#2 Six gomers, and it took you 17 hours to find and kill four of them? On a military base?

In the immortal words of Jed Clampett: "Pityfull. Jes' pityfull."

You would be surprised where people can lay up, even in one building. Especially if someone had provided the attackers with advance information.

#4 I would suppose artillary etc. was used sparingly if at all.

Quite a little raid, got 2 P3C's and headlines.

#5 This base is the HQ for their Navy commandos.
Probably indicates how deep the rot (islamization of the military) has set in.

#6 whether they put up a tough fight or not it still took 17 hrs. for COMMANDOS too get them? And they talk all that shit about attacking our SEAL teams if they ever try another Bin laden move again.

#9 DEFENCE FORUM OF INDIA > US SAYS PAKISTAN MODIFIED [Harpoon NLCMS] TO STRIKE INDIA, in Land Attack missions + besides also the US-supplied P-3's for same.

IOW, THE TALIBAN MAY HAD IRONICALLY JUST SAVED INDJUH'S B *** FROM SOME FUTURE TROUBLE???

#10 As for allegations that PAK AF Airmen were sabotaging their own US-supplied F-16's, it may be related to ...

To wit,

* DEFENCE FORUM INDIA > CHINA AGREES TO GIVE J-20/FC-20 FIFTH GENERATION STEALTH FIGHTERS TO PAKISTAN.

However ...

* INDIAN DEFENCE FORUM > PAKISTAN CANNOT SELL
[SIno-Pak produced] JF-17's FOR TEN YEARS.

* SAME > PAKISTAN ASKED CHINA TO INDUCT THE JF-17 INTO PLA, as per the above Artic in order to make PAK mass-produced versions saleable on the international warplane markets.

However, again, because China has a long history of preferring [USSR-style]inter-State econ barter to cash assistance, ECON-TROUBLED PAKISTAN RISKS BEING ON ITS OWN TO UNILATER ABSORB THE BULK [all?] OF THE JF-17'S DEVELOPMENT + PRODUCTION COSTS???

IOW, MUSLIM PAKISTAN GETS STUCK WID A HANDFUL OR SMALL NUMBER OF NEXT-GENERATION ADVANCED FIGHTERS, WHOSE UPKEEP + MAINTENANCE IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO $$$ AFFORD WID OR WIDOUT CHINA, AS RELATIVE TO PAK-PERCEIVED WILY DASTARDLY HISTORICAL FOE HINDU INDIA???

E.G. DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > PAKISTAN WILL [have to] [militarily?]RESPOND IFF US DRONE STRIKES DON'T STOP: ISI CHIEF [LTG. Ahmed Pasha].

* DAWN.COM > EXPERTS WARN GOVT. OF FAMINE THREAT IN PAKISTAN. National Sovereignty = Security linked to FOOD SECURITY, espec iff Islamabad Politicos hope to prevent USSR-style collapse = post-USSR Russia geopol weakness.

[CHINA'S problematic "THREE GORGES" DAM here].

Iff Pakistan is expecting serious Regional, Global geopol troubles 2011-2020/2025 ["perfect storm"], then given their country's steadily worsening econ woes it behooves Islamabad + Pak Armed Forces to diversify their resources for thier own effec National Security.
