I'm sensing a losing campaign then!
"Bhutto warns of intervention if Pakistan fails to curb militancy" by Riaz Khan/Associated Press December 3, 2007
PESHAWAR, Pakistan - Former prime minister Benazir Bhutto said yesterday she would use economic as well as military means to defuse Pakistan's pro-Taliban insurgency, warning "foreign forces" could invade unless the government curbs spreading militancy.
Well, yeah, we are planning on it!

Bhutto also raised the specter of militants moving on Islamabad and gaining control of a key nuclear installation - widely seen as an unlikely scenario. While playing on fears of a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty, her remarks also reflected her willingness to sustain Pakistan's unpopular military operations against Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters in its lawless tribal regions.
Yeah, "Talat Masood, a former general and political analyst "criticized Mr. Musharraf for suggesting that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons would not be safe if he were not in power, which he said was simply untrue.... One Pentagon official said last week that the defence department had indeed been war-gaming some of Kagan's scenarios."
And do they mean THIS "Al-CIA-Duh?"

The jihadists have regrouped and expanded, posing a growing threat to Pakistan's own security. "If Pakistan has no control in the tribal areas then tomorrow foreign forces can come there," Bhutto said in Peshawar, a stronghold of religious parties. It was an apparent reference to US and NATO forces operating on the Afghan side of the border.
Well, she said she would let them in!!!
With all the trouble they are having next door, the FOREIGN FORCES may not LIKE WHAT THEY FIND!!!!
Bhutto also said economic development was crucial to defusing the pro-Taliban insurgency in the impoverished north, where Pakistani soldiers have clashed with insurgents in areas that now include the Swat valley, a former tourist attraction 100 miles from the capital, Islamabad. Security forces have killed some 220 fighters in Swat over at least the past 10 days, army spokesman Major General Waheed Arshad said. The army also reported arresting 26 suspected militants yesterday.
WOW!!!!
A WAR UPDATE right in the middle of the USUAL BULLSHIT!!!!
Is the Zionist-controlled MSM ever keeping the Pakistan Army's mass-murder and repression quiet, aren't they?
Usually just article after article on bullshit politics!
"We will use the military in the tribal areas, but we disagree that a military operation is the only solution to the problem," Bhutto said. "The people of tribal areas are our own people. We want to bring them into the modern age by giving them progress and prosperity."
First of all, STOP KILLING THEM, then!!!!
Then, LEAVE THEM ALONE like they want!!!!
"Borderland: The Wild, Wild West
Rugged, mountainous, this is the land of the Pashtun, where the government’s writ does not run.
Fierce mountain tribesmen, the Pashtun straddle the Durand Line, the border the British drew in 1893 between Pakistan and Afghanistan. In practice, the line is nonexistent — impossible to seal and riddled with smugglers’ trails.
The Pashtun live by a strict code called Pushtunwali which requires them to protect their guests (like Osama bin Laden) and fight foreign invaders.
The North-West Frontier Province and two of the seven Federally Administered Tribal Areas known as North Waziristan and South Waziristan have become havens for a regrouping Al Qaeda and other foreign fighters, including Uzbeks. There has been heavy fighting recently, but much of the territory is lost to the government. Tribesmen captured some 250 Pakistani soldiers and are still holding them.
WHAT THEY SEEK
To be left alone."
Who doesn't?
Back to Bhutto's bullshit:
The government, promised $750 million in US aid, says it has that same strategy, and claims to be already promoting road-building and development projects in the tribal regions, regarded as the likely hiding place of key Al Qaeda leaders such as Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Did you get all those bovine plop-plops, readers?
But its inconsistent tactics, which in the past two years have swung from heavy-handed military action to failed efforts to make peace with pro-Taliban forces, have only served to alienate local tribesmen.
I suggest that we STOP KILLING THEM and TALK to THEM!
NO MORE AIR BOMBINGS, period!!!!
Bhutto, a Musharraf rival who shares his liberal and pro-Western outlook, has drawn flak in Pakistan for comments made before her return from exile, when she said she would cooperate with the American military in targeting bin Laden if Pakistan could not do the job alone.
That kind of talk has put her - like Musharraf - in the cross-hairs of Islamic militants. Suicide bombers struck at her October homecoming parade in Karachi, killing more than 140 people."
Except that false-flag black-operation benefited Musharaff!
Pro-Taliban "terrorists" or CIA/ISI patsy assets, readers?!
