Pakistan Tribesmen Say NATO Forces Massing On Afghan Border
MIRANSHAH, Pakistan (AFP)--Tribal elders on Tuesday raised the alarm over a buildup of hundreds of NATO-led troops on the Afghanistan side of the border, but Pakistan's military downplayed fears of any intrusion.
The gathering of foreign forces came as Pakistan was under pressure from the U.S. to curb cross-border attacks by Taliban militants, with the U.S. military chief flying into Pakistan last weekend for urgent talks.
"We have heard there is a buildup of foreign troops," said Malik Mohammad Afzal Khan Darpakhel, a local tribal leader in North Waziristan who isn't affiliated with the Taliban.
"We want to warn them that 3 million tribesmen will rise against them if they try to move in," Darpakhel told a news conference held by five elders in Miranshah, the main town in the region.
Intelligence sources said some 300 NATO soldiers equipped with tanks, armored vehicles and heavy weaponry have been moved very close to Lwara Mundi, a border village in North Waziristan.

And these 3 million tribesmen haven't thrown the Taliban's @sses out of there all this time because?
“And these 3 million tribesmen haven’t thrown the Taliban’s @sses out of there all this time because? “
Because they’re all T,,,,,,? Naw! They can’t all be T,,,,,,,,?
Right. Going would be slow at first for the hundreds of NATO soldiers.
Don’t bet on NATO troops to engage the enemy. The Americans will carry the fight.
In that part of Afghanistan, NATO/ISAF troops means US troops.

Good, it will make easier to kill them if they come out of their caves and stand & fight. Unfortunately, these SOB's will hide behind women & children when they attack because they are a bunch of immoral, degenerate chicken-hawks.
Waziristan Delenda Est.
Then 3 million tribesmen will be slaughtered like mad dogs in a hard rain. >B-(
Enough is enough. The uncivilized beasts want death? We will give it to them like a flood. No crops will grow..No herds will be left untouched, the orchards will all be burned..no supplies will be allowed into the area. Evey vehicle will be by strafed...every village burned...Every road bombed, every pass every trail...will be littered with bomblets..every step will mean death. Until all is death.
Because they're the enemy too.
The nice thing is we don’t need to “occupy” Pakistan. We just need to raid, destroy, burn, kill and capture. Then our guys slip back across the border.
Time to let a little HeLLFiRe or two rip .. in the dark of the night or whenever. Godspeed to our young men and women about to whupp some WaziriTalibunny.
