Pakistan and US to jointly probe strike |
2008-06-14 |
The United States and Pakistani armed forces have agreed to conduct a joint investigation into an American airstrike that killed 11 Pakistani soldiers in the Mohmand Agency this week, US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher said on Friday. “There is an understanding between the militaries that they will conduct a joint investigation and the foreign ministers agreed that this was the right way to go,” Reuters quoted him as telling reporters after a meeting between US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on the sidelines of a conference on Afghanistan. Regret: “The secretary [Rice] expressed our regrets for the death of Pakistani soldiers, in particular knowing that they are our allies in the war on terror,” Boucher said, adding that Washington did not acknowledge responsibility for the deaths, nor did it admit to an error. War: A Foreign Office press release said that Rice and Qureshi had agreed to continue Pak-US co-operation in the joint fight against terrorism during their meeting. It said that both leaders had agreed that it was important to find a joint solution to problems faced by both sides. |

#2 Time to have ANOTHER strike - this time down through the middle of Islamabad by 30 or more US bombers, loaded to the gills with iron bombs. It might get the Pakistanis' attention that we're pretty tired of the patty-cake they're playing with our avowed enemies. |
