You wouldn't notice it if you didn't read them every day like me, but there is no reporting of the on-the-ground operations of war in Afghanistan or Iraq today.
However, there are reports of Pakistan and it's flailing effort to "pacify" the 'insurgents."
After reading the blogs for weeks and them commenting on how the MSM will begin turning Pakistan from an "ally" to an "enemy," well, the BLOGS were RIGHT AGAIN!!!!
"Clashes between militants, troops escalate in Pakistan; Taliban threaten to end support for peace deals" by Candace Rondeaux, Washington Post | July 31, 2008
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Violent clashes between extremist insurgents and Pakistani troops escalated yesterday in the country's fractious northwest, as Taliban leaders threatened to withdraw their support for peace deals brokered earlier this year with Pakistan's new government.
Accounts of casualties from the skirmishes in Pakistan's Swat Valley, near the Afghan border, varied widely, and could not be independently verified. A local military spokesman said five Pakistani soldiers and at least 38 militants were killed, but a spokesman for the pro-Taliban group disputed that tally, saying that only three of its fighters had been slain.
It was the third consecutive day of violence between pro-Taliban extremists and government troops in the formerly serene Swat Valley. After skirmishes erupted near the town of Matta, Pakistani security forces began enforcing a 24-hour curfew on the area, a military spokesman said.
At least 70 insurgents from the group - known as Tehreek Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi, or the Movement for Enforcement of Islamic Law - attacked a security post near the Ucharai Sar area of Matta district Wednesday morning, according to a statement issued by the Pakistani military.
Troops backed by helicopter gunships repelled the attack, which occurred about 12 miles from the once-popular resort town of Mingora. The bodies of about 20 insurgents were left behind after the skirmish ended, the military spokesman said.
Nearby, about 50 to 60 insurgents tried to overtake the Matta market, threatening to close shops and harm residents, according to Pakistani military officials. The pro-Taliban fighters retreated after military reinforcements arrived at the police station.
Muslim Khan, a top spokesman for insurgent leader Maulana Fazlullah, said the group's fighters killed several Pakistani soldiers in the latest clashes, but declined to give specific numbers. On Monday, three Pakistani intelligence officers were killed after insurgents ambushed their jeep, according to Pakistani army officials. On Tuesday, some 30 Pakistani troops were taken hostage by insurgents; the hostages had not been released as of late yesterday.
Maybe they changed sides? Would the MSM tell us if they did?
Taliban influence in Pakistan has widened considerably since the country held its parliamentary elections Feb. 18. Dozens of shops in Pakistan's tribal areas and North-West Frontier Province have been shuttered or destroyed, and several girls' schools have been closed amid threats from various extremist elements.
Oh, here we go!
Every time the Zionist media wants to demonize someone, they trot out the women's abuse issue!!!
Meanwhile, Iraq has turned into a hell hole for women since Bush's invasion!!
In another sign of the increasing boldness of pro-Taliban forces, extremists have also recently executed several people accused of spying on behalf of the United States in the country's remote tribal areas.
Oh, WE NEVER DO THAT!!!
We don't have SPIES!!!!
It is at this point that I'm tired of the bullshit, readers!
Just SICK and TIRED of the anti-Muslim, Zionist bullshit of AmeriKa's MSM!!!
Maybe the U.S. should take a tip from the Taliban and EXECUTE some SPIES OURSELVES!!!!
Yesterday, residents in the village of Degan in the tribal area of North Waziristan said extremists executed an Afghan woman for allegedly assisting US-led NATO forces across the border in Afghanistan.
There they go again, readers!!
Softening you up to sell you ANOTHER "LIBERATING" invasion!!!!
Please, please read: Memory Hole: Must Read For Women
And how come they can confirm this, but they can't confirm the civilians we kill?
Yeah, that's what I thought!
Noor Zada, a Degan resident, said he saw the body of Gulzada Bibi after it was discovered in a sewer in the village, which is about 22 miles west of the area's main town of Miranshah. A note pinned to her body said the woman, who was in her 30s, had used a satellite phone given to her by US forces to communicate information, Zada said."
