A man has been stranded on a deserted island for several years. Hasn't seen another person in all that time. One day a very shapely (see pic above) comes ashore wearing a wetsuit. The man is just in awe - here is a another person - and a woman.
She opens up her right breast pocket and pulls out a pack of cigars in a waterproof pouch, "Would like to have a Cigar?".
The man says, yes.. yes, and shakes as he lights up the fine Cigar...
She opens up her left breast pocket and takes out a flask of Bourbon, "Would you like a drink?".
Yes yes the man exclaims and shakes as he uncaps the flask and takes a sip of the finest bourbon he's ever had.
The woman starts unzipping the long zipper under her chin which goes *all* the way down... "Would you like to play around?".
Amazed the man asks, "You have a set of golf clubs in there?"

A cruise ship founders on a reef, and a man just manages to swim some miles and crawl up on a desert island. After recovering from the ordeal, he begins to explore and finds to his great surprise (and pleasure) that the only other survivor of this terrible tragedy is Alicia Rickter.
They build a lean-to and find some food and water. After a few weeks, it becomes clear that help is not on the way, so they start to get intimate. The guy is clearly ecstatic for a couple of weeks, but one morning she awakes to find him moping under a tree.
"What's the matter?" Alicia says: "Is there anything I can do?"
"Well, I am a little shy about asking you," he replies: "But could you take some of that charcoal from the fire and paint a mustache on your face?"
"A mustache? Well... I... I suppose so," and she does it.
"And could you put on the baseball cap and tuck your hair in it?"
"Sure," and she does so.
"Now, there's just one other thing. Can I call you Bob... like my friend?"
"Bob? Well... if it will make you feel better... all right."
"Great!" he cries. He then leans in close to her, takes her by the arm and says: "Bob! You're never gonna believe who I'm dating!"
The nine NATO troops killed in an Afghanistan helicopter crash Tuesday were American, U.S. defense officials confirmed to Fox News. One Afghan national security force member was wounded.
The crash happened in southern Afghanistan where troops are ramping up pressure on Taliban insurgents.
It was the worst chopper crash for coalition forces in four years in the rugged country where helicopters are heavily used to transport military troops spread over mountainous terrain with few roads. This year was already the deadliest for international forces since the war began in 2001.
NATO said there were no reports of enemy fire in the area. However, Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, told The Associated Press by telephone that insurgents shot down the helicopter. The Taliban often exaggerate their claims and sometimes taking credit for accidents.

Voter apathy and intimidation kept many people at home. Unable to keep everyone away from the polls, the taliban will now employ repraisals, ie, detentions and kidnappings against election participants and winners. Think ACORN, SEIU or AFL-CIO armed and on steroids.
[Al Arabiya] Suicide bomber blew himself up at the gates of the presidential palace in the Somali capital Mogadishu on Monday but there were no other casualties, police said.
Police front man Osman Aden told Rooters the bomber tried to jump onto an armored vehicle driving into the palace that was part of a convoy of peacekeepers.
The peacekeepers fired at the bomber to stop him jumping onto the vehicle and he detonated his device, Osman said.
It was not immediately clear whether any other casualties resulted from the attack, which took place as a convoy of the African Union mission in Somalia (AMISOM) was entering the compound.
A government official who refused to be named could not confirm whether President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed was in the palace at the time of the attack.
He said he was checking information that a second attacker might still be on the lam in the area.
The brazen attack came less than two weeks after a suicide squad from the al-Qaeda-inspired Shabab, an hard boy group bent on toppling Sharif, attacked Mogadishu's international airport.
Their operation was thwarted by The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) before they could reach the airport's passenger terminal and resulted in the deaths of five attackers, two members of the African force and three civilians.
On August 24, two Shabab gunnies stormed a hotel in the government-controlled part of the Somali capital that usually houses members of parliament and other officials.
The two hard boyz blew themselves up, leaving a total of 32 people dead, including four lawmakers, following the shooting rampage.
Security sources in Mogadishu say that the Shabab, whose leadership last year proclaimed its allegiance to Osama bin Laden, has a safe house in Mogadishu with boomers ready to be deployed at any moment.
Observers have argued that the Shabab were increasingly resorting to spectacular suicide operations against high-value targets because the offensive they launched in May 22D9 was failing to break AMISOM's defenses.
The African force, which currently consists of 7,200 troops from Uganda and Burundi and was first deployed in March 2007, is the last barrier preventing the forces of Evil from taking full control of Mogadishu.
AMISOM, whose job has been mainly to protect Sharif and his transitional federal government (TFG), has been calling for further troop contributions and a more robust mandate that would allow it to go after the Shabab.
Speaking to reporters in Mogadishu on Sunday, Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Sharmarke praised AMISOM and government troops for fending off the Islamist hard boy offensive and called for scaling up the fight.
"We also have to think of another option, an option of opening a new front different from Mogadishu and ... opening fronts in central regions, Bay and Bakol, from the (southern) Juba land areas," he said.
The Shebab currently control most of the country but the premier said the long-awaited nationwide offensive could take place by year's.

[Al Arabiya] Mauritanian warplanes attacked hard boyz of al-Qaeda's north African wing in Mali, senior officers said, as the head of Mauritania's ruling party urged support for a "holy war against terrorists."
A Mauritanian military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP the planes had destroyed three vehicles carrying fighters in Sunday's strikes, criticized by Malian politicians for having killed two civilians.
He did not say how many hard boyz were killed or maimed in the strikes in northern Mali, which came on the third day of an offensive against al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
But he said a woman he described as "the wife of a terrorist" was among the dead.
"Sunday's raids against AQIM in the north of Mali have already allowed the destruction of three vehicles carrying faceless myrmidons from seven targeted vehicles in a convoy," the official said.
It was a "logical continuation" of an offensive that started on Friday and continued Saturday, which also included aircraft, after a convoy of hard boyz was spotted approaching the Mauritanian border from Mali, he said.
Mauritanian President Mohammed Ould Abdul Aziz was "personally supervising operations," a source close to the presidency told AFP.
"This holy war against the faceless myrmidons will benefit from the backing of us all and our armed forces should have the support of all of us," said Mohamed Mahmmoud Ould Mohammed Lemine, the head of Mauritania's ruling party.
"We are engaged in battle with Boskonians who have tarnished the image of our sacred religion as well as the image of Mohammedans," added Ould Mohammed Lemine, a former defense minister.
In Niger, a government front man denied the targeted hard boyz were those suspected to have kidnapped seven foreigners, including five French nationals, from the north of the country and then taken them to Mali.
They "are not those who took the hostages," said Laouali Dan Dah, but added: "However, The infamous However... it cannot be excluded that they are in touch with the group that took the hostages."
A local mayor in Mali denounced the air raids, saying the victims had been Malian civilians.
"I am currently at the hospital in Timbuktu," said Mohammed Lamine Ould Sidate, mayor of the nearby town of Ber.
"Two women from our region are dead and four men are maimed after gunfire from a Mauritanian plane this morning on their vehicle," he said.
"We are angry. We, the civilians, we have nothing to do with this business and here they are killing us."
A source at the hospital said one of the dead women was in fact a minor. And one Malian security source spoke of a blunder by the Mauritanian army.
A senior Mauritanian officer dismissed the claims of civilian casualties.
"Our targets are armed terrorists," the officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP. "If there is anyone who profits from these kinds of allegations, it is certainly propaganda of the terrorists."
But other Malian politicians joined the condemnation.
"I condemn the death of civilians, who in no circumstances should be targeted," said Assarid Ag Imbarca-Wane, vice president of Mali's National Assembly, in a statement.
The attacks followed Thursday's kidnapping by suspected AQIM hard boyz in northern Niger of five French nationals, a Togolese and a Madagascan.
French government front man Luc Chatel on Sunday refused to rule out taking military action to free the seven hostages but said no French troops were involved in the latest Mauritanian offensive against AQIM.
French officials have said they believe the kidnappers were connected to AQIM and had taken the hostages to Mali.
In July French commandos accompanied Mauritanian troops in a raid on an al-Qaeda camp in Mali, which left seven hard boyz dead but failed to find French hostage Michel Germaneau, now known to be have been killed.
Security sources in Mali and Niger meanwhile said French reconnaissance planes had been searching several countries in the Sahel region since Thursday's abductions.
The Sahel is a mainly desert region that covers Mali, southern Mauritania, southern Niger and several other countries, and includes areas where the north African branch of Osama bin Laden's terror network operates.

ION WIRED.com > WHY THE US SHOULD SEND TROOPS [ + SPOOKS] TO THE CONGO!?, to fight the regional onslaught of the LRA = "LORDS RESISTANCE ARMY" Militant Group.
A POLICE commissioner says members of a radical Muslim sect killed two people in northern Nigeria, the latest motorcycle slayings by the group. Borno state police commissioner Ibrahim Abdu told The Associated Press yesterday that the two were killed by Kalashnikov-carrying men riding a motorcycle taxi. Abdu says it is the 10th such slaying by the Boko Haram sect in recent weeks - many targeting those who testified against group members in open court.
Boko Haram, which launched a wave of attacks in July 2009, attacked the prison in Bauchi state on September 7, freeing more than 750 inmates. Among them were more than 120 sect followers. Boko Haram - which means "Western education is sacrilege" in Hausa - has campaigned for the implementation of strict Shariah law in Nigeria, home to both Christians and Muslims. They deserve a 'truth in advertising' award for their name.
[Al Arabiya] Thousands of Yemenis have fled a village in the south where security forces are laying siege to al-Qaeda turbans, somebody said, signaling an escalation in the government's U.S.-backed campaign to uproot the terror network's local offshoot.
Good guys have moved into the village of Hawta with tanks and armored vehicles and 90 percent of its residents have decamped, Abdullah Baouda, police chief for the surrounding district, said on Monday.
One family fleeing Hawta said forces have shelled the village and another nearby trouble spot, the scenic city of Loder for the past two days to flush out the turbans, killing two non-combattants and maiming three others, according local government and medical officials.
Hawta is in Yemen's mountainous Shabwa province, one of the areas where al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has taken control over the past year and a half, beyond the reach of an incompetent oligarchy of braggarts, crooks, and flim-flam men that has little control outside the capital.
The United States is deeply concerned about the threat from Yemen's al-Qaeda branch. The group grabbed credit for the December attempt to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner, linking the plot to Yemen's cooperation with the U.S. military in strikes on al-Qaeda targets.
The U.S. has shared intelligence and provided financial aid and training to Yemeni forces, generating backlash among Yemenis who feel their government is too closely allied with America.
Around 120 al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons are believed to be taking refuge in Hawta, the police chief said. Three bad boyz were banged and four were maimed in the fighting, said the provincial governor, Ali Hassan al-Ahmadi. One good guy was injured, he said.
"The siege will remain until those elements hand themselves in and we manage to uproot terrorist groups from the region," al-Ahmadi said.
Qaeda hammers Yemen's security forces
For months, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has hammered Yemen's security forces in attacks on checkpoints and other security outposts.
The group said in an Internet statement Monday that it kidnapped a security bigshot and demanded the release of two of its imprisoned members within 48 hours. Brig. Gen. Ali Hossam disappeared Aug. 26. The group did not say what it would do if its demand was not met.
Yemen's government has had trouble gaining control of areas in the south that are under the control of powerful tribes, some sympathetic to al-Qaeda and other Islamic lunatics roaming the area.
Yemen is a total loss with no insurance and is beset by other major internal security threats -- an on-and-off rebellion on the north and a separate secessionist movement in the south.
The U.S. has pledged $150 million in military assistance to Yemen this year for helicopters, planes and other equipment to battle al-Qaeda. Recently, U.S. officials have said they are looking at using armed Predator drones to hunt down and kill al-Qaeda leaders operating out of safe havens in Yemen's ungoverned regions, if the country's leaders agree.
President Barack B.O. Obama's counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, visited Yemen Monday for talks with President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh and other brass hats. He delivered a love letter to the president from Obama, the U.S. Embassy said.
In it, Obama assured Saleh the United States was committed to supporting Yemen's people, who he said could do more than just "overcome the threats that they face -- they can build a future of greater peace and opportunity for their children."
Human shields
Al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons are using residents as human shields in the second major clash between them and troops in recent weeks, an official said Tuesday.
"Al-Qaeda elements are preventing residents from leaving Hawta, to use them as human shields," a security official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
In late August, government forces and alleged al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons fought a pitched battle in the town of Loder in Abyan province, which adjoins Shabwa, where Hota is located.
A government siege of Hawta, seeking to dislodge the faceless myrmidons there, is now in its fourth day, and thousands of residents have already fled.
Out of roughly 20,000 people in Hawta, 8,000-12,000 have managed to get out, said a preliminary Yemeni Red Islamic Thingy report released on Tuesday.

Said a senior government official in Shabwa to the nation that al Qaeda operatives in the village of Altsnyen Alihutp rejected the mediation made by government mediators.
The official said that the government forces are preparing to storm the area in the eastern part of Yemento eliminate the al-Qaeda snuffies in the coming hours.
Hopefully some American advisers are there to advise. Happy hunting, gentlemen.
The official estimated the numbers of turbans from al Qaeda at between 25 to 60 armed menand noted unconfirmed reports ofthe presence of Anwar Awlaqi who is wanted by U.S. authorities and one of the Saudi al-Qaeda leaders among those trapped.
The security source reportedheavy firing between al Qaeda bad boyz and troops from the army and security wounding 3 soldiers and citizens. The source reported that al Qaeda is using medium and light weapons in their operations and they are targeting all cars entering the zone.

If we have people worth half of what we're paying them for, they're sitting in a room with several wide screen views from Preds over head with the ability to 'throw' a penalty flag for any one caught leaving early. Consider it 'severe penalty for early withdraw'.
The Yemeni army destroyed five homes suspected of hiding al-Qaida militants Tuesday as a siege of a southern village entered its second day, but officials denied reports that U.S.-born radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki was among those surrounded.
Government forces have moved into the village of Hawta with tanks and armored vehicles and thousands of people have fled the area to escape the fighting, which is part of the government's U.S.-backed campaign to uproot the terror network's local offshoot.
Security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak to the media, said the homes that were destroyed were empty.
An unofficial website run by government opponents, Alganob.net, reported that al-Awlaki had been surrounded.
But the chief municipal official, Atiq Baouda, and the security officials denied that he was in the area under siege. The Yemeni army refused to comment on the operation.
Al-Awlaki played a key part in the failed terrorist Christmas Day attempt to take down a Detroit-bound passenger jet.
Mohammed Albasha, a spokesman for the Yemen Embassy in Washington, said the operation was in response to a recent attempted attack on a liquefied natural gas pipeline line.
He said the military had surrounded the area and was cutting off access in and out of the town.
"Most likely they'll enter the area in the next 24 hours," Albasha said.
He said the operation has nothing to do with al-Awlaki.
"His hometown is hundreds of miles away," Albasha said.
[Gulf News] A Yemeni journalist has been charged with using the media to extend tacit support to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), his lawyers said on Sunday.
"The journalist Abdul Elah Haider Shaye'e was accused of planning sabotage and criminal acts that threaten the security and stability of the nation, and providing media support for Al Qaida," said Abdul Rahman Barman, one of his lawyers, after visiting the prosecution office of the State Security Court in Sana'a with his client.
Barman said there was no hard evidence to back the charges against Shaye'e. "No, no! Certainly not!"
"It seems the charges were based on the interviews made by Shaye'e with Al Qaeda leaders," he said.
Shaye'e and his friends, cartoonist Kamal Sharaf, and Abdul Kareem Al Shami, were jugged by Yemeni intelligence sleuths on August 16 from their houses in Sana'a. Relatives and lawyers of the three men have not been allowed to visit them ever since.
The lawyers and a representative of a national journalists' syndicate said they had only listened to minutes of Shaye'e's interrogation on Sunday. Details of investigations with Sharaf and Al Shami were expected to be made available yesterday.
Marwan Dammaj, secretary-general of the Yemeni journalists syndicate who was allowed to attend the session and saw Shaye'e, said his condition called for immediate medical attention.
"Shaye'e lost one of his teeth and he showed me bruises in his chest as a result of assaults when he was jugged," Marwan told dozens of journalists who assembled at the gate of the prosecution office in a sign of solidarity with their jugged colleagues.
Shaye'e used to report on affairs connected to Al Qaeda and clinched exclusive interviews with top AQAP leader Nasser Al Wahaishy early in 2009, and later the same year with Anwar Al Awlaki, the Yemeni-American holy man who is on the CIA's 'kill or capture list'.

[Gulf News] Yemeni security authorities said two Qaeda bad boyz had been waxed on Sunday after they tried to attack a check-point in Amsha area outside the bustling little town of Lawdar in the southern province of Abyan.
The two men were identified as Khalid Nasser Mousa Al Wahaishy and Sabar Nasser Mousa Al Wahaishy. Both of them belong to the tribe of AQAP leader Nasser Al Wahaishy, according to the official statement. [Chorus sings: "It's a family affair"]
Last month, Lawdar witnessed fierce shootouts between Al Qaeda turbans and Yemeni coppers in which more than 33 combatants and civilians were greased.
The scene of the crime then shifted to the neighbouring province of Shabwah where Anwar Al Awlaki and dozens of Al Qaeda fighters are believed to be lurking.
The governor of Shabwah, Ali Hassan Al Ahmadi, said on Sunday that the anti-terror forces were "tightening the noose on the terrorists" in some hamlets in the village of Al Hawta in Mayfa'a district of Shabwah province. "The blockade will continue until we get rid of them or they surrender themselves," he said.

[Gulf News] Bahrain on Sunday stripped religious figure Husain Al Najati of his citizenship, saying that it had been obtained fraudulently.
"The directorate of citizenship, passports and residence discovered during a routine checkout of the status of naturalized Bahrainis, that Husain Mirza Abdul Baqi Mohammad Abdul Razzaq - known as Shaikh Husain Al Najati - as well as his wife and sons ... and their little dog, too!...
obtained the Bahraini citizenship in violation of the citizenship and passport laws," Shaikh Rashed Bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, the interior ministry for citizenship, passports and residence, said.
"Their Bahrain passports have therefore been withdrawn, and should the family wish to acquire the Bahraini citizenship, they should submit applications in accordance with the laws on this regard." "We shall give the matter our prompt consideration."
Also on Sunday, religious authorities suspended Sheikh Abdul Jalil Al Miqdad, a holy man in the Nuwaidrat area, 15 kilometres south of Manama, for two weeks in the first action taken against preachers who reportedly did not comply with the law.
Bahrain last month said that it wanted to reform the religious establishment and ensure that it carried "positive and moderate values" and that preachers were duly qualified to deliver sermons.
The authorities attributed the decision to suspend Al Najati to "abuses" by Al Miqdad in his sermon on Friday, threats to civil peace, blatant interference in the work of law enforcement agencies, lack of respect for judicial procedures and violation of religious discourse ethics.

I guess there aren't donk politicians trolling for votes from illegals in Bahrain. They can ship out the illegals without too much fanfare. I wonder why he came to the attention of officials--must have really ticked someone off.
[Geo TV] British detectives probing the murder of Pakistain politician Dr Imran Farooq are looking for at least two killers. "That's right, Watson! Two! Possibly more! Probably not one! And I suspect they may be Pakistani!"
"Holmes! How do you do it?"
Dr Farooq, 50, was a leading member of Pakistain's Muttahida Quami Movement party and fled to the UK in 1999, claiming asylum. He was stabbed repeatedly before being conked over the head with bricks in North London. "Bricks, you say? In North London? Watson, that may be another clue!"
Officers from Scotland Yard's Counter Terrorism Command have taken on the murder case due to a possible political motive. "Yes, Watson. I'd say a political motive is a distinct possibility!"
The last murder which the unit investigated was the poisoning in 2006 of Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko. "Since then they have been playing cards and swapping tall stories, Watson!"
Dr Farooq had previously claimed that there was a bounty on his head and he was wanted "dead or alive" by Pak authorities for criminal and terrorist activities. He insisted that the charges were politically motivated. "Ahah! And then he was murdered! Could he have been right, Watson?"
A Scotland Yard front man said: 'Police want to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time or saw the attack.' "And I'm personally curious as to why that dog didn't bark!"
"Dogs are unclean to Mohammedans!"
"Ahhh... That must be it, then. So much for that theory..."
He added: 'A post-mortem took place at Finchley Mortuary yesterday and gave cause of death as multiple stab wounds and blunt trauma to the head.' "And there was no doubt of the cause of death, Dr. Quincy?"
"None."

[Bangla Daily Star] Colombian security forces say they have killed at least 22 Farc rebels in fighting near the Ecuadorean border. Police commandos were dropped by helicopter after air force planes bombed a rebel camp in the jungle.
The fighting in the Putumayo region happened near the town of San Miguel, where eight policemen died in a rebel ambush earlier this month.
President Juan Manuel Santos said it was "the biggest blow in recent times" to the left-wing rebel group. He said the operation was a sign of how he would respond to the war strategy of the rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc).
The president succeeded Alvaro Uribe when he won a clear victory in a run-off election in June this year. During his election campaign he had pledged to continue the tough security policies of his predecessor, who left office with high approval ratings after years of hard-line policies against the rebels.
Speaking after Sunday's raid in Putumayo, Mr Santos said he had given "clear orders" to the security forces to "continue giving these kind of blows without treaty or quarter".
He also thanked the government of Ecuador for supporting the operation, saying better co-operation was improving security along the frontier.
Farc rebels have stepped up their violent campaign since president Santos took office on 7 August. Although a senior Farc leader has said the group is prepared to negotiate a settlement, more than 40 security personnel have been killed so far this month in a series of rebel attacks and ambushes.
Analysts say the raids may be intended to force the government into peace talks.
But Mr Santos has said he will not negotiate with the rebels until they release all their hostages and stop attacks.
The Putumayo region is a traditional stronghold of the Farc, as well as a major cocaine-producing area.
Both the Farc and the smaller National Liberation Army (ELN) were severely weakened by the tough security policies put in place by Mr Uribe.
Colombia's relations with Ecuador were severely strained under President Uribe after the Colombian armed forces attacked a Farc camp inside Ecuadorean territory in 2008, killing the senior Farc commander, Raul Reyes.

[Geo TV] An all-party delegation led by Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram arrived in Srinagar on a two-day visit to assess the ground situation in Kashmir Valley amid continued tension across the Indian held territory.
In Indian Kashmir, the APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, veteran Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani and other pro-movement leaders have refused to meet the visiting Indian all-party delegation in protest against the killing of innocent Kashmiri youth. "We got nuttin' to say to dem guyz!"
The APHC Chairman in press release said that assault on the life and dignity of the Kashmiri people had been relentless and daily life in the homes and streets of the territory had been turned into a nightmare as the entire population was being treated as hostage on its own soil.
He wrote that just a simple act of stepping out of house with a rock in one's hand had been turned into an act fraught with danger, threat and menace with unprecedented prolongation of the brutal curfew, ruthless persecution, topped up by some of the most uncivilized acts by a nation that claimed to abide by democratic practice and the rule of law.
My goodness, there are an awful lot of emotion-laden modifiers there. One wonders if the gentleman took an undergraduate degree in advertising or creative writing.
He maintained that the blockading of food, fuel, life-saving drugs, nocturnal raids and illegal detention of youth, clampdown on the local media and thrashing of media persons in recent days was clearly an attempt at bullying and humiliating the Kashmiris. He deplored that Kashmir had been converted into a concentration camp by India, which was deliberately denying the Kashmiri people the right to life. "More than 100 Kashmiri youngsters senselessly but brutally killed by the Indian forces in just over 100 days," he added.
The APHC Chairman said that India had failed to fulfill the promises made by its rulers of resolving the Kashmir dispute through dialogue adding that New Delhi was responding to Kashmiris' peaceful struggle with bullets and violence. He maintained that it was the high time to develop a peace processor on Kashmir as lingering of the dispute would result into more loss of human lives.
He said that the APHC, with a view to generating a conducive atmosphere for a purposeful dialogue, had put forth suggestions like revocation of draconian laws, release of political prisoners, withdrawal of troops and zero tolerance against human rights but these proposals were not taken seriously by India.
He pointed out that New Delhi offered dialogue only when a major crisis erupted in Jammu and Kashmir and as soon as the situation improved it restored inherent political complacency and negligence. He proposed that Pakistain and India should set up Kashmir committees to develop and enter into a process of engagement with Kashmiri leadership to bring about a just solution of the dispute.
Some members of the 42-member delegation are likely to call on Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani at his Hyderpora residence here. Though Geelani has officially refused to meet them, he said the delegation members will not be turned away if they decide to call on him at his house as they were guests.
The freedom fighters have given mixed signals to the visit of the delegation. While the moderate faction of Hurriyat Conference headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and JKLF led by Mohammad Yasin Malik has said that they will hold joint consultations to decide whether to meet the delegation, the hardline faction led by Geelani has decided to boycott it. The delegation hopes that the leaders of various freedom movement groups will finally come for the talks.

Oh dear. The possibilities loom unpleasantly in the mind.

(Xinhua) -- At least eight people were killed and two others injured in a U.S. drone strike launched Monday afternoon in Pakistain's northwest tribal area of North Wazoo, reported local media.
According to the report, the U.S. drones fired four missiles in the area of Tehsil Shawa in Miranshah of North Wazoo which borders Afghanistan and one of the missiles reportedly hit a vehicle carrying five local welfare workers and all of them were said to be killed.
There are also reports saying at least four foreign Islamic fascistibelonging to Hafiz Gulbahbdur group were killed in the strike.
Monday's strike is the second of its kind over the last 24 hours. On Sunday night, the U.S. drone fired three missiles targeting at a house and a car in the Datta Khel area of North Wazoo, killing six Hafiz Gulbahbdur turbans.
Located along the Pakistain-Afghanistan border area, North Wazoo is considered to be a major stronghold of Islamic fascistiin the country.
Despite the fact that the U.S. drone strike is mainly targeting at the Islamic fascistiactive in the area, many innocent people have also been mistakenly killed in such strikes and this has led to a strong resentment against the United States among the local people.
Analysts here believe that with the step-up of the U.S. drone strikes against the Islamic fascistiin Pakistain, more retaliatory actions will also be taken by the Islamic fascistiin the country in the near future.

Analysts here believe that with the step-up of the U.S. drone strikes against the Islamic fascisti in Pakistain, more retaliatory actions will also be taken by the Islamic fascisti in the country in the near future.
The fascisti are getting smacked for doing bad things. Fascisti doing additional bad things is less about retaliation and more about being fascisti in the first place.
Why can't we all get along! Bah. If the world was fair we wouldn't need an army. You make your own justice.

[Al Arabiya] Egyptian authorities detained a top security chief in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip as he flew in from the Islamist movement's base in exile in Syria as media reports revealed that Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman met Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal in Saudi Arabia this month.
"Mohammed Khamis Dababesh, head of the Hamas-run General Security service was arrested on his arrival in Cairo from Damascus late last week," Egypt's state-owned daily Al-Ahram said on Monday.
Dababesh is "suspected of involvement in activities harmful to Egyptian state security, including an attempt to traffic a significant quantity of sophisticated telecommunications equipment," the paper said.
He is also accused of being responsible in his capacity as security chief for the death in January of an Egyptian policeman during an exchange of fire at the Gaza border.
Hamas has controlled Gaza since June 2007 when it ousted forces loyal to Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. It is strongly opposed to renewed peace talks between Abbas's Palestinian Authority and Israel.
