"
Suspected militants in Pakistan have attacked... "Suspected"? "Have attacked". This is the BBC. Don't they speak English?
A brief English (mathematics) lesson.
"Suspected militants" + "Have Attacked" = CONFIRMED militants!
Idiots.....mutter, mutter, mutter...
(one small exception. they might be absolutely incompetent pacificists)

Militants are loud, prickly, and opinionated.
This is way beyond that.

Thanks BlackVeil. Not too sure we should rush to judgment -- the attacks were probably NOT Moslem militants outraged by Western imperialism, but rather the CIA and Mossad. /sarc

If we see militants robbing banks and blowing up trucks in the US of A then we should be able to knock out the pakis "Phahkistani's" with aplomb, get out the old 50 and kill before being killed. i wonder how the heck our on the ground folks are being resupplied; some of that gear is very, very necessary.
