#2 I'd like to see an ISI vs Reg Army slugout in Pakland. I know they're partially one and the same, but I can dream, can't I? Hardly a sovereign stable country when the ISI-aided-and-abetted (if not indirectly controlled) terrorists are killing more of your own citizens than abroad

#3 It was barbaric attacks like this that finally swung the Iraqis against Zarqawi. We'll see if it does the same with the Pakistanis, or whether the 'senior US official' is right. Even though this was done in the heart of 'secure' territory, I regard it as an act of weakness, not strength. I'd send a message right back at them and round up another dozen high-ranking Taliban, and execute a couple.

#5 this is bad; very bad

op well organized, terrorists motivated and well trained and they had good intel

as in similar attacks, the fatality count will probably rise during the day

#6 Good catch, Snakes T.

The story was published on Dec. 4th. Might explain some recent actions against the Taliban leadership. ??

#7 Might explain some recent actions against the Taliban leadership. ?? Come to think of it, the Paki Taliban have been getting whacked a lot since December.

Dang. I was starting to hope the Pakistanis would take it to the next level.
