Bush Said to Give Orders Allowing Raids in Pakistan By ERIC SCHMITT and MARK MAZZETTI
WASHINGTON — President Bush secretly approved orders in July that for the first time allow American Special Operations forces to carry out ground assaults inside Pakistan without the prior approval of the Pakistani government, according to senior American officials.
The classified orders signal a watershed for the Bush administration after nearly seven years of trying to work with Pakistan to combat the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and after months of high-level stalemate about how to challenge the militants’ increasingly secure base in Pakistan’s tribal areas.

The New York Slimes... Always willing to help out the enemy, no matter what the cost. Scumbags.
It’s just the NY Times making things up and pretending that they have “anonymous” sources telling them such things.
They don’t.
I would get a congressional OK on this extension into Pakistan.
See if the democrats (who are SCREAMING that Iraq prevents incursions and fighting in Afganistan!) agree that we should be fighting in Pakistan to support Afganistan.
Can you imagine Obama ordering anything like this?
I think not.
I still don’t know how this is NOT treason. I think they know they can just throw up the 1st Amendment canard and get away with it forever.
duhr. of course. this isn’t a secret to anyone following the game.
Pakistan is going through regime change, Bush is ending his term - new rules.
I’m surprised they didn’t publish Ike’s Overlord plans in late May 1944...
The classified orders
What about this phrase allows the NYslime to publish this without impunity?
Actually he did claim he would send troops into Pakistan back in August. McCain & The Pakistanis called him irresponsible.
Traitors!!!!!!!
Good for Bush. Borders should never be allowed to protect a terrorist.
Can you imagine Obama ordering anything like this?
Sure, only it would probably be in some place like Idaho,
or maybe the Governors house in Alaska.
Does anyone really believe the US hasn't been operating in Pakistan since around 2002?
So Basically, some Democrat Senator on the Senate Intelligence committee leaked this sensitive information to the press
Eff ‘em. The only reason we weren’t doing this before was in deference to Musharrif. With the election of the new dingleberry, who cares. What are they gonna do? Complain that we’re killing terrorists?
“I still don’t know how this is NOT treason. I think they know they can just throw up the 1st Amendment canard and get away with it forever.”
It’s about time for the First Amendment to be amended.
