Military officials in Pakistan say a siege by militants near the army's headquarters in Rawalpindi, near the capital, Islamabad, is over.
Commando forces raided a building where militants were holding hostages just before dawn Sunday. Four militants, two soldiers and three hostages were killed during the operation. Another wounded militant was captured.
The violence began just before midday Saturday when a group of heavily armed militants in army uniforms tried to enter the Pakistani military headquarters. As soon as they were stopped at a main check post, the attackers lobbed several grenades and opened fire with automatic weapons on the soldiers there. A firefight erupted, instantly killing six soldiers and five militants.
The rest of the attackers fled during the firefight and took hostage more than 30 people, mostly security personnel, in a nearby building.

The sentiment, however, is not pro-America in the slightest. Many think we're involved.
“not pro-America in the slightest. Many think we’re involved.”
Yeah, we were. We trained some of their POS army to be commandos.
...Bravo, soldiers do their job, prisoners are rescued, enemy is eliminated, or incapacitated...
...IMO, press releases should avoid the use of words, Commandos, Hostages, Militants...
Why omit those distinguishing terms?

Funny, I saw some brief commentary yesterday that ISI was involved.
“Militant Siege”
I was just thinking how “militant” is just a euphemism for terrorist.
They change their words, and they think they are changing public perceptions, but often it’s just a euphemism.
That’s why no one wants to be associated with “liberal”: it’s just a euphemism for LEFTIST.
They think they change the language, but they just create new euphemisms. Good.
Why were there only 4 militants killed?
Pretty much how to wage war.
I really agree and like the idea of the Pyramid of Skulls.
course, that would be unsupported in our congress.
( another good place for a pyramid...ha. Put the pyramid on the congressional floor as a visual reminder of WHY we need to back up our military.)
Yeah, after hmmmmmm...that’s too far, HA.
I guess my point is that we are so hypocritical about not clearly showing WHY we go to war, that there are really evil people in the world...it is now politically incorrect to use the media the way we did in WWII...to villify the evil.
interrogate then terminate

What's not to like?
That needs to be shouted from the highest rooftops over and over! Remember the crapola George W. Bush took when he dared refer to “the axis of evil” and then name three countries that fit the description. The Left went wild with their denunciations of using that kind of ‘hate speech’. to the Left any speech that expresses a truth they would rather not hear is hate speech. OTOH, they can say anything they want, true or not, and it's not hate speech if it expresses their beliefs.
Even Rod Serling couldn't have envisioned a world as upside down as today in America.
...The US is at war, our troops are fighting the enemy, to win. That's about all I can handle right now...
...Sorry you don't get my POV to keeping things simple in my world...
