#1 Well now. I guess since it's no longer part of Pakistan, nobody will object when we bomb the crap out of it...

#3 Mojois right on. The Pak's should say you are on your own. They can have it back in a few month's.

"After a 30-minute battle, the US base is in flames and the members of the squad return to their base. "
If they left the base in flames, whay would they go back to thier base? Sure the film of is'nt of them running from thier base? probally look the same.

#4 It's a night video. A viewer couldn't tell the difference between a burning base and a brushpile. Throw in a few exploding grenades and the local Paki Wakis will think they've just seen Star Wars Episode 7. Luckily for the US, Commander Cody was there to save the day.

Hank, If Waziristan is anything like my area of Mass, even that wouldn't be too helpful. We have three towns here: Westboro, Northboro, and Southboro. Northboro is actually to the north (but also the west), Southboro is to the east, and Westboro is to the south.

Western Pakistan. Boardering Afghanistan on its west, Balochistan is to the south, and IIRC the Northwest Tribal Provinces are to the north. The Punjab is to the east. Distictive language (Waziri.) Very peculiar tribal customs, which usually involve acting like idiots.

This link helps a little
