PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Militants blasted their way into two transport terminals in Pakistan on Sunday and torched more than 160 vehicles destined for U.S.-led troops in Afghanistan, in the biggest assault yet on a vital military supply line, officials said.

Time to get medieval on these TERRORISTS...militants my cheezeborger!!!

[Rapscallion]

Of course these military supplies were being guarded, right?

[trebb]

Uh-oh, the Obaminator already said he would attack Pakistan to make them friendlier - I guess they’re toast once he gets in.

Time to send the pakkys the bill or a the very least deduct the loss (plus a stuff fine for being stupid again) from monies we are now giving them from their next draw. They may on understand what side they are on too well but they all understand losing money. It’s the third world way.

One guard shot dead.

[SolidWood]

Seems like they were guarded lightly by locals.

[rodguy911]

Yeah I am sure they are shaking in their thousand dollar loafers we supply them....

[rodguy911]

Make them pay in dollars and the next shipment will be guarded much better,guaranteed.Bucks are all the third worlders understand,no confusion there.

Obama is being tested again. They aren’t waiting for Jan. 20.

They are always 'guarded' but the guards have no loaded weapons. The thought process is that they don't want some Private 1st Class soldier causing an international incident.

When my son was stationed in Germany just prior to the first Gulf War, he told us how they were never allowed to have loaded guns on guard duty.

..militants my cheezeborger!!!

Let me say it again, M I L I T A N T S ? Not a chance!!! We are talking Muslims here. Committing a raid on American Assets in a Muslim country. Could the Embassy be next? After the recent incursion into India, I would be a little more concerned about the safety of anything western, Amercian, US, human or otherwise.

What we need is a good old fashioned hanging, we start with who was in charge of the assets in Pakistan, and continue from there.

Militants...

Militants this, Militants that...

Ok AP, WHO / WHAT are these "Militants?"

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Well, if true, then somebody’s head in DOD is going to roll.

Who "decided" to go out for dinner at precisely the time the militants were due to appear, no doubt.

Presbyterians, no?

[pissant]

Yeah, I bet they had a hard time “blasting in” as the Pak troops slunk away and watched.

[Snickersnee]

It’s no good that the MSR for Afghanistan has to go through Pakistan — but after looking at the map, I can’t see an alternative. Any FReepers come up with a better way?

[rodguy911]

Some call them Muslims, some militants. I call them f..ing terrorists!
