| Yeah. Really. That 'zackly what they're gonna do. I believe it. Yup... WANA, Pakistan: Ahmedzai tribesmen in South Waziristan Agency has announced to form a tribal army within two days to aid the government in battling foreign terrorists and the people providing refuge to them. They’re gonna fight themselves? Hundreds of tribesmen held a traditional Jirga, or council meeting, in the town of Wana in South Waziristan, which was also attended by the Political Agent Azam Khan and other officials. Tribal elders assured the administration that there was no place for the foreign terrorists in Waziristan. If they were present in the area they should leave it forthwith. Thought there weren’t any foreign terrorists in Wazland?
Maybe the bulldozers got their attention. The meeting also decided that the political administration will provide a list of suspects involved in rocket attacks on the Army Colony in Wana and the South Waziristan scout camps to tribal elders, which will help the administration in their earlier arrest. Political administration assured tribal elders that the foreign terrorists arrested from the agency would not deported to any other country and tried according to the Pakistani law. As long as they don’t get released this century, you can hold on to them. | |

| #2 Perhaps they ended noticing that the AL Quaida Arabs considered them like untermenschen. Pashtouns are proud and they will not put up with people who despise no matter how holy they are. Specially being despised by people who lose their wars in Six Days. |

| #1 Ahmedzai tribesmen in South Waziristan Agency has announced to form a tribal army within two days to aid the government in battling foreign terrorists and the people providing refuge to them. Foreign terrorists are probably defined here as American FBI agents. The enablers of these "foreign terrorists" would be people like Musharraf and people who support him. |
