Pakistan's Latest Offensive
"Militant compound hit in Pakistan" by Associated Press | September 8, 2009
MIR ALI, Pakistan - A suspected US missile struck a Pakistani militant stronghold near the Afghan border late yesterday, killing five people, officials and a resident said.
The missile hit a compound in Machi Khel village in the North Waziristan tribal area - a region home to Taliban and Taliban-affiliated militant groups, some of which are suspected in attacks on Western troops stationed in Afghanistan. The United States has fired scores of missiles from unmanned drones into Pakistan’s lawless tribal regions over the past year....
The identities of the people killed yesterday were not immediately clear, said three Pakistani officials, two of whom work for the intelligence service. The officials all spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
In the past, Pakistan has publicly opposed the missile strikes, saying they violate its sovereignty and spur anti-American sentiment. But many observers suspect the two countries have a deal allowing the missile attacks....
Yes, and it is spurring anti-Americanism.

Pakistan has waged its own offensives against militants in the country’s northwest.
It's one long offensive is what it is.
A military statement yesterday said security forces killed 10 more suspected insurgents in the latest operation in Khyber tribal region.
"Suspected? So if they were not.... ?
And WHOEVER they were, they were INNOCENT PEOPLE because THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING TO US!!!
Authorities say the weeklong operation has so far killed over 130 alleged militants - a toll that has not been independently verified.
Which was preceded by a MONTHS-LONG offensive that KILLED THOUSANDS!!
Meanwhile, a roadside bomb killed two Pakistani soldiers and wounded two others in South Waziristan.
--more--"
Who knows what else happened that they aren't telling us.
What they do tell us confirms that this thing is on fire:
".... A suspected US missile strike yesterday killed eight people near the Afghan border, and the Pakistani military said it had killed 24 militants in an ongoing offensive in the Khyber region. Trucks carrying supplies to NATO and US troops were attacked in two parts of the country....

Only worthy of a sentence.
Late yesterday, a suspected US missile struck a house in a village in the North Waziristan tribal region, killing eight. It was the second such attack in the region in the last 24 hours.
Oh, HIT a HOUSE, did we? Probably KILLED a FAMILY!
Now THINK for a minute, Amurkn, if YOU HEARD a WHIZ BANG and YOUR HOME was LYING in RUBBLE with your KIDS DEAD? How would YOU FEEL?
Would you be READY TO FIGHT?
Or would you KISS the "TERRORIST" on the cheek and THANK HIM for LIBERATING YOU?
Pakistani intelligence officials said five more people were wounded, adding that all the casualties were militants linked to Pakistani Taliban.
Yeah, that is what a LYING, DIRT BAG GOVERNMENT that has signed off on this slaughter says SAYS!
The United States has fired scores of missiles from unmanned drones into the tribal regions since last year in a campaign targeting Al Qaeda and Taliban commanders.
Yup, and KILLED a WHOLE LOT of INNOCENT PEOPLE: 60 drone hits kill 14 al-Qaeda men, 687 civilians
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s military said it had killed 24 insurgents in the Khyber region, a toll that could not be independently verified.
In the Orakzai tribal region, suspected militants killed four high school students, officials and a resident said. Government official Mohammad Yasin could only confirm that gunmen fired on students in the Kalaya village area. However, the resident, Yousuf Mohammad, said he saw masked gunmen kill four boys.
Hmmmmm! MASKED MEN!
I'm sorry, but in the photos I've seen of Taliban they aren't wearing masks. Turbans, yeah, masks, no. Yes, they have the grenade-launcher slung around the shoulder, but no mask.
So WHO could those MASKED MEN be, huh, readers?
Others were wounded....
And what is worse, the paper tries to MAKE IT SEEM as if EVERYTHING is RETURNING to NORMAL!!!
"Pakistan resumes Taliban-banned polio vaccinations; Foreign-funded program had been called un-Islamic " by Asif Shahzad, Associated Press | September 9, 2009
Oh, I don't like this at all, what with my government trying to jab us with swine flu needles! It never ends!

ISLAMABAD - Authorities in Pakistan’s Swat Valley have resumed vaccinating children for polio, a practice the Taliban had banned as un-Islamic before they were beaten back by an army offensive, an official said yesterday.
You know, those barbaric, wife-whipping, blood-drinking Taliban aren't so 'too-pid after all! In fact, they seem more on the ball than Amurkns who hypnotically roll up the sleeve.
The Islamist militants, who began taking over the valley in 2007, had declared a campaign to inoculate against the potentially crippling disease was un-Islamic because it was foreign-funded. Swat Taliban leader Maulana Fazullah said the vaccinations were a Western conspiracy to make Muslim children infertile.
If you have seen EndGame, they may really be on to something there.
Ever notice WHEREVER the GLOBALISTS GO, DEATH is SURE to FOLLOW?!
The army says it has killed more than 1,800 suspected militants in Swat since launching its latest offensive there four months ago.
So HOW MANY OFFENSIVES do they have going at the moment? North and South Waziristan, Baluchistan, and where else?
The government is now trying to bring the valley back to normal. Most of the 2 million people displaced in the offensive have returned home....
Meanwhile, MORE FLEE the MOST RECENT OFFENSIVE! The MSM LIES about the NUMBER (closer to 3 million), and then LIES about the situation!

In Swat, government official Khurshid Khan, a doctor, said the last inoculations against polio were administered nearly a year ago. Six cases of polio have been discovered since vaccinations resumed Monday. Some 215,000 children are a target of the three-day campaign, he said.
See?
He said Pakistani health officials had to quit their campaign last September after several attacks by the militants. The department made another attempt to restart in January, but that was quickly abandoned after another attack. “Our staff was beaten, and our equipment was snatched,’’ Khan said.
Swat resident Yar Mohammad said the people of the valley welcomed the resumption of the campaign. “The militants have been depriving our children of our basic right. It is our national responsibility to secure our kids against all diseases,’’ said Mohammad, who lives in the valley’s main city, Mingora.
Okay, if that is what you think government is really doing, then more power to you! Maybe this is true. Maybe the globalists do cure somethings to gain the trust.
The fact is, I don't know what to believe anymore -- except that DROPPING MISSILES on them CAN NOT BE HELPING!!!!
That's the same government that want you to get the shot or sniff, right?
I can't imagine why "Taliban" do not trust them!
Polio has been eradicated in most countries. But in Pakistan, Nigeria, Afghanistan, and India it remains endemic, according to the World Health Organization.
Well, THAT is a TOTAL FAILURE of the governments of those countries, isn't it?
How are they getting this stuff, anyway?
The disease mostly strikes children under age 5 and is spread when people come into contact with the feces of those with the virus.
Now WAIT JUST a MINUTE!!!! I'm sorry, I know the barbaric Taliban crazies are drinking blood and whipping women as well as plotting, planning, lurking, waiting to strike; however, I REFUSE to believe they are DIGGING THROUGH SHIT!!
What this tells you is PUBLIC SERVICES must be NONEXISTENT in some areas.
Which begs another question: how come some of these Taliban elders are older than dirt? How do they live so long in such deplorable conditions?
I hate to even make the next leap. Is it possible those plagues are being released intentionally by certain powers with a plan?
It usually attacks the nervous system, causing paralysis, muscular atrophy, deformation, and sometimes death.
Pakistan is still battling Taliban fighters and other militant groups across its rugged northwest bordering Afghanistan....
Violence, however, continues to assail the northwest....
That would lead back to the top of the post.
Sorry about the link, but I had to use Safari today because Firefox sucked.

"It is foolishness to look at “militant Islamists” and the CIA Special Forces teams who are sent in to fight them as two separate entities, without realizing that they are one and the same. In Central Asia, the scary “Islamists” appear, as if by magic, wherever the oil companies have an interest."
Yes, and they are not Taliban!
Taliban are ETHNIC PASHTUNS who are INDIGENOUS to the REGION!
It is THEIR HOME, 'murkn -- and we are POCKING IT with PREDATOR STRIKES!!
Would YOU LIKE that, especially when YOU HAD DONE NOTHING to deserve it?
