That's why the MSM is ignoring the mass-murdering slaughter and refugee crisis.
See my Pakistan labels for the latest reports from the AmeriKan MSM.
This stuff is so rank I just wanted you to know what s*** the newspapers are feeding us about what is going over up there.

Oooops!
"Vice Admiral Jeffrey Fowler, the Naval Academy’s superintendent, said a big part of the increase in applications in Annapolis is due to the school’s summer seminar. The program brings students who have finished their junior year of high school to the academy for six days to show them what life would be like at the picturesque riverside campus. For 2,250 spots in the program, the academy received more than 6,000 applications this summer.The Naval Academy also has been reaching out to students in seventh and eighth grades"
Oh, HOW EVIL, ‘eh, America?

The claim came as a suicide car bomber rammed his vehicle into a checkpoint in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal region, causing an explosion that killed two police and wounded five other security officials, authorities said.
That is one of the few incidents of violence they reported this week -- as if there were no war at all.
Pakistani troops are engaged in offensives against the Taliban in various areas along the lawless border with Afghanistan, fighting militants often drawn from among the local communities.
Lieutenant General Nadeem Ahmed, who heads a special support group tasked with handling the return of people displaced by three months of fighting in the Swat Valley and surrounding areas, said he had met with nine boys rescued from the Taliban.
“They have been brainwashed and trained as suicide bombers, but the nine who I met seemed willing to get back to normal life,’’ he told Pakistani state-run television.
Ahmed’s deputy, Lieutenant Colonel Waseem Shahid, later clarified that it had not been determined whether all the boys were being trained as suicide bombers.
“What we are saying is that they are Taliban recruits. They are trained. They could have been used for any purpose,’’ Shahid told the Associated Press.
Ahmed said on state-run TV that the children had told him there were many more, possibly hundreds, like them.
“It seems that there are some 300 to 400 such children who the Taliban had taken forcibly or who they were training,’’ Ahmed said.
Major Nasir Ali, spokesman for forces in Swat, told AP that most of the several children who had been rescued were taken from a Taliban training camp in Swat after a firefight, although some had turned themselves in later.
He did not say when the rescue occurred.
“The account we are getting from these boys is that there could be many more such cases, and we believe that most of them have dispersed among the public,’’ he said.
Ahmed said that a psychiatrist would examine the children to recommend how they should be reintegrated into society.
“It will be a big challenge’’ to reverse the indoctrination they received, he noted.
He said the boys had sometimes been lured by offers of food, but that they had been underfed and some had fallen ill.
Militant spokesmen could not be reached yesterday for comment on the allegations.
On Sunday, authorities in Swat’s main town of Mingora presented several teenagers alleged to have been forcibly recruited by the Taliban. Seven boys, their lower faces covered to prevent them being recognized, were shown to reporters.
One, a 16-year-old Shaukat Ali, said the militants abducted him while he was playing cricket. He said they told him they wanted him to be “a warrior’’ and offered to pay his family for his services.
Bashir Ahmad Bilour, senior minister of North West Frontier Province where Swat is located, said that dozens of children had been rescued by security forces and ranged in age from 6 to 15.

I'm sorry, world. Maybe this is all true; however, because of my lying, Muslim-hating, war-promoting, Zionist War Daily I refuse to believe it at this point. This plays perfectly well into their agenda. If they don't flog the women as war propaganda, it is the children -- as if Muslims don't love their children as much as we do. That's why they are wailing when the air bomb flattens the house and kills the kids.
SULTANWAS, Pakistan - Village leaders in a former Taliban stronghold are rebuilding their own militia to protect the area from militants holding out in nearby hills after fleeing the Pakistani Army’s offensive last spring.
The military operation in the Swat Valley and surrounding areas is winding down, but sporadic fighting persists - a sign that the Taliban have not given up. Locals say Taliban fighters are hiding in the hills outside Sultanwas, a village pulverized by air strikes and tanks during Pakistan’s offensive.
Wow, and I didn't see or hear a thing in my War Daily. WTF?
So villagers are leaving nothing to chance: They have reorganized their own militia and say they are talking to nearby villages to join forces. Pakistan’s authorities say such militias, known as lashkars, can prevent the Taliban from rebounding in the strategic area north of the capital. The groups have been compared to Iraq’s Awakening Councils, which helped US forces turn the tide against Al Qaeda there.
The concept is an old one in Pakistan, where lashkars have augmented security in the lawless tribal belt along the Afghan border. But they have not been a feature of the more peaceful districts such as Buner, which includes Sultanwas, and in the nearby Swat Valley.--more--"
I didn't see any reference to the OVER 3 MILLION REFUGEES this crisis has caused? Pathetic. That's what AmeriKa's MSM is: pathetic
