. government was well aware of the Taliban's reactionary program, yet it chose to back their rise to power in the mid-1990s. The creation of the Taliban was "actively encouraged by the ISI and the CIA," according to Selig Harrison, an expert on U.S. relations with Asia. "The United States encouraged Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to support the Taliban, certainly right up to their advance on Kabul," adds respected journalist Ahmed Rashid. When the Taliban took power, State Department spokesperson Glyn Davies said that he saw "nothing objectionable" in the Taliban's plans to impose strict Islamic law, and Senator Hank Brown, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Near East and South Asia, welcomed the new regime: "The good part of what has happened is that one of the factions at last seems capable of developing a new government in Afghanistan." "The Taliban will probably develop like the Saudis. There will be Aramco [the consortium of oil companies that controlled Saudi oil], pipelines, an emir, no parliament and lots of Sharia law. We can live with that," said another U.S. diplomat in 1997."
We can "LIVE WITH THAT?"

"Pakistan's offensive opens new forum for militants: refugee camps
Clearing out Islamic hard-liners is tough enough on the battlefield. Yet even as Pakistan's Army wraps up operations to clear the Taliban from Swat Valley, religious groups with militant ties or sympathies have set up shop among the war's refugees – and are winning popular support with their truckloads of aid. Among the organizations providing relief is the Falah-e-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF), the charity wing of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the banned militant group blamed for last November's Mumbai (Bombay) attacks.
"Pakistani jets bomb militants; Military planning to shift operations to northwest" by Asif Shahzad, Associated Press | June 23, 2009
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Militants used mortars, rockets, and an anti-aircraft gun to attack military positions in northwestern Pakistan yesterday, then were pummeled in response by air strikes that killed at least 25 people, officials said.
Yup, SAME OLD, SAME OLD BULLS*** PROPAGANDA about ATTACKS and RESPONSE!!
It was the latest violence in the tribal region near Afghanistan ahead of a major military offensive against Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud, who is accused of ordering a campaign of suicide attacks as part of an insurgency to destabilize the government.
Want to find Mehsud? Good luck!
Spokesman Major General Athar Abbas yesterday offered the most detailed information yet about the military’s goals for the operation against Mehsud in South Waziristan, which could also be a hiding place of Al Qaeda and Afghan Taliban leaders....
I'm sorry, I can't eat any more media s***!
Washington supports anti-militant operations, seeing them as a measure of nuclear-armed Pakistan’s resolve in taking on a growing insurgency.
Yup, now they gotta work the NUCLEAR-ARMED into the stock paragraph.
So what's next a BIN-LADEN REFERENCE!?
The battle in the tribal region could also help the war in Afghanistan because the area has been used by militants to launch cross-border attacks on coalition troops there.
Oh, they are soooo hoping, aren't they, with their double-talking, double-crossing bulls***!
Daily bombing runs and artillery barrages have been softening militant targets for about a week, Abbas said, and the “pre-positioning’’ of ground troops in South Waziristan has been completed.
Is this stuff making you sick?
Early yesterday morning, militants attacked three military bases in South and North Waziristan, five intelligence officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk with media. Their reports could not be confirmed because of a lack of access to the conflict zones.
But the paper will report it as fact anyway.
How come "suiciders" never have to be qualified?
The intelligence officials said security forces responded with artillery and air strikes against militant targets in at least seven villages, including a suspected training camp where 19 people were killed.
Somebody TURN OVER that BROKEN RECORD!!!!!!
Three women and three children died when the house of a local tribal leader was hit in the Razmak area, one official said.
Yeah, but we/they are STRIKING MILITANTS!! Need I even type it, readers?
The military is trying to avoid civilian casualties, worried about a public backlash at a time when support for a crackdown on extremism has been gathering strength....
Have you HAD ENOUGH LIES YET?!
See: Pakistan Losing Public Support Against Taliban
My God!!!
Oh, you wanna AVOID CIVILIAN CASUALTIES?
STOP SENDING ROCKETS in there, dumb f***s!!!!!!
In other violence in the northwest yesterday, three civilians were killed when militants fired a rocket in Bannu district on the North Waziristan border, said police official Tajammal Shah. And two schools were blown up near Peshawar, and Khar in the Bajur area. No injuries were reported.
Oh, "Al-CIA-Duh" do those?
Elsewhere, a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into a police checkpoint in the Batgram district bordering Swat, killing two people, and wounding four, police official Shad Mohammad Khan said.
No qualification needed, 'eh, MSM?
Abbas said almost 1,600 militants have been killed in the two-month-old offensive in Swat and more than 100 troops have died. He said the military was checking reports that Swat Taliban leader Maulana Fazlullah and other militant commanders had been injured. “We need evidence,’’ Abbas said. “A consistent targeting is being done of the main leadership.’’
--more--"
So HOW MUCH MASS-MURDER is ENOUGH!!!??
"Assassination in Pakistan exposes rifts among Taliban; Tribal zone target of suspected US missile strikes" by Paul Alexander, Associated Press | June 24, 2009
Displaced Pakistanis who fled fighting between government security forces and Taliban militants returned yesterday to their homes in Buner. (M. Mohsin/Associated Press)
Oh, what we are putting those lovely people through over a lie.
ISLAMABAD - A Taliban faction leader who was seen as the chief rival to the militant group’s Pakistani head was fatally shot yesterday, reportedly by one of his own guards.
Oh, an INSIDE JOB, CUI BONO CASE!
The attack on Qari Zainuddin appeared to be a sign that divisions within the Taliban have broken into the open as they come under military assault. The army is clearing out militants from the Swat Valley and has been pounding strongholds of Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud in the South Waziristan tribal region bordering Afghanistan in apparent preparation for a major offensive.
Translation: CIA ASSASSINS KILLED HIM in a PSYOP!!!
The guy was CHALLENGING OUR ASSETS and NEEDED to be ELIMINATED!!!!
The tribal zone was also hammered by suspected US missile strikes, which targeted a purported Taliban training center and then hours later hit a funeral procession for some of those killed in the earlier strike.
O, SACRILEGE!!
We BOMBED a FUNERAL PROCESSION because they wre TALIBAN???
Remote bombing: US drone kills 65 in S. Waziristan
Is U.S. Trying To Save Agent Mehsud?
Why not? He's a USEFUL PATSY -- even if DEAD!!
Two intelligence officials said up to 60 people were killed - including Sangeen Khan, a top aide to Mehsud - and 60 more wounded. The military said it had no information on the attack, and it was impossible to independently verify the information because the area is dangerous and restricted to outsiders.
But if it is a "suicider," well -- NO QUALIFIERS NEEDED, right, jewsmedia?
In the first strike, three suspected US missiles hit the training center in the village of Najmarai in the Makeen area of South Waziristan, said the two intelligence officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Are you SURE it wasn't a SCHOOL?
Hours later, four more missiles blasted into the evening funeral procession. “I saw three drones, they dropped bombs,’’ said Sohail Mehsud, a resident of Makeen, which is the home district of Baitullah Mehsud.
Translation: Obama is a MASS-MURDERING WAR CRIMINAL!!
Go on, 'bamer, PICK up the HAT BUSH LET YOU!!!!!
Dozens of such strikes have been carried out in the tribal regions over the last year. US officials concede they have been using drone-fired missiles to target suspected militants in Pakistan, but they do not comment on individual strikes.
I will: 60 drone hits kill 14 al-Qaeda men, 687 civilians
Zainuddin was gunned down in the nearby town of Dera Ismail Khan. He had emerged as Mehsud’s chief rival and had criticized the militant leader over attacks that killed civilians....
And the U.S. COULDN'T ALLOW THAT!!!!
Mahmood Shah, a former top security official, said the slaying sends a strong message to the government that it needs to launch a strong, comprehensive operation to eliminate Mehsud, described as the center of gravity for much of the terrorist activity in Pakistan.
And CUI BONO, readers?
WHO is APPLAUDING and ENCOURAGING the operation?
Oh, STINK!!!!!!
Instead, Shah said, the government has relied on “local efforts’’ by Mehsud’s opponents like Zainuddin. “Baitullah Mehsud has overcome all tribal dynamics. He has resources, funding, and a fighting force to strike anywhere in Pakistan,’’ Shah said, calling him a front man for Al Qaeda....
Oh, I HAVE NO DOUBT about THAT -- as well as the fact that he is STONE-COLD DEAD!!!!!
Zainuddin was estimated to have about 3,000 armed followers in Dera Ismail Khan and nearby Tank. Earlier this month, he denounced Mehsud for recent attacks that have killed civilians - apparently launched in retaliation for the army offensive in the northwestern Swat Valley.
“Whatever Baitullah Mehsud and his associates are doing in the name of Islam is not a jihad, and in fact it is rioting and terrorism,’’ Zainuddin said after a mosque suicide bombing attack, blamed on Mehsud, killed 33 people. “Islam stands for peace, not for terrorism.’’
Oh, yeah, the U.S. HAD to GET THIS GUY!!!!!
AHEM!!!!
"Mossad-Taliban whistleblower killed in Pakistan
"A tribal leader who earlier defected from Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud and revealed the militants group's ties with the US and Israel has been shot dead."
Sigh. Who ya gonna believe?
Zainuddin’s motive for criticizing Mehsud was not clear, but there was speculation that he was trying to portray himself as a more moderate alternative to the Taliban leader, although there appeared to be little or no differences between the two over fighting US and NATO forces in Afghanistan.
The ELABORATE TALES and STORIES the MSM comes up with, 'eh?
All "speculation," too, huh? Pffffffftttt!!!
Daily bombing runs and artillery barrages have been softening up militant targets in South Waziristan for about a week and ground troops have moved into position, the military says, though it says the main offensive has not yet started.
Actually, it SURE the HELL SOUNDS LIKE it HAS!!!!
And why did that paragraph seem familiar (see above artcile, right)?
Meanwhile, five suspected aides of Mehsud were arrested yesterday in Karachi after an encounter with police, while six others escaped, police official Raja Omar Khatab said. The men are accused of involvement in criminal activity to generate funds for Mehsud, Khatab said.
So he's running drugs for the CIA is he? A dead guy?
One almost can't wait for what horse s*** the paper will bring us tomorrow -- although, I CAN if it means NO MISSILES FIRED or BOMBS DROPPED!!
Got that, 'BAMER!!!!
"The irony here is sadly amazing. The militants' charities and other Islamic charities can get food and supplies into the camps, where the Pakistani military and government agencies cannot or will not. The refugees are entirely right in understanding that it is the government's policies which have lead to their dire circumstances. What sane human being couldn't blame them for their fury at the Pakistani government's having attacked, killed, and maimed many of its own people who were not militants?!?" -- Wake the Flock Up
