A very recent US drone attack has killed at least six militants in a remote Pakistani tribal town near the Afghan border as local people celebrated the Muslim festival of Eid al-Fitr, security officials said. Drone attacks are very unpopular in Pakistan but they are neccesary for the US because they are so effective. The Pakistanis [...]
NATO forces have recently killed a local commander for the Haqqani insurgent group in an airstrike in eastern Afghanistan. Sher Mohammad Hakimi was hit on Sunday in Logar province, the coalition said. Hakimi was sitting under a tree with some associates when the NATO strike killed him. Four others were injured. Hakimi was known for organizing roadside [...]
U.S. military and intelligence officials are so frustrated with Pakistan’s failure to stop local militant groups from attacking Americans in neighboring Afghanistan that they have considered launching secret joint U.S.-Afghan commando raids into Pakistan to hunt them down. But the idea, which U.S. officials say comes up every couple of months, has been consistently rejected [...]
Leon Panetta seems to be getting fed up with the Pakistanis and their antics when it comes to getting their assistance in fighting terrorists that cross back and forth over the border with Afghanistan to do their dirty work. He’s certainly a better man than I am because I have been saying for quite a while [...]
I was beginning to wonder about President Karzai because of some of the statements that I had heard him make. He seemed slow to believe that the Pakistanis were assisting the Taliban in many cases with their efforts to fight the US and NATO. It’s not hard to see that they have a vested [...]
I am not surprised that the Pakistanis are again refusing to take any action against the Haqqani terror network which operates so freely out of that country. The Pakistani government and the Haqqanis have a long history of cooperating with each other and I guess that blood is thicker than water. I say this [...]
Admira Mike Muellen has pubicly accused the ISI (Pakistani Intelligence) of assisting terrorists in their attack on the US Embassy in Afghanistan last week. He also says that they helped them to attack a US base in Afghanistan which resulted in 77 US troops being slightly wounded. These are serious accusations. As a matter [...]
I’m glad that somebody finally had the cahunas enough to call a spade a spade and tell it like it is. Admiral Mike Muellen has finally verbalized what we have all known for quite a while. It has been politically correct up until now to not say anything but the actions of the Pakistanis is [...]
The Pakastani government is never at a shortage of surprising antics. We have always had a problem with them supporting us in the war that we are fighting in the region and they have just refused to do anything about the large terror sanctuary that the entire world knows operates along the area bordering the [...]
I believe in the back of my military mind that we are at a critical point in the war in Afghanistan. As a matter of fact we are at the most critical place possible. I am a tactician of sorts and I believe that I am right. There has been heavy fighting in the Kandahar [...]
