Another US air attack on Waziristan

submitted 1 hour 19 minutes ago

SOUTH WAZIRISTAN -US aircrafts violated Pakistan air space and launched another air strike in the South Waziristan tribal region, witnesses said on Thursday. There was no casualty but the air raid at Angoor Ada near the Afghan border created panic among the people.
According to sources, the US planes on Wednesday night bombed Zeyub mountainous range, around 25 km west of Wana, the center of South Waziristan. The air strike uprooted trees and created deep caves in the mountainous region.
After the US air strike, more than 10 Mortar shells were fired from the Bermal area in Afghanistan, locals said. The shells landed at Angoor Adda, Bagar and Moosa Nika and caused huge explosions, they said.
An official said that the local administration had also received information about the air strike.
The air strike on Waziristan came a day after US planes bombed Mohmad Agency and killed 11 Pakistani soldiers and other people.
Sources said that the American spy planes were seen flying at low altitude in North Waziristan.

Sounds like GWB is telling the troops to give them hell. Good.

Shame that’s all it did.

Any bets that Osama assumes room temperature before the end of the year?

We should have been doing this stuff in October of 2001. Pakistan has only been on our side just enough so they can say they are making an effort. We need to beat the crap out of north west Pakistan and a lot of problems and problem makers will be eliminated.

He may assume 10,000 degrees before he assumes room temperature if a Hellfire missle gets him. Course he could be dead already.

I don’t necessarily take this report at face value but even if it is not I think we are seeing a change in the way the war is being fought.

The action seems to focus closer and closer to the border (both sides!) rather than in Qandahar or Tarin Qowt or more central locations. Maybe I am reading too much into things but I sense a change.

I predict that before George Bush leaves office, he will ensure that Bin Laden is a dead man...

“There was no casualty . . .”

Sounds familiar.
