#1 From Dawn.com

The militants, who had sneaked into Gokand valley of Buner on April 4, were reported to have been on a looting spree for the past five days.

They have robbed government and NGO offices of vehicles, computers, printers, generators, edible oil containers, and food and nutrition packets.

Sources said that leading political figures, businessmen, NGO officials and Khawaneen, who had played a role in setting up a Lashkar to stop the Taliban from entering Buner, had been forced to move to other areas.

The Taliban have extended their control to almost all tehsils of the district and law-enforcement personnel remained confined to police stations and camps.

Some peace! 100 miles from Islamabad. I got this gut feeling that shit is about to hit the fan.

There, fixed it for you, Paul2. I also agree that the current government's days are numbered - and running very short.

#4 I smelled rats the size of elephants with this one, too. The Pak military has had the silence of the lambs for weeks now, and I suspect they have just moved into their barracks and are sitting on their thumbs.

All the city folk and lawyers who were beating the drum against Musharraf and the military are now going to get to enjoy life under Sharia and the rule of whim, until they get their royal fill of it, with a bunch of "country bumpkins" riding herd over them, beating and killing and raping at will. And stealing everything that isn't nailed down.

And, of course, Obambi and company don't have a clue as to what is going on, or what to do. Which is a great opportunity for massive clusterfark.
