"63 die as militants battle Pakistani forces; Government voices concern as US rift grows" by Chris Brummitt, Associated Press / June 3, 2011
ISLAMABAD — Islamist militants who flowed out of Afghanistan fought for a second day with Pakistani security forces yesterday in one of the deadliest clashes on the Pakistan side of the frontier in months. Authorities said 63 people were dead.
Signaling a deepening of the rift with the United States and voicing Islamabad’s anger over the attacks, the government issued a statement expressing strong concern about the attack....
The militant attack and Pakistan’s reaction contradicted the US narrative about the poorly defined and porous border....
Beyond emphasizing the difficulties of fighting an enemy that pays no attention to borders, the battle pointed to possible trouble for both the United States and Pakistan when Washington begins withdrawing troops later this year....
Translation: they won't be going anywhere.
In the past, NATO and Pakistani forces staged coordinated “hammer and anvil’’ operations on the border, but relations between Washington and Islamabad hit a particularly rough patch, especially since the unilateral US raid that killed Osama bin Laden....
That lie finds it's way into damn near every article.

"Pakistani forces repel militant attack" by Associated Press / June 4, 2011
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Pakistani helicopters and artillery yesterday forced back militants who crossed over from Afghanistan this week and triggered battles that killed scores of people, an official said. The government demanded that NATO and Afghan troops do more to control insurgents on their side of the border.
The Pakistani Taliban, the country’s most prominent militant group, claimed responsibility for the incursion in a telephone call to reporters. If true, the group’s presence in Afghanistan’s Kunar Province marks a new demonstration of the instability of the border area 10 years after the US-led invasion of Afghanistan....
Since when did the AmeriKan media start questioning the credibility of Taliban phone calls?

There was no claim of responsibility, but the Pakistani Taliban have claimed credit for other recent attacks, saying they were avenging bin Laden’s death in the May 2 raid....
The more they repeat it, the more you know it is a colossal lie.

"Peshawar bombings kill 34, injure 100" by Associated Press / June 12, 2011
PESHAWAR — Two explosions went off minutes apart in the northwest Pakistani city of Peshawar today, killing at least 34 people and injuring nearly 100. The blasts occurred after midnight in an area of the city that has political offices and army housing. The first explosion was relatively small. A suicide bombing rocked the area a few minutes later, causing the fatalities. The attack took place as CIA Director Leon Panetta and Afghan President Hamid Karzai were holding talks in Islamabad."
Isn't that interesting?
