(CNN) -- Young and old, poor and prosperous, sick and healthy -- residents of Pakistan's Swat Valley continue to flee the violence that has erupted there as the military clashes with the Taliban.

{Cut}

Khan, who estimates his age at between 65 and 70, told CNN life around Mingora was so desperate, he cannot put it into words. Both he and the 50-year-old man said no food or water remain besides what has been stockpiled. There is no power, and all land lines and cell phones have jammed, and citizens have been confined to their homes by military curfews.

They have brought this upon themselves, the NWFP is the source of the world’s heroin and has no law whatsoever.

No sympathy for these cretins at all.

None whatsoever.

But Islam is a religion of peace.

I’m sure this is just due to American saber rattling. We should apologize and raise taxes.

Coming soon to an American town near you.

People need to calm the heck down... Obama is on top of this. Perhaps Obama will head over there, without preconditions, later in the week. He could combine this trip with another photo buzz over New York and save $350,000 to use in his plan to give us all our our shovels.

He must personally handle this himself, because he knows that whatever intelligence the CIA provides is nothing but lies. After all, Obama has tacitly agreed with Democratic leader, Pelosi— the very person that would look out for us as President if something were to happen to Obama and what’s-his-name.

So I sure feel secure with Obama’s ever watchful eyes on this potential overtaking of nuclear arsenals.
