I did check the New York Times website before I retired, reader, and I was so disappointed in the articles I clicked on.
I'm so tired of their propaganda and lies, readers, I don't even put up the war reports they give anymore.
I'm not posting their bullshit propaganda on my blog anymore.
Not only did I already report on their news stories (because of the blogs), but their journalism is just SO BAD that this was the only article I found worthy of posting from them.
"Pakistan Fort Overrun by Militants" by ISMAIL KHAN
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Hundreds of Islamic militants attacked a paramilitary fort in Sararogha, in the restive South Waziristan tribal region in north-west Pakistan on Tuesday, killing 22 soldiers and taking several others hostage in a nearly six-hour battle, government intelligence agency officials and local officials said Wednesday.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the attack, said that 600 to 700 militants had attacked the Sararogha fort, firing rockets and mortars in a region where local and foreign militants have battled the Pakistani military.
Fifteen soldiers belonging to the South Waziristan Scouts, an official paramilitary militia, died in the battle, one intelligence official said.
Another local official said that the militants later beheaded at least seven other soldiers.
A spokesman for Tehreek-i-Taliban, an Islamic group that is sympathetic to the Taliban, said that it had carried out the attack and that it had killed 16 soldiers and captured 24, and that only two militants had been killed.
Militant groups operating in the tribal region formed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan the Taliban Movement of Pakistan last month, to coordinate their activities and wage a joint struggle against Pakistani forces.
A spokesman for the militant group, Maulvi Umar, was quoted by Dawn, an English-language newspaper here, as saying by telephone that the militants who attacked the fort were led by Baitullah Mehsud, whom the Pakistani government has accused of responsibility for the assassination last month of Benazir Bhutto, the opposition leader and former prime minister.
See how they REPEAT LIES, readers?
A last distress radio message was sent to another fort nearby, requesting artillery support as the militants blew up part of the Sararogha fort, broke through the defenses and poured inside, the officials said.
At the time of the attack, 38 soldiers and six civilians, including cooks, barbers and orderlies, were in the fort, which was built in the British colonial era, the officials said.
The remaining soldiers are presumed to have been taken hostage by the militants, although several were reported to have escaped.
In an official statement, Pakistan’s military said that seven soldiers had died in the attack, which it said had been carried out by 200 militants, and that 40 militants had been killed.
The security official said that seven soldiers who had escaped had said that six militants had been killed, and that four of them were said to be Uzbeks.
The militants abandoned the fort after seizing arms and ammunition, the intelligence officials said. “Nobody is there now.” an official said.
Witnesses reached by telephone said that the militants had captured several soldiers and slaughtered many of them.
“The forts were well stocked, and soldiers had been told to fight till the last man, last bullet,” a local administration official said. “The soldiers did put up a good fight in a seemingly hopeless situation.”
So Pakistan's army is in a "hopeless situation" up in them thar hills, is it?
Yeah, I'm tired of the New York Times lying to me, readers.
I won't be purchasing them tomorrow.
How 'bout you, reader?
