Officials reported ‘intense bombardment’ of the South Waziristan Agency by Pakistan’s military, as General Parvez Kayani vowed to cleanse the area of people with an “anti-state agenda.”
Today forces engaged in a 16 hour battle to capture what is being described as a “significant mountaintop.” 15 militants were reported killed, as well as one Pakistani soldier, in the clash.
Pakistan’s military insists the offensive is going extremely well, though so far they have only managed to capture one hilltop and a tiny village, and the village took over a week of non-stop fighting to gain control over.
Officials say they estimate that the conflict will only take another six to eight weeks, but concede that the offensive is open-ended. If past examples are any indication, it will likely go on well beyond the projected end date.
Good, what-ever, it's their project, not should not be ours. We have our own gov/corporate elite terrorists that must be dealt with. Our representatives are getting rich from political contrubution bribes. The US need government representation here at home, and do not have an interest in ruling the world. We still haven't even had a real investigation to what really happened on September 11, 2001, while our Constitution and Bill of Rights are being trashed..
We either need to get the Taliban in a vise between the Pakistan Army and us and wipe them out, or get out of Afghanistan completely and do it now.
In time of war, the loudest patriots are theb greatest profiteers.
