#2 Blah, blah. What a puff piece. I've seen this before. He killed Bhutto and now he's in the cross hairs. Bad news, Baitullah, as soon as you become a household name, it means your days are limited.

There's a better than even chance that Osama bin Laden is living somewhere in Waziristan under Baitullah's protection I suspect within a year or two at most, Baitullah will be "living" with him.

#3 sorry, I guess I was being a bit tired and cranky. It's an interesting and informative article. But these guys are little more than intelligent barbarians. And as soon as their name and atrocities become known by the civilized west, they are dead men walking. It's spears v/s laser guided munitions. They aren't even close to being as big and important as they think they are.

Your days are numbered, bait-breath.

#4 WG, I agree with your comments. Mehsud will get whacked at some point, either because he's insufficiently loyal to al-Q, or because he starts to imagine himself as the new emir with the gold-pipped, curly-toed slippers (these two possibilities are not mutually exclusive), or because someone in the Coalition forces just across the border finally is allowed to turn the man into cranberry jam.

In the meantime, this was the best background piece I could find.

#5 sorry. The article was a great find! I wasn't my intention to criticize the info, - I just was expressing frustration how they always make these goat-herders look like these super-hero warriors. Please forgive!
