Video of the funeral for the Soldiers.
fyi
friendship and support purchased with dollars is only paper thin.
Probably Taliban orchestrating a friendly fire incident by firing from an area occupied by Pakistani troops hoping for this.
Bingo.
Collateral damage.
Must have hit an important target.
“”We do not allow our territory to be used...”
...except by jihadis.
I kinda doubt it.

Probably troops that are actually the enemy. If they are complaining, that is a good sign we hit the right target and they are trying to use PR to make us stop because it is working. The liberal media wants us to stop so that we lose the war.
This does not pass the smell test. How does Pak soilders get killed in the artillery strike along with the Terrorist?
Seems to me someone was helping some terrorists, and got caught!
Something does not smell right!!!!!
Maybe we are getting ready for President Obama’s invasion of Pakistan?
Afghan troops clash with the Taliban on the border
******************EXCERPTS*******************

The Afghan Army clashed with the Taliban in the Pakistani tribal agency of Mohmand on June 10. While initial reports indicated the US conducted a targeted airstrike against a Taliban or al Qaeda target in the tribal agency, the aircraft appear to have been supporting Afghan troops. Pakistani soldiers were killed in the fighting.
The fighting started after Afghan forces attacked a Taliban force as it attempted to cross the border. Between 10 and 13 Pakistani soldiers were killed after Afghan and US forces pursued Taliban forces fleeing into Pakistan.
"The militants launched a cross-border attack into Afghanistan," an unnamed Pakistani security official told Reuters. "At least 10 of our soldiers were killed in a counter-offensive by forces in Afghanistan." Geo TV reported 13 Pakistani soldiers, including a major, were killed. An estimated 50 Pakistani soldiers were manning an outpost in Suran Dara along the Afghan-Pakistani frontier. The region borders Afghanstan's Kunar province.
Mullah Omar, a spokesman for the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, said the fighting occurred after US and Afghan forces attacked Taliban positions inside Mohmand. Omar stated that Pakistani troops were not deployed in the region.
The Pakistani military's public relations department initially denied Afghan and Pakistani troops clashed in Mohmand. Major General Athar Abbas, the chief spokesman for the Pakistani military, said Afghan troops crossed the border to establish a checkpoint in the area. But the Pakistani military later "condemned this completely unprovoked and cowardly act on the (military) post and regretted the loss of precious lives of our soldiers."
All of the reports indicated NATO aircraft were involved in the fighting. The initial reports of a possible US airstrike sparked speculation the US conducted another targeted attack on senior al Qaeda or Taliban leaders in Pakistan's tribal areas. But it appears the US warplanes were backing
Once we knock out Iran, we can begin the invasion of Pakistan, but doubt Obama will have the moral courage to do it.
***************************
Voices of America reported that the Pakistani Army personel killed were "para military." That with Tehrik-e-Taliban spokesman saying that the Pakistani military isn't deployed there. What's going on here, this whole thing just smells really strange.]
Eight Talibani’s were killed at the same time? Sounds to me like the Paki’s were place fast and loose with our enemies. Pakistan created the Taliban and they’re still helping them...IMHO this proves it.
