The U.S. will see to it as we are "helping" with the floods.
"Suspected US airstrike kills 12 people in Pakistan tribal region; Gunmen target travelers, workers in Baluchistan" by Rasool Dawar, Associated Press | August 15, 2010
MIR ALI, Pakistan — Suspected US missiles killed 12 people yesterday in a Pakistani tribal region filled with Islamist insurgents bent on pushing Western troops out of neighboring Afghanistan, intelligence officials said.
Elsewhere in the country, gunmen targeted non-ethnic Baluchis traveling on a bus and painting a house in two attacks in southwestern Baluchistan province, killing 16 people and wounding eight.

Yes, you rarely read about it in the paper, and when you do it is distorted disinformation (so what else is new?).
The airstrike in Issori village of North Waziristan was the first such attack since intense floods hit Pakistan in late July.
Latest: Pakistan Floods Wash Away War on Terror
Apparently that is not true.
Then again, what is one more government and MSM lie these days.
The whole paper is full of them, and TV is even worse.
The United States has tried to improve its public image in Pakistan by sending flood aid, but the missile strike showed that Washington was not willing to stop using a tactic that has fed its unpopularity here.
Yeah, and we are SO NICE and GOOD being RIGHT OUT FRONT with the AID, blah, blah, blah!!!!
This MAKES ME SICK to MY STOMACH!!!!!
The two intelligence officials who confirmed the strike spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media. They said at least two of those killed in the house hit by missiles were suspected militants, but they did not know the identities of the others.
MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE MURDERED over LIES!
Raza Ullah, a resident of the village, took two men wounded in the attack to a nearby hospital on his motorbike. In a brief, rushed encounter with a reporter, Ullah said two or three US drones were seen hovering above the targeted house before the missiles rained down.
The US rarely discusses the covert, CIA-run missile campaign, but officials have said in the past it has proven a valuable tool in the battle against Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters sheltering in Pakistan’s tribal areas.
So which "Al-CIA-Duh" would that be, huh?
The made-up "Al-CIA-Duh?"

Oh, AmeriKa's MSM KNOWS ALL ABOUT and yet STILL PUSHES the CHARADE, huh?Also see: 60 drone hits kill 14 al-Qaeda men, 687 civilians
So "suspected" = CIVILIAN, 'eh?
North Waziristan has been the almost exclusive target in the missile campaign in recent months. It is home to several militant groups, such as the Haqqani network, whose primary focus is the war in Afghanistan.
Oh, the Haqqani group again!
"Haqqani.... credited with introducing suicide bombing to the region.... cultivated as a "unilateral" asset of the CIA and received tens of thousands of dollars in cash for his work.... He may have had a role in expediting the escape of Osama Bin Laden.... In July 2008, CIA officials confronted Pakistan officials with evidence of ties between Inter-Services Intelligence and Haqqani. Haqqani has been accused of involvement in the 2008 Indian embassy bombing in Kabul...."
They sure have been getting a lot of MSM mentions lately!
What's up, MSM?
FALSE FLAG TERROR ATTACK on the WAY?!!
Pakistan officially decries the attacks, but is believed to secretly aid in at least some of the airstrikes. The missile attacks, however, have deepened widespread anti-American sentiment in the country.
What a SURPRISE, huh?
I am SHOCKED that we have NOT WON OVER MORE PEOPLE by BLASTING their HOMES and FAMILIES into OBLIVION!
Heck, if you came over here and did that to me I would just love you!!!
Please PARDON my DRIPPING SARCASM at the DOG S*** known as an AmeriKan newspaper!!
As Pakistan struggles to recover from the worst flooding in its history, the United States has donated more than $70 million in aid and sent helicopters and Marines to help in the relief work.
Yeah, ain't we GREAT PEOPLE?
Un-flipping-believable!!!!!
The goal, in part, is to improve America’s image here; some analysts have suggested that ongoing missile strikes could negate that effort.
Umm, ya' think?
The Baluchistan attacks are sure to add to ethnic tensions there, where a nationalist movement led by armed ethnic Baluch groups has long sought greater provincial autonomy from the central government.
That is SUCH a CHARGED PARAGRAPH!
You can ONCE AGAIN THROW out the INTELLIGENCE AGENCY-INSPIRED "ethnic tensions" seeing as the movement is a NATIONALIST ONE (the government is ripping off resources and paying chump change for it, folks; that is the crux of the dispute).
The second thing that comes to mind is WHY NO VOTE like KOSOVO!!
As we SEE in KASHMIR, when it comes to MUSLIM VOTES for FREEDOM and INDEPENDENCE it is a NO GO!
They may have been inspired by Pakistan’s marking the anniversary yesterday of its creation and independence from Britain in 1947.
Yeah, which makes it VERY SUSPICIOUS that it would be the Baluchis!
In the first attack, gunmen stopped the bus in Aab-e-Ghum, a town 30 miles northeast of Quetta, the provincial capital. It carried Baluchi and non-Baluchi passengers, but the attackers identified those from the eastern Punjab province, forced them off the bus, and shot them dead, police official Ismail Kurd said.
That is just STINKING like in SO MANY PLACES we see across the Muslim world!
They live together, intermarry, and mingle with each other for centuries -- until we get there!

"Now stop and think here for a moment. All revolutions depend on public support. Revolutionaries try to first win the people before they take on the government. So, no revolutionary goes out and murders civilians in cold blood. Did Washington and his men just mow down a marketplace of their fellow colonials for the heck of it? No, they did not. Washington and the Founding Fathers knew that their revolution to build a new country needed the support of those who would live in that country. This is true for every revolution in history. Therefore, these acts of terror being blamed on the insurgency must all be fakes, committed by intelligence agencies working for the governments to be blamed on the insurgents in order to destroy public support for the revolution." -- Wake the Flock Up
More on that below.
The second attack occurred in Quetta, when gunmen burst into a home and killed six Punjabi laborers who were painting it. The gunmen also wounded three other laborers, senior police official Hamid Shakeel said.

Police would not speculate on who was behind the attacks or whether they were linked. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, and it was unclear exactly how many gunmen were involved.
That confirms my suspicions based upon the decoding of the twisted MSM whatever!
Baluchistan is a rugged region with a lengthy and porous border with Afghanistan and Iran.
Then they must be housing the grave of bin Laden, right?
Sigh.
Seems to be a PRETTY STRATEGIC AREA for EMPIRE-BUILDERS and RESOURCE THIEVES, cui bono?!
It is Pakistan’s largest province, covering 44 percent of the country.
Soon to be under water -- either by flood or missile strikes.
It is also the most sparsely populated, with some 6.5 million people, about half of whom are believed to be of Baluchi origin.
But I'm sure MOST ALL in agreement that the GOVERNMENT OPPRESSION and U.S. MASS-MURDER should END!

[It is interesting (but very bizarre) to see how often the teams of motorcycle-riding hit teams target local police. From all available evidence (SEE: ISI sent 1000 motorcycles to Mawlawi Jalaludin Haqqani ; and Cards of Pakistani Intelgence Agencies Men Involved Attack on JSQM Rally), the ISI is behind these bike-riding assassins.
But, on the other hand, we have this (SEE: BLA Admits Motorcycle Riding Assassins Were Theirs). This incident took place in an area where a large number of these type motorcycle attacks have taken place, in Khuzdar. The victim was accused of spying for the Frontier Corps. Either both sides in Balochistan are using identical means for their target killings, or both the ISI and the Baloch Liberation Army are on the same side, or working for the same masters. A loyal reader has pointed-0ut the similarities between these attacks in Pakistan and previous similar attacks in Belfast, Ireland, which were attributed to the Irish Republican Army. Later investigations tied a lot of the murders and bombings in Ireland to British intelligence, MI5, who were pursuing a "Gladio" strategy in their counter-insurgency operations. It takes very little imagination to see a possible link between MI5 and the ISI, since the Pakistani organization was trained by British intelligence.
What we see today in Balochistan is a classic example of an active Gladio operation. The more the spook war unfolds in Balochistan, the more evident it becomes exactly who the spooks really are. America, England, Israel and Pakistan are putting-on an elaborate and very brutal show for our bewilderment....
The point remains very clear--British intelligence perfected the art of counter-insurgency at its most dirty level. Terrorism is a now the favorite tool in the toolbox of the black arts used by Western state intelligence agencies. Every allied agency has been infected with this anti-human virus, perpetuating the idea that terrorism, in the service of the state, is the most noble calling for all true "professionals."
It was quickly discovered by the evil state that the surest way to the top of a murderous organization, whether it is the IRA, or the BLA (very similary names), is to be the best killer. Reputation as a top terrorist is the shortest route for an ambitious federal agent intent on infiltration. Time after time, from New York to London, in every major successful terror bombing, the government agent either built or designed the bomb. We see from the hilarious string of underwear and shoe bombers exactly what would happen when the "terrorists" are left to their own skills.
The policy is always carried-out in the same manner, with government agents initiating terror attacks, or training the terrorists who commit the acts. Either the spooks create new terror outfits from scratch, or they initiate parallel operations meant to implicate the parent group. This way, the government agent sits atop the most violent faction of every group.
In Balochistan, the BLA is a terrorist outfit, but it is also a government front group. The question becomes, which government is the BLA fronting for? Pakistani, American, British, Israel, or "all of the above"? This is a question that real Baloch nationalists must answer for themselves.]
Anyone within the conflict zone should be on the lookout for any motorcycles carrying two men. Be ready to duck for cover, or to return fire. Anyone lucky enough to bag one of these guys will probably find them carrying one of the following forms of ID: --The Motorbike Murderers of Balochistan Strike Again
