"Pakistan to investigate possible links to attacks; President vows 'swiftest of action'" by Mubashir Zaidi and Laura King, Los Angeles Times | November 30, 2008
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - .... Already on the defensive over the Mumbai attacks, Pakistan's government also has been put in an awkward position by a continuing campaign of missile strikes in its tribal areas along the Afghan border, presumably carried out by US forces. Another such strike yesterday killed two people and destroyed a house in the North Waziristan region.
"Presumably?" Well, WHO ELSE COULD IT BE?
WTF?!!! That's "journalism?"
The Pakistani government denies having given a tacit go-ahead for such strikes aimed at militant leaders, but it is suspected of having given the United States quiet approval for the raids by pilotless drones targeting Taliban and Al Qaeda leaders....
"Pakistani officials have made clear that they regard the Predator attacks as a less objectionable violation of Pakistani sovereignty"
Yup, give the go-ahead on the murder of your own people, then pretend it outrages!
Hassan Abbas, a Pakistan scholar who is now a research fellow at Harvard University, told the AP that the army was probably riled by Indian and American media reports suggesting that New Delhi was considering a military response, including air strikes on suspected militant training camps in the portion of Kashmir controlled by Pakistan.
--more--"
And HELLO, WWIII!!!!!!!
