#2 Now that was an interesting quote by the pentagon spokeswoman... assuming it is really what she said. I'd like to see this from a US news source before I believe those were the words used...

#3 Osama Bin Laden crossed into Pakistan on Feb 27 and is closely guarded by Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters disguised as a Pakistani tribesman, US media reported on Sunday.

I'd just like to thank the media, who told Binny we're on to what he's doing.

#4
Instead of a direct assault, Pakistan has urged the Americans to isolate Bin Laden
What a chicken-shit country.

#5 Pakistan is particularly concerned that any offensive that leads to a large number of Pukhtun deaths could have very negative political consequences for the government in Islamabad hmmm.. right they may try to assinate the head of the country or something.

#6 Somebody redraw the maps. If Pakistan is too chicken-sh*t to send its troops into the western part of the country, then guess what? It ain't part of your country.

#7 BH - in the '50s there was a "pashtunistan" movement to annex the Pashtun areas of Pakistan to Afghanistan. US opposed it, since at the time Afghanistan was friendly to the Soviets, and Pakistan was firmly pro-Western.

Probably wouldnt be a good idea today. Too many Pashtuns in Afghanistan would make Afghanistan impossible to stabilize. Better leave them in Pakistan, and work around as well as we can.
