....The sources assert that the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen during his recent visit had conveyed a message to Pakistan’s political and military leadership that it was high time that the Pakistani government acted against these militants. He also made it clear that if Pakistan government showed any reluctance the US itself would launch air strikes against the hideouts of these al-Qaeda militants.
According to these sources, Admiral Mullen warned that US could use daisy-cutters to crush these elements in what he called a ‘decisive operation,’ which could start any time.

Can someone explain briefly the relationship between AQ and the Taliban in Afghan? Is there any cross-over?

I thought the last ‘daisy cutter’ (BLU-82) was dropped last year and they were not going to make any more.
“On 15 July 2008, Airmen from the Duke Field 711th Special Operations Squadron, 919th Special Operations Wing dropped the last operational BLU-82 at the Utah Test and Training Range”

The only problem with this story is that the last operation BLU-82 bomb was dropped in 2008. We don’t have any more of them.

Did Mullen clear this with Central Command? Does the ROE permit such a response? Wouldn’t want him to go out on a limb on this...

I believe that is going to happen about as much as the story last week that the Israelis were going to strike Iran.

Why did we not do this before?Because we had a Republican president. The propaganda machine would not let a Republican do anything that would be effective. Now that we have the anointed one, they can do whatever they please.

Obama is just leaking this in order to warn his buds in the ‘moderate’ Taliban.
