| Pakistan reportedly linked to 2007 attack on US troops |
| 2011-09-29 |
| [Dawn] A US newspaper has alleged that Pakistain was involved in an attack on US soldiers in 2007 on the border with Afghanistan. The attack resulted in the death of a US major and injured three other American soldiers, along with an Afghan interpreter. The New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... has reported that the attack took place in the border town of Teri Mangal, where the US soldiers were meeting with Afghan officials in a schoolhouse. Although the reason for the attack was not made clear but it has been reported that it took place as a retaliation for US involvement in the death of Pak citizens. The US reportedly covered up the incident due to the necessity of its alliance with Pakistain. Pak and American officials have so far refused to comment on the the incident. The timing of the leak has been regarded as poignant by analysts who point out that the revelation has come at a time when US-Pakistain relations have been under enormous strain. |

| #2 Games being played. Yes why now. Remember 2007, according to the NYT and its readership, the evil-but-dumb BusHitler and his diabolical puppet-master Cheney were in charge. Iraq was a Quagmire which General "Betray-Us" and his incompetent-because they didn't-finish-college military wouldn't solve. Afghanistan was the Good War, because the enlightened, Progressive elite said so. Reporting that the Paks were involved in killing US troops would have conflicted with the meme. It's four years later. Someone Must Be Blamed. |

| #1 Games being played. Yes why now. Sad if true. Incessant drum beat of negativism. Everything now is coming out of the woodwork. Next we will have Zogby poll with the Paks hating us. Like its now in vogue to pile it on. One dog barks and the others join in. I give this NYT story the stink eye. |
