Washington Post ^ | 11June 08

The military official said the Pakistani troops were killed when NATO forces in Afghanistan unleashed a barrage of artillery into Pakistan in the area ...

[PurpleMan]

Not a good thing.

Wapo report, usually means something important wan’t included.

If the Pakistan government would have taken care of the Taliban problem, instead of granting them a safe haven none of this would have happen.

Pakistan is a silent enemy really. I believe they also knew about 9/11 before hand.

[mass55th]

"Taliban militants apparently opened fire and were then joined by Pakistani military forces, setting off an hours-long battle. It is unclear what prompted the exchange of fire."

This reads like the Pakistani forces were fighting alongside the Taliban.

Another problem caused by the Drats sticking their nose into the US foreign policy by advocating Bhutto over Musharef (sp). The result of this has given our trembling ally a case to make peace not war with the taliban/AQ crowd.

This reads like the Pakistani forces were fighting alongside the Taliban.

Which is probably why we smoked ALL their candyasses. If you associate with the Taliban and fight alongside them, then expect to blow up real good.

Exactly what I was going to write.

Not to worry - Hussein will solve everything.

didn’t he say that he would attack Pakistan?

>>> At least 11 Pakistani soldiers and 10 other people were killed... Pakistan's Army, the statement said, maintained "the right to protect our citizens and soldiers against aggression."

I could be wrong but if you are going to make yourselves human shields for terrorists is seems to me that you are going to die.
What am I missing here?

[2001convSVT]

I had not thought of that but I can believe it the way Pakistan is behaving.

[HD1200]

But Senator Biden & Senator Hagel went to Pakistan and interfered with their free elections to make sure opponents of Mushareff were elected....!

You mean 20/20 hindsight Biden was wrong about anybody being better than Mushareff in Pakistan, especially now that the government is releasing Taliban officials from prisons?

Well, Joe Biden is NEVER WRONG due to his incredible ability for 20/20 hindsight.....so I must be wrong.

[freedomson]

Yep, well....

That's unfortunate.

It really is.

[omega4179]

Exactly.

[Wavrnr10]

And just what were Pak Army forces doing hangin with the Taliban rebels. I think guilt by association is due here. I also noticed that all the barking is coming from rebel and tribesmen leaders and the official goverment had nothing to say. Time will tell who is the two faced liars are.

[Thermalseeker]

Pakistan's Army, the statement said, maintained "the right to protect our citizens and soldiers against aggression."

Precisely what our guys were doing.....

[Straight Vermonter]

More details about the fighting near Mohmand. I asked the question on the earlier thread about our guys fighting on the Pakistan side of the border. It seems that there was fighting on that side.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks..

Cross linking to yesterday's thread:

Another AQ Leader Targeted In Pakistan Tribal Areas!

What the Washington Post fails to mention is that this is a disputed area on the Afghan-Pakistan border.

For more information check out this article from a Pakistani site. There are reports of a skirmish and official Pakistani denial that a skirmish took place.

They left out that it is an area disputed by Afghanistan and Pakistan according to this Pakistani source.
