What I get is this blather on the editorial page.
One thing I'm not fond of any more is politics. It's all bullshit.
Musharaff, Bhutto, Chaudry, they are all the same bullshit.
The wars don't end, the killing doesn't end, and I'm tired of it.
The people in those hills NEVER DID ANYTHING TO US, and I don't even care what they have done or allegedly done.
We have no right to kill them. None at all.
Seriously, reader, I want the killing to end.
Politics? Who gives a fuck?
Tired of of being LIED TO, and tired of RIGGED ELECTIONS!!!!
"Musharraf's choices... PAKISTAN'S PRESIDENT Pervez Musharraf faces daunting obstacles in his quest for another five-year term. Because the Bush administration has backed Musharraf as a pragmatic partner in a dangerous region, the United States has a stake in the choices Musharraf will make and may be tempted to weigh in on his side. But the United States would best serve its own and Pakistan's interests by supporting the rules of the democratic game, not any particular party or candidate.
Musharraf has hardly been an ideal ally. As a recent national intelligence estimate warned, Al Qaeda has been able to regroup within Pakistan. And as illustrated by recent protests against Musharraf's failed effort to suspend the chief justice of Pakistan's Supreme Court, Musharraf has alienated precisely those sectors of Pakistani society that ought to be most favorable to the values Washington preaches: rule of law, independent judiciary, and civil liberties.
Yet even Benazir Bhutto, the exiled former prime minister and leader of a key opposition party, justifies her recent efforts to negotiate a deal for political cooperation with Musharraf by acknowledging his moderation.
Bhutto told the Council on Foreign Relations Wednesday in New York:
"We have problems with General Musharraf because he's a coup leader, but on the other hand, General Musharraf says and has committed himself to Pakistan following a moderate path."
Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher, in Islamabad this week for talks with Musharraf, was properly discreet in saying that the general and Bhutto would "make their own choices based on their own calculations." Offstage, though, the administration has been urging Musharraf to make a deal with Bhutto; she would be allowed to return and lead her Pakistan People's Party in general elections later this year, and, presumably, she would then support his reelection.
Musharraf needs all the political help he can get. He has incurred hostility not only among lawyers and the secular parties but also from Islamist groups. And unless he institutes emergency rule -- as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice advised him not to do recently -- his bid for another presidential term will almost certainly depend on decisions of the Supreme Court and its reinstated chief justice, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
That court will be asked to decide whether Musharraf can run while still chief of the army; whether Pakistan's constitution bars him from seeking what may be considered a third term; and whether he can seek election by the current Parliament, as he wants, or must wait until the new Legislature is chosen this autumn. These are questions that should be resolved by an independent judiciary. America should clearly oppose any fresh attempt by Musharraf to circumvent the laws of his country or the workings of democracy (Boston Globe editorial August 18, 2007)."

Of course, my War Dailies (just promoters of wars; they don't report on them) hides these stories that the NY Times international arm, the International Herald Tribune, did decide to cover:
"Suicide car bombing wounds 5 soldiers in northwestern Pakistan" by the Associated Press August 17, 2007
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan: A suicide attacker rammed his explosive-laden vehicle into a military convoy in troubled northwestern Pakistan on Friday, wounding at least five soldiers in the blast, police said. Troops killed two foreign militants in fighting in another area in the northwest, an official said.
The soldiers were traveling through the town of Tank, 50 kilometers (30 miles) west of the city of Dera Ismail Khan in the South Waziristan region, when the attacker struck, said Idrees Khan, an area police chief. He said the injured soldiers had been transported to a hospital, and body parts of bomber were being collected.
At Mir Ali, in North Waziristan, militants opened fire on troops near a checkpoint, said a local security official.... Two foreign militants, including one who appeared to be an Uzbek, were killed and two others were captured, the official said.
The shootout and the bomb attack came a day after dozens of militants ambushed a military convoy in South Waziristan, triggering a shootout. Military spokesman Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad on Friday raised the death toll from that fighting, to 15 militants and seven soldiers killed.

"Pakistan army attacks militant hide-outs near Afghan border, no casualties" by the Associated Press August 18, 2007
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan: Pakistani troops backed by helicopter gunships attacked three suspected militant hide-outs near the Afghan border Saturday, just days after battles in the region killed at least 11 soldiers, officials said.
Troops engaged militants early Saturday in the troubled tribal region of South Waziristan in Pakistan's northwest, said an area official.... He said soldiers and helicopter gunships destroyed three militant hide-outs, but it was not immediately clear how many rebels were in the area and if there were any casualties.
Pakistani forces have been facing tough resistance in South Waziristan since Thursday when dozens of militants attacked military convoys, killing at least 11 soldiers, according to local security officials. The ensuing battles left 15 militants dead, the official said."
How about that for HIDING WARS and presenting a Zionist-laced BIAS of the world, huh?
