![]() "NOMOREWARFORISRAEL" wrote in message ... The Pakistani Army has been given orders to retaliate against any unilateral strike by the Afghanistan-based US troops inside the country. How? -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea. |

They've admitted that the locals up in the hills gave their army a bloody nose last year... The election confirmed the secular authorities in power (for a given value of 'secular' here) and so more or less ratified some sort of campaign against the religious maniacs and also more or less sanctioned working with the USA. The major problem in Pakistan is the army, and especially the ISI, who seem to be essentially independent of the civil power and in a position to do what they want, up top and including to taking over the government again. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

My point was that how many govts say one thing for public consumption while doing the opposite behind the scenes? It's not like the Pakistani Army operates freely in the tribal areas. |

And perhap the Paki's start shooting those UAV's rather than just watch them fly over. We Also have ****ed off the Afgans on our side of the border by killing too many civies. |

They might shoot, I doubt they'd hit any, and even if they did, who'd care? -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
