U.S., Afghan Troops Kill 20 in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD, Sept. 3 -- At least 20 people were killed in northwest Pakistan on Wednesday after U.S. and Afghan troops crossed from Afghanistan to pursue Taliban insurgents in an early morning attack that marked the first known instance in which U.S. forces conducted an operation on Pakistani soil.

The arrival of three U.S. helicopters in the village of Musa Nika, clearly inside the Pakistani border, drew a sharp response from Pakistani officials.

"We strongly object to the incursion of ISAF troops on Pakistani territory," said Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas, chief spokesman for the Pakistani military.

Can you say high-value target(s)?

I knew you could.

Good info....I got alot of that info at work today and it said as well that Paki’s were saying around 20 wimmin and kiddie’s were murdered by our troops and 1 or 2 Tally Whackers captured and taken.

Disinformation from the Paki’s shows they are part of the problem versus the solution. US needs to tell em step back or get stepped on.
