US military not needed to track Osama: Orakzai
2006-09-13
Pakistan does not need US-led coalition forces based in Afghanistan to help them capture Osama Bin Laden on home soil, NWFP Governor Jan Orakzai said on Tuesday. "If Osama's presence is confirmed in any part of our area adjoining Afghanistan, or for that matter anywhere in Pakistan, we have these troops stationed there to carry out that job," the governor told a press conference. "We have not deployed our 80,000 troops for nothing. They are there for a purpose," he said. "We are guarding practically all the possible crossing routes."

"We have our friends with electronic intelligence," Mr Orakzai said. "We have our own means of electronic intelligence. And the political administration has its own intelligence system."

#7  Mike, it's no longer possible to tell if Perv is on our side. Period. I hope you're right, but I'm not counting upon it. Perv's inability or unwillingness to dismantle the ISI can no longer be construed as anything but continued voluntary participation in terrorism.

#6  ..You know, let me suggest something here: Given some of the stories over the last few days, especially the 'agreement' that got signed between Perv and the Wazooz - does anyone think it's possible that a CYA is being set up for Perv because we DO have Osama or Zawahiri finally boxed in, if not caught? Something along the lines of, "Look - we left y'all alone, and we told the Yankees it was cool - not our fault they came in there after you..."

That's because they know exactly where bin Laden is.

We need to reward them with nuclear fire the next time some Pakistani terrorists attempt another Islamic atrocity.

Can you tell that I've had enough of this shit?

#2  That viewpoint could be because he is living in an ISI villa? Maybe next door too Khan?
