Can anyone belive this sentence
Secretary Rice said she had not yet heard from Mr Cheney what he discussed with President Musharraf in Islamabad.
believe not belive...
ISLAMABAD, Feb 28: Foreign Secretary Riaz Mohammad Khan on Wednesday disclosed that the Foreign Office had ‘called’ the US envoy over reports of US Vice-President Dick Cheney’s remarks to a group of journalists at the US embassy here.
Mr Cheney reportedly informed the journalists about the ‘tough message’ said to have been conveyed to President Pervez Musharraf and the leadership of the ruling PML and the MMA over the regrouping of Taliban and Al Qaeda.
Mr Khan was talking to a group of journalists after attending a meeting of the Public Accounts Committee of the National Assembly at the Parliament House here.
Acting with extreme care, he avoided using the word ‘summoned’. He initially refused to answer the question pertaining to Mr Cheney’s reported remarks, but on insistence from the journalists, he said: “In normal circumstances, we also call our friends, and yes we have called the US envoy.”
The foreign secretary also dispelled the impression that the US would block financial aid for Pakistan in case a strong action was not taken to prevent the Taliban and Al Qaeda from regrouping.
He said the meeting with the US envoy was a normal one as the Foreign Office routinely invited guests.
He said he had now invited the ambassadors of the OIC member-countries on Pakistan’s Middle East initiative.
“Pakistan will not allow any country to interfere in its internal affairs,” Mr Khan said in reply to a question.
That crazy Condi, acting on her own, without accountability-- she's a loose cannon. Seriously, do you really believe that? I can't stop laughing when I hear some of the criticism of Condi. She's Bush's agent. Blame him if you don't like what she does.
This guy has to be an idiot. What kind of answer did he expect:
"Well, yes Senator, we do plan direct action against terrorist facilities in Afghanistan. In fact we are launching a major attack on March 17 when the terrorists will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day."
Let those dopes think they're safe...for now.
Iraq says police kill dozens of al Qaeda in Anbar
And it has an interesting statement....
Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Karim Khalaf said foreign Arabs and Afghanis were among some 80 militants killed and 50 captured in the clashes in Amiriyat al Falluja, a village where local tribes had opposed al Qaeda.
Pakistan is probably the scariest nation on the planet next to N. Korea.
It is Islamic. It has nukes. And it's full of islamofascists. Losing Musharraf would be a tragedy of the first order.
Al-qaeda in Iraq is going to have to be dealt with by US Special Ops. I hope we've had a ton of them in school learning all those Pakistani dialects.

Coming through Iran...getting safe passage, and then into Iraq. Seems we just can't control any border anywhere!
Does this mean boots on the ground?
Is a cruise missle an indirect military strike?
No direct strikes, meaning the stuff you don't hear about on the news, anywhere.
The 'black' strikes will continue on, I'm sure.
The foreign secretary also dispelled the impression that the US would block financial aid for Pakistan in case a strong action was not taken to prevent the Taliban and Al Qaeda from regrouping. Who's more scarier...Pakistan or our State Department saying the above....
Tinfoil stuff here...but, this whole Afganistan operation sounds like a ponzi scheme.
