PESHAWAR, Pakistan (CNN) -- Dozens of Taliban militants took control of a government office in Pakistan's tribal region near the Afghan border Saturday, raising concerns about an advance on the nearby city of Peshawar, a police chief said.

Pakistani police and government troops rolled into the sparsely populated town of Nasir Bagh in armored personnel carriers to assess the situation, police chief Riaz Khan said.

About 100 Taliban militants raided a development office in Nasir Bagh and attacked at least four workers there, Khan said.

Their status is unclear, although local reports said the men were kidnapped

Hey, we could go in and clear them out, but the Pakis said they’d fire on US “invaders.”

F### ‘em, let them fight the Taliban pukes themselves.

Once the Taliban takes over more of the country and starts whacking government official’s heads off, they’ll be begging US troops to cross the border ...

Uh.....
Does this mean that the Ramadamadingdong truce we heard of has been violated???

Forsooth — these damned Muslims lie more readily than they breath..

Cockroaches serve a purpose, but I’ll be damned if I can figure out ANYTHING of value brought to the world by these militant Muslims...

If the Pakis decide they wish to offer sanctuary to our enemy — we WILL come after our enemy, even if every Paki between us and our enemy must be killed...

The world can no longer allow the lying Muslims to pretend friendship and slaughter our friends without consequences.... Severe consequences..

If it is Jihad the Muslim lives for — then let him die enjoying the sort of Jihad we can deliver...

Well as a positive, if Obama is elected he will send our troops into Pakistan to off the mujis.
