#2
The tribesmen ... will fully cooperate if the security forces pledge to withdraw ... after the operation.

The tribesmen should fully cooperate AND the security forces should stay after the operation. The tribesmen have forfeited their previous autonomy by allowing their area to be used as a base of terrorist operations against Afghanistan and against the Pakistani government. Welcome to the real world, tribesmen!

#7 Jeesh, Ghulam. Are you going to write your little "dog" quote on every thread.

I think you are just jealous of the fine treatment our dogs get...living in air conditioned palaces and all. Is it hot where you are?

#8 .com,

Nope. Not the same old nut. It's a different nut. This guy posts from rr.com, and it's the same origination for each post.

Boris' latest seems to have come from iplannetworks.net, the one before that from techtelnet.net, and last night from hostplus.net. He's also used ultrawholesale.com.au, and one lookup dies on win.be. I still think he's one of the guys using the product of all those emails that say "click here right away!"

One of those thoughtful caring adverts by people concerned with the size of your, uh, wallet?

#11 On the other hand, Ghulam is the same person as Lopez, jose, Jacob, Ben, Motin, Allah Rakha, and micheal. Sounds like the medication's running low...

#16 So the Pakies get their civil war. Kind of reminds me of that line "Badges, I don't have no badges".

#17 Lucky do you mean "Badges, we don't need no stinkin' badges"? I think it was from Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

#19 As oft misquoted as "play it again, Sam" (which is wrong). "I don't have to show you any stinking badges" - Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

#21 10,000 vs 400.

Lets be fair to the pakis. if youre just trying to blast away at something its one thing. If your trying to take as many as possible alive, and especially some high value AQ guy, who wants to make a break for it, it makes sense to have enough guys to establish a cordon around a huge area like they did. Even if they screwed up and let the big quarry get away. and much (most?) of the 10,000 are unreliable tribals, useful for little more than manning the outer cordon. How regulars are actually doing the front line fighting? take 400, multiply by some usual need of a 3 to 1 advantage for an attacker against a fixed position, double that say, for this being a well established fixed position, and assume that the hardened AQ chechens and Uzbeks are 50% more efficient than the average Paki soldier. that would mean you'd need over 4000 Pakis on the front line. Figure the other 6,000 are to man the extensive outer cordon. Sounds like not an unreasonable amount for this battle. Better too many, than too few, if they can keep them supplied easily.

#22 Agree LH. But to cut down on the verbage. The Paks screwed the poochy. They are not now, nor have they ever been a country, army or even a people. Fu*j 'em and their queer notions of nationhood.
