Pakistan army vows to 'eliminate' terror after al-Qaida threat to Musharraf
2007-09-21
Pakistan's military vowed Thursday to eliminate terrorism, undeterred by a call from al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden for a rebellion against President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.

"We have the aim and objective, as our national duty, to eliminate terrorists and eradicate extremism," army spokesman Maj.-Gen. Waheed Arshad said. "Such threats issued through videos or in any other way cannot deter us" from fulfilling that duty, Arshad said. In a new audiotape released Thursday, bin Laden said the Pakistan army's bloody siege of fighters holed up in Islamabad's Red Mosque made Musharraf an infidel.

#2  Maybe all they really needed was to have the situation clarified for them so everybody can get off the fence and choose one side or the other. The worriesome part is the Pak army doesn't have a very good record and Binny would just love to get his hands on their nukes. My guess is that if Perv wants to keep his job he will have little choice but to do as gorb suggests. Otherwise he might as well catch the next flight to London.

#1  Serious? Stop badmouthing US raids over the border. In fact, encourage them. Draw pictures and put X's on maps where it would be nice to have a 2000# bomb go off at 3:00am.
