#1 The Islamabad administration sealed the capital early on Saturday to avoid possible suicide attacks.

Is anyone else laughing up their sleeve over this announcement? I'm not. I'm bursting out in riotous laughter! These Pakistani assholes have been spreading their jihadist filth for years and only now does it finally come back to bite them on the ass.

Best of all is how they are being subjected to the very most difficult sort of assailant to detect; The bomb vest attacker. After having bred up so many of this particular species of vermin, it is gratifying in the extreme to see their own very much more porous security being infiltrated by such murderous thugs. "It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch" doesn't even begin to cover it.

#5 Right now there are decent and worthy Britishers who are most likely crying over their morning tea for the lost sons and daughters that will never again come home. Rubbing the sleep out of their eyes are young boys and girls whose mums and dads will never tousle their hair as they wake up in the morning. Everywhere are people without brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, grandfolk and grandkids who are all DEAD because of Pakistan's ceaseless terrorist BULLSHIT.

Ask me again just how sad I am that Islamabad is reaping as it has sown.
Go ahead, ask me.

#7 Putting aside my urge to call this a fitting irony, I cannot say this is a positive development.

Hamas vs Fatah in the Gaza strip seemed like it would whittle down the bad guys. There was just one problem - in that confrontation the (worse) bad guys won out.

IMO, Pakistani society is likely to be intimidated/coerced and to cave in to radical Islamic demands like keeping the Pakistani army out of their badlands and raising a stink about foreign teams operating there. Musharraf's support is already shaky; spasms of violence in population centers could have unpredictable consequences.

And we really can not afford for all hell to break loose in that powder keg, especially now that the critical moment for stabilizing Iraq and maintaining political support against Jihad Incorporated has arrived.

The worst bad guys are the bad guys who are considered "better worst guys" and therefore enjoy a measure of protection from direct action by the good guys. IDF has a lot more freedom of action in Gaza now.

Think Saudi Arabia. Think Musharraf. Think Arafat.
