Obviously, Pakistan is being moved into the enemy column for the upcoming WWIII what with the wikileaks flap all over the newspaper pages.
If you have time, American, take a look at a map and you can pretty quickly see where the front lines are going to be for WWIII (brought to you by USrael).
Why do you think AmeriKa is moving military hardware all over the planet?
It is called POSITIONING forces!!
"UN considers dropping 10 from sanctions list" by Associated Press | July 13, 2010
KABUL, Afghanistan — The names of 10 individuals or entities with alleged links to the Taliban are being considered for removal from a UN sanctions list, the top UN official in Afghanistan said yesterday.
Staffan De Mistura said the 10 names, submitted by Afghan officials, were being forwarded to the UN Security Council, which will decide whether to take them off the blacklist that freezes assets and limits travel.
I foresee a U.S. veto.
The list includes the names of 137 individuals and entities — businesses, groups, and organizations — with alleged ties to the Taliban or Al Qaeda.
Does that list include the CIA?
President Hamid Karzai has pushed for the removal of some Taliban figures from the blacklist as a way to encourage militants to stop fighting or enter peace talks....
Those peace talks must be a bunch of whispers because I rarely read of them.
We are there until at least 2014, haven't you heard?

"US targeting Taliban leaders with sanctions; Freezes assets, bans travel" by Lolita C. Baldor, Associated Press | July 23, 2010
WASHINGTON — The United States targeted key leaders of Afghanistan’s Taliban with new financial sanctions yesterday in a move that could complicate relations with Pakistan and Afghan efforts to reconcile with insurgents.
The action by the Treasury Department will freeze the militants’ assets, ban travel, and trigger an arms embargo. It follows similar action by the United Nations earlier this week....
So the U.N reversed course, huh?
Related: U.S. Paying Taliban For Protection
I assume that will be coming to an end?
Taken together, the US and UN sanctions prohibit any financial transactions of the terror leaders in UN member countries, putting additional pressure on Pakistan to take broader actions against the Taliban militants.
Does that mean the CIA bank accounts get shut down, too?
US officials have been urging Pakistan to crack down on the Al Qaeda-linked Haqqani network, saying Islamabad’s reluctance to move into the group’s base in North Waziristan is hampering the Afghan war effort.
Ah, yes, the Haqqani network, yes, the great Haqqani netork:
And now the Times Square tool, 'er, fool.
Pakistan has been moving cautiously, but has been slow at times to take on militants that Islamabad does not believe pose a direct threat. Pakistan has had historic relations with some of the Afghan insurgents and analysts suggest that Islamabad perceives them as useful allies in Afghanistan when international forces withdraw.
Yeah, it is ALL PAKISTAN''S FAULT for PROTECTING THEMSELVES and THEIR INTERESTS!
Oh, yeah, did I mention that the Taliban Pashtun are the people that LIVE THERE?
The Afghan government, meanwhile, has been pushing to try and talk with some insurgent factions, hoping to turn them away from violence.
So WHEN DO WE, AmeriKa?
US officials warn, however, that reconciliation is unlikely to succeed until the militants’ momentum on the battlefield is reversed.
Especially with US around!
Three financial kingpins were targeted with sanctions, including a key member of the Haqqani network, which directs operations against US and coalition forces in Afghanistan from safe havens in Pakistan.
Again with the Haqqani network!
Among those sanctioned yesterday was Nasiruddin Haqqani, an emissary for the Haqqani Network and brother of Sirajuddin Haqqani who leads the group with his father, Jalaluddin....
I wonder which CIA guys they know.
Nasiruddin Haqqani has collected funds for the Haqqani group, including from Al Qaeda....
Sig.

"US missiles kill 16 in Pakistan hide-out" by Munir Ahmed, Associated Press | July 25, 2010
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — US missiles hit a suspected militant hide-out, killing 16 insurgents before dawn yesterday in a troubled Pakistani tribal region along the Afghan border, intelligence officials said.
Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also met yesterday with top military officials in Pakistan, a key US ally in the battle against Islamist extremists.
The six missiles struck a compound in the Nazai Narai area of South Waziristan. The hide-out was known to be frequented by foreign fighters, who were among the dead, two intelligence officials said.
I am truly stunned at the level of fatal ferocity we can bring to a village of mud huts.

U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan get mixed response:
" The Khan family never heard it. They had been sleeping for an hour when a Hellfire missile pierced their mud hut on an August night in 2008. Black smoke and dust choked villagers as they dug through the rubble.
Four-year-old Zeerak's legs were severed. His sister Maria, 3, was badly scorched. Both were dead. When their cousin Irfan, 16, saw them, he gently curled them into his arms, squeezed the rumpled bodies to his chest, lightly kissed their faces, and slid into a stupor."
...another: 60 drone hits kill 14 al-Qaeda men, 687 civilians
" LAHORE: Of the 60 cross-border predator strikes carried out by the Afghanistan-based American drones in Pakistan between January 14, 2006 and April 8, 2009, only 10 were able to hit their actual targets, killing 14 wanted al-Qaeda leaders, besides perishing 687 innocent Pakistani civilians. The success percentage of the US predator strikes thus comes to not more than six per cent."
Thank you so much, JR! I like the style!
The intelligence officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to go on the record, said agents were trying to get more details about the identities and nationalities of the dead insurgents.
Translation: They don't know who they killed; however, I know they were ALL INNOCENTS because 9/11 was an INSIDE JOB engineered by the CIA and Mossad (with help from select U.S. government officials in key positions of power)!
Army spokesmen were not immediately available for comment.
Mullen met yesterday with Pakistan’s army chief, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, who was recently granted a three-year term extension, a sign of the desire for continuity in Pakistan’s battle against Islamist extremists.
The American Embassy described Mullen’s visit as being part of “the regular bilateral consultations between the US and Pakistan.’’
US missile strikes regularly pound extremist targets in the northwest. South Waziristan has witnessed several major Pakistani military operations since the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.
They do not make a lot of noise over here.
Washington has relied heavily on its covert missile campaign to take out Al Qaeda, Afghan Taliban, and their local supporters in North and South Waziristan tribal regions, which are hiding places for insurgents.
Most of the strikes have hit targets in North Waziristan — home to several militant networks that attack US forces in Afghanistan.
Although Pakistan publicly condemns the missile strikes, it has secretly helped Washington in previous attacks.
That's why their government isn't that popular back home.
In retaliation, militants have been attacking Pakistani security forces and government officials in addition to carrying out suicide bombings across the country.
Yesterday, gunmen killed the son of northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province’s information minister, Mian Iftikhar Hussain, who comes from a secular party and is highly critical of the Taliban.
Hussain’s son, a government servant, was killed by two gunmen in his native Naushehra district while out for a stroll, police official Nisar Khan said. Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik attributed the killing to Taliban militants. “This is the price we are paying,’’ he said.
Pakistan’s importance to the American war effort in Afghanistan has been underscored by how frequently top US political and military leaders pass through Islamabad and nearby Rawalpindi, where the Pakistani Army has its headquarters.

And who benefits?
American officials have made it clear they would like to see aggressive action taken against Taliban militants like the Al Qaeda-allied Haqqani network that is based in Pakistan but fights mostly in Afghanistan.

"US drones kill 12 near Afghan border" by Associated Press | July 26, 2010
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan — Unmanned US aircraft fired missiles at houses in two parts of northwestern Pakistan yesterday, killing at least 12 militants in attacks that occurred hours apart, intelligence officials said.
Did that say HOUSES?
The United States has launched more than 100 missile strikes in Pakistan’s semiautonomous tribal area along the Afghan border over the past several years. Most of them have targeted militants in North and South Waziristan, important sanctuaries for Afghan and Pakistani Taliban fighters.
I think it is a LOT MORE!
The first strike took place around midday when aircraft fired four missiles at a house in Shaktoi, a village along the border of North and South Waziristan, killing five suspected militants, intelligence officials said.
"Suspected?"
The attack also wounded four suspected militants, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. Later, two missiles hit a house in Taipi village near Miran Shah, the main town in North Waziristan, killing seven suspected militants, said the officials.
So what is left of the houses?
Anything?
Can YOU IMAGINE FOUR MISSILES flying into YOUR HOME, Americans?
The strikes came a day after US missiles targeting a compound in the Nazai Narai area of South Waziristan killed 16 suspected militants.
The United States refuses to publicly acknowledge the CIA-run drone program in Pakistan.
No, because then they would be acknowledging war crimes.

"Bomb kills 7 near Pakistani aide’s home" by Associated Press | July 27, 2010
PABBI, Pakistan — A Taliban suicide bomber struck yesterday near the home of a Pakistani provincial minister whose only son was recently killed by the militants, officials said. Seven people were killed and 25 wounded.
Mian Iftikhar Hussain, information minister of Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa province and an outspoken critic of the Taliban, was the apparent target. He was receiving condolences from visitors elsewhere in Pabbi at the time of the blast and was safe. Some of his relatives were also receiving mourners at a mosque near the house, and two were hurt, police said.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing, saying their goal was to kill Hussain because his political party is allied with the United States. The Awami National Party is a secular-leaning political group that has been outspoken against militant activity in Pakistan.
“This is just beginning,’’ Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan said by telephone. “We will carry out more attacks against the party. We will destroy their roots.’’
Of course, the call was traced, right?
The attack showed the dangers facing those in Pakistan who take high-profile positions against the Islamist militants who have wreaked havoc in the country over the last several years.
What do you think the missiles have done?
Hussain is frequently the official who shows up at the scenes of bombings in the northwestern province to condemn the Taliban and allied insurgent factions.
Pretty visible for a guy they want to kill.
On Saturday, his son, Rashid Hussain, was gunned down in the same area of Nowshera district, an attack that Ahsan, the Taliban spokesman, said was also carried out by the group.
Reporters cell must have a call-back number, right?
The suicide bomber yesterday was on a motorcycle and was rushing toward the minister’s home when intercepted by security officials, senior police official Liaquat Ali Khan said. The bomber, believed to be a young boy, then set off his explosives.
I was almost ready to believe it until that last bit of over-the-top propaganda.

And I'm surprised this wasn't blamed on the Taliban terrorists:
