3,000 tribesmen protest over cross-border raid
2008-09-06
About 3,000 tribesmen on Friday chanted "Allahu Akbar" (God is great) and "Death to America" while protesting against a raid by Afghanistan-based United States-led troops. One of the elders reportedly warned the US authorities to prepare for assaults on their bases in Afghanistan if they do not stop attacks on Pakistan's northwest border. "If Americans do not stop launching assaults in our tribal regions, we will attack their bases in Afghanistan," tribal elder Malik Ali Muhammad told the protesters. The rally took place in Wana, the main town in South Waziristan, where local officials said at least 15 people died in Wednesday's raid.

#1  The Paki "tribesman" warned that they'll start attacking our bases if we don't stop our incursions into Pashtunistan. It seems to me that they've been attacking our bases for some time, and with impunity. I say it's time to take off the gloves and mount a two-pronged effort to take the war to Pashtnistan where there is only a slight Paki writ, and pressure the fledgling government of Mr. TenPercent and let him know he's only getting ten percent of last years military assistance outlay.
