Pro-Taliban Pakistanis also continued their control of a stretch of the key Karakoram Highway for the fourth consecutive day, severing northern Pakistan's links with China. The Pakistani interior ministry said troops were being sent to oust the rebels and open the road.
How much of a threat is this bunch to China's security? China has had plenty of problems with Muslim radicals.

Pakistan, while publicly discouraging its own religious militants, appears helpless, or unwilling, to staunch the swelling tide of recruits from the Pathan frontier regions where an estimated three million ethnic Pathans live on the Pakistani side of the border.
Seems to me the best thing in the world for Pakistan is to let them go. Keep them at home and they will agitate there. Let them go and they can cause problems in another country, and quite likely die there. Solving Pakistan’s militant problem, 72 virgins at a time.

One of its posters credits villagers from Bajaur with having "raised 40 kilos of gold, 66 kilos of silver, 2,583 wrist watches, 110 rifles, 25 pistols, innumerable bullets, 75 horses, 1,200 chickens and five trucks of blankets and pillows".

Well, you know… if bullets don't do the job, they can always go after our soldiers with chickens and pillows.

Chickens and pillows are not a problem for me.

Now, clowns and spiders.....!

Different story.

Pakistani clowns?

Oh! ...... The horror.

Bravo, I say let as many into the killing zone a possible. The Paks will thank us, the Iranians will thank us, the Tajics will thanks us, etc. These folk have to go. The more the better, especially with winter coming on.
