#9 I really like the Rantburg News Service. It gives you the, um, local flavor of things.

#11 I protest.

This "reporter" for this alleged "news service" failed to account for the wimminz, chilluns, minorities and fluffy baby chipmunks that were undoubtedly affected the worst by this oppressive action by an illegitimate colonialist regime trying to curry favor with the evil overlord, Chimpy W. McHitlerburton.

In addition, this "reporter" also failed to mention the gruesome images from Abu Ghraib, the impending civil war in Iraq, or the fact that it didn't snow again today in Washington DC on account of Monkeyboy not signing Kyoto.

I intend to complain most vigorously to the Newspaper Guild, just as soon as they call off their strike.

#12 No, no, Em. No baby ducks are hurt when the Pakistani army attacks a village using their patented "spray and pray" firing technique. Baby ducks are only hurt when the ChimpyMcBush's military attacks, using weapons so precise that the pilot has to toggle the "Men's Room or Ladies' Room" selector switch. Haven't you been paying attention to Human Rights Watch?

#13 Ahem, that toggle switch is labeled "Men's Room or Wimmin's Room".

#15 Pakistan has done 1/1000th of 1/100th of 1% of the actual effort required. Much more is required to stablize the region. Draining the pool of more lamers that will continue to destabilize the region and try to continue to live as if they are in the middle ages with modern weapons is required. Zero effort or political will has been applied by Pakistan.

I give GWB a F on his actual results in regards to getting Pakistan to act. Try harder.

#16 I'm not sure we can force anything in Pakistan, except the disintegration of Musharraf's government and in the installation of open Islamacists in his place.

What we need at the moment is for Afghanistan to continue to progress and for our relationship with India to solidify and deepen. Then when Pakistan falls apart the shrapnel will be contained mostly within its own borders.

#18 I second that idea, Frank. w00t!

Y'know, this should be emailed to Dubya - I have zero doubts that he'd be howling by the 3rd paragraph, lol.

Magisterial, Fred!

#20 Yeah, Classic Fred. Likely took him several days to right that.

#21 Great countercommnetary Fred, but I'd like to see some of those terms and phrases we get in the local reports that get edited out in by the big news agencies.

A couple of examples picked at random from a PakTribune article on the same event;

He said that gunship helicopters are being used in the operation

whereas a security forces person also embraced Shahdat.

#22 OK, I got a serious question for everyone, just as soon as I'm able to breathe again:

What's been the actual ratio of forces deployed in this manner in Waziristan compared to those deployed in Balochistan?

#23 Great commentary, Fred.

using weapons so precise that the pilot has to toggle the "Men's Room or Ladies' Room" selector switch.

As someone who has helped develop the circuitry for those weapons, I give that one a hearty ... bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
