ISLAMABAD: Government accused U.S. troops today of making an incursion into its territory while hunting al Qaeda and Taliban militants, the second such incident this month. The troops intruded into a border village in the North Waziristan tribal region on Thursday and searched several houses before moving back into Afghanistan, military spokesman Major-General Shaukat Sultan told Reuters.

| #9 Raj, A win-win for the Perv. He winks, we win, we subdue a rebellious province for him. He winks, we loose, he leads the new Mujahideen against the Great Satan. |

| #8 Private : Sarge? Doesn't the map say that the border runs to the left of the tree, across the rock outcrop, then bends left across the little bridge running over that there brook. Sargeant: Private! your map is upside-down. Private: Yes Sarge. Aaah yes! There are no squirrels in the tree on the map. It's that tree over there. . . |

| #4 . . .fresh batteries for the GPS Steve - There you go stealing my line. Tsk tsk tsk. He he he Mr. D. - Precisely. The Army would never have two battery incidents in the same platoon. But how do we know if the Army's map may have had a typo? On Raj's serious note. Yes. Hunch. Remarks for public consumption. Privately, we get a wink, as long as we keep it within a certain distance of the border, which is poorly defined anyway. |

| #3 Not sure if anyone else has brought this up, but does this show that we have tacit approval (by Perv, et. al.) to make these 'incursions', or is it that we just don't give a rat's ass? |

| #2 The Waziri Triangle is on the exact opposite side of the globe from the Bermuda Triangle. GPS Never works there. |
