| Militants warn US-led forces against attack in Pakistan |
| 2008-07-18 |
| Amar Bil Maroof Wa Nahi Anil Munkir, a Bara-based militant group, has warned United States-led coalition troops against carrying out attacks inside the Tribal Areas, Dawn News reported on Thursday. According to the channel, Amar Bil Maroof spokesman Munsif Ali said at a press conference held in the Bara tehsil of Khyber Agency that the groups' fighters would fight alongside the Pakistan Army if the NATO forces launched an attack inside Pakistani territory. The spokesman said that if the NATO forces entered Pakistani territory, the militants would retaliate in a way that would remind the US of the devastation of the September 11 attacks. |

| #20 I'd rather they know exactly who did it and why and a big "don't make us come back there" if they squawk |

| #18 The boom was produced by a F-4 flying just above the speed of sound at an altitude of 100 feet. Over downtown Vegas?... |

| #17 I like OS's idea; and the data re: the Phantom would be ideal to use and since the US has retired all it's F-4's ( of all flavors) then we could hide behind the plausible denaibility shield. HEE-HEE, wudn't us. Bet there are several Phantom Phliers and Phixers out there that would love to wind those J-79's back up........ |

| #15 The strongest sonic boom ever recorded was 144 pounds per square foot 144? Jeebus, is that the same as overpressure? If it is that would knock down the Sunsshine Skyway. Maybe it's measured differently. |

| #13 Wouldn't it be nice if we could tell these bast**** that we will pursue anyone anywhere who has shot at our troops. You come to Afghan turf. We will likely tolerate you. You shoot at us, you die. Whether it's on Afghan soil, Pak soil, or anyplace else, the results the same. We will go after you until you are captured or dead. Either way is fine with us. I know I'm daydreaming on this one, but isn't it such a lovely dream? And wouldn't it change a lot of people's behavior? |

| #12 The above would be a sort-of "We heard you, did you hear us?" |

| #11 I dunno. Maybe an old Israeli thign woudl work (back when they had balls)... Run a pair of 16's or F-18s at 200 ft above his ville, going mach+, with maybe a bone trailing it on full afterburner (B-1B, rated Mach 1.2 at sealevel), and a buff to rattle the windows. Too bad we dont have an SR-71 to use... (or do we? heh) Sonic boom would shatter tons of things. And two within seconds would be sure to indicate that it was no accident. That would scare the hell out of the locals, and let him contemplate just how bad the screams of his children and relatives are now, and how they would be were a real attack ordered. from af.mil... The strongest sonic boom ever recorded was 144 pounds per square foot and it did not cause injury to the researchers who were exposed to it. The boom was produced by a F-4 flying just above the speed of sound at an altitude of 100 feet. In recent tests, the maximum boom measured during more realistic flight conditions was 21 pounds per square foot. There is a probability that some damage -- shattered glass, for example, will result from a sonic boom. Buildings in good repair should suffer no damage by pressures of less than 16 pounds per square foot. |

| #9 I really do wish we'd take one of these goat-rapers up on his bs and do a "shock and awe" on them the RIGHT way - a dozen B-52s with iron bombs from 45,000 feet, a couple of dozen B-1s on the deck with JDAMs and incindiaries, and a half-dozen AC-130s down low for a follow-up on the survivors, if there are any. Of course, the demoncritters would never let us wage REAL war against anyone - heaven forbid! I'm getting really sick and tired of fighting a two-front war - one in south Asia and one in Washington, DC. |

| #8 Things are pretty simple Amar Munkir. We are fighting terrorists and Taliban in Afghanistan, and when chesed they run for sanctuary on your side of the border. Either you stop those people on your side, or we will. We will pursue them, and if you get in our way, you will die. In large numbers. Quickly. Threaten a 9/11 attack? Fine, we will flatten your entire region. |

| #7 Amar Bil Maroof Wa Nahi Anil Munkir the dread ABMWNAM has speaked! BTW: It translates as: Bill the Kafirs, the goat stays with the asparagus. |

| #6 Oh noes! Not the Paki Army!! |

| #5 While I don't consider the threat much more than hot air, as comments go on Pakistani army, you have to remember who's guarding those Pakistani nukes. This may very well be insight into the possibility that opposition forces in Pakistan have allies in critical areas. Pakistan might be a smoking hole in the earth sooner than we think (sequel, of course, to something very egregious)... |

| #4 Isn't that exactly what they said when we were getting ready to go into Afghanistan? |

| #3 "that the groups' fighters would fight alongside the Pakistan Army" We all know what side the Pakistan army are on dont we! |

| #2 Here's a deal, guys: you stay the f*** out of Afghanistan, and we'll stay out of Pakistan. M'kay? |
