ISLAMABAD – Pakistan's army pushed deeper into a Taliban sanctuary close to the Afghan border Tuesday, claiming to have killed 42 militants in the latest stage of an offensive against extremists blamed for relentless attacks in recent weeks .
In the capital, gunmen attacked a high-ranking Pakistani army officer in the second targeted shooting against top military brass in less than a week, part of a wave of violence sweeping the country in apparent retaliation for the 11-day long offensive in South Waziristan.
The army officer, and his mother who was traveling with him, escaped unhurt from the assault in Islamabad.

If it wasn’t already manifestly clear that muslims are neolithic savages who enjoy murdering both infidels as well as their own kind, ...it should be by now. Their very religion dictates 11th century butchery and mayhem. We can continue to risk the ‘valuable’ lives of American soldiers and continue to fight them indefinitely into and beyond the 22nd century (although I ‘m quite sure Obozo will destroy us long before that date) or we can withdraw and wait for their next massive attack on our shores at which time we could attempt to end the muslim menace once and for all. I hate seeing the lives of American soldiers ‘frittered’ away by this asshole we have in office. Is there no way out of this? Attacked by a mulatto muslim from inside, attacked by muslim morons from without. Anyway you look at it we lose!
“offensive”
I can’t help but notice that this is a negative word.
Think AP referred to Russia’s attacks on Georgia as “offensive”, or “campaign”?
More likely just completely underreported.
