| 2011-11-26 |
| NATO sez, 'Yeah, that wuz us...' NATO helicopters from Afghanistan have carried out an "unprovoked" attack on a Pakistani border post, killing at least eight troops, the Pakistan military and local officials say. In Kabul, a spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said: "We are aware that an incident did take place. We are still in the process of gathering information." Pakistani security and military officials in the Mohmand tribal region, which is near the Afghan border, said an army major was among the eight dead in the pre-dawn incident. A military spokesman said: "ISAF/NATO helicopters carried out unprovoked and indiscriminate firing on a Pakistani checkpost in Mohmand agency last night (early on Saturday)." The border post was in the Baizai district of the rugged tribal terrain. "The firing left seven soldiers and one major dead," a local intelligence official said. A paramilitary and another security official confirmed the casualties. |

| #15 we should be out of Pakistan and prohibit Paks from coming to America. Make it clear they are an enemy and will be attacked for their perfidy. Cut off aid - cut a deal with the 'Stans to deliver logistics, and make VERY nice with India. Backstabbing and double-dealing has to have a price. |

| #12 Yes Sir, Mr. Nobel Peace Prize Winner! 100 US troops now in Uganda, boots on the ground in Libya, air assaults in Egypt, warnings to Syria (oops Russian Fleet just moved in), Karzai pissed in Afghanistan, cutting and running at this moment in Iraq, Israel refuses disclose plans against Iran to the little runt at the controls of The Super Power USA... and now the USA is bombing Pakistan. But here its all good, like "pass the pop-corn" good. |

| #11 would these be the same Paks that get killed by the dozens by their ISI-trained Taliban without getting all butt-hurt about mythical "sovereignty"? |
