“Female suicide bomber detonates outside IP checkpoint, marks 2nd time IPs thwart bombers”
Multi-National Division – North PAO
BALAD CITY, Iraq
I’ve been trying to figure out the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan - as there is a lot of clutter out there.
First you have some of the military leaderships saying we are losing - yet the Taliban/AQ have failed to do much again this year. Just recently, they tried another large scale attack and got their clocks cleaned.
Pakistan is attacking rogue tribes in the Waziristan and adjacent regions - and winning, but is unwilling to go for the jugular.
We have taken the initiative in Predator strikes in Pakistan border regions - with results.
Now this “agreement” - doesn’t make sense.
