Peshawar, Pakistan: Militants in northwestern Pakistan blew up at least 11 tankers carrying fuel for NATO troops in neighbouring Afghanistan Friday, and shot dead four people, police said.

The rebels struck at a terminal on the outskirts of the city of Peshawar, which runs into Pakistan's lawless tribal belt.

"More than two dozen militants entered the terminal and planted timed devices on 12 out of a total 18 fuel tankers parked at the terminal," senior police official Imtiaz Shah said.

And our skinny, illegal alien resident in our White House is going to do WHAT about it? . . . The same thing he did when four Americans were murdered by pirates . . . NOTHING!

First of all, the four Americans were NOT muslims. He, being a devout muslim, is going to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT ANY OF THIS STUFf.

Well, that’s an act of war. I wonder what NATO will do about it.

NATO will hold a meeting. But they’ll spend 2 years and 12 million dollars figuring out the shape of the table at which they will sit.

Ask the U.S. for more money to buy new tankers.

NATO is nothing more than America with their hands tied behind their backs. Fine for politicians. Deadly for troops.

What a damn joke.
