Sr. US Commanders want to go a-hunting in Pakistan |

More Special Operations raids, because the Pakistani army refuse to curb their pets on their side of the border. Also, CIA-backed native Afghan militias, aka Counterterrorism Pursuit Teams, have been quietly doing more than just gathering information. The Paktika Defence Force has at least twice raided across the border on CIA orders. There are five others based in Kandahar, Kabul, Jalalabad and the rural provinces of Khost and Kunar. The C.I.A.-backed militia near Khost recently deployed in the mountains along the Pakistan border, where it will spend the winter intercepting Taliban fighters. “The rockets we endured for the past seven months suddenly dried up,” the anonymous American service member said. |

#5 (An original version. A tad more bloody-minded.) The keeper did a-shooting go And under his arm he carried a bow All for a shoot at a merry little doe Among the leaves so green-o. The first doe he shot at, he missed. The second doe, he trimmed, he kissed. The third doe went where nobody wissed. Among the leaves so green-o. The fourth doe she hem-in by tree, Because of this she could not flee. So cut her throat quite leisurely, Among the leaves so green-o. The fifth doe she did cross the brook. The keeper brought her back with his crook. Where she is now, you must not look, Among the leaves so green-o. |

#4 Afghan militias backed by the C.I.A. have carried out a number of secret missions into PakistanÂ’s tribal areas. Send more. One Afgan militia looks like another. Probably working for the ISI, too, anyway. |

#2 The C.I.A.-backed militia near Khost recently deployed in the mountains along the Pakistan border, where it will spend the winter intercepting Taliban fighters. That's how it's done! “The rockets we endured for the past seven months suddenly dried up,” the anonymous American service member said. Any word on the well-being of those transporting the rockets? |

#1 The borders are so poorly marked and Pvt. Bob forgot to put batteries in the GPS. Again. It really is just an unfortunate mistake. Sorry about all the dead jihadis |
