The Pakistan Army may be considering a move into the militant stronghold of North Waziristan, US Senator Joe Lieberman said on Sunday.For all their hyperconcern about our violations of their sovreignty with dronezaps, the Paks are pretty cavalier about a large chunk of their country being controlled by Arabs and their local puppets.

Alert: The two senators -- who met COAS General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani during their recent visit to Pakistan -- went on to say that the US is "ahead of the game" in its fight against extremists, but it must remain alert and pursue its enemies to new battlefields in Yemen and elsewhere.
"We have chased some of the Al Qaeda enemy to Yemen, but the fact is that in the last year, there have been more than a dozen known attempted terrorist attacks on the United States. Three of them broke through our defences " Lieberman said.
"America is safer since 9/11, but not safe for sure. We have a long way to go, but I think we have made significant progress. I think we have shown that Al Qaeda can land almost anywhere. Where there is fertile ground, they are going to breed," McCain said.
"Now, the latest [front], of course, is Yemen, where there certainly is a significant challenge," he added.
