"Amid quarrels, ruling coalition collapses in Pakistan; Disagree on new leader, fired judges" by Mubashir Zaidi and Laura King, Los Angeles Times | August 26, 2008
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - The coalition's downfall bodes ill for government efforts to confront an economy in near-meltdown and an Islamic insurgency that has grown in strength and audacity.
Oh, I get tired of the slnted Zio-bias against Muslims. People who are only defending themselves from invaders, since 9/11 an inside job by Mossad and CIA, etc, etc. Get tired of typing it, but we know, pukes!!!
While the coalition was falling apart, the government made at least a symbolic effort to contain some of the militants who have been carrying out larger and bolder attacks in recent weeks. Rehman Malik, the country's top civilian law-enforcement official, announced a ban on Pakistan's Taliban movement, Tehrik-e-Taliban, which is led by militant commander Baitullah Mahsud.
Hey, how do you ban a people?
Only one way I've ever heard of: HOLOCAUST!!!
The move, though, is likely to have little practical effect. It means the group cannot legally conduct fund-raising, but virtually all its money is thought to flow through illegal channels and various front groups.
That's "CIA-FRONT-GROUPS," MSM!
Malik, the Interior minister, declared that government forces would continue to attack militant sanctuaries in the Bajur tribal agency, near the Afghan border, where fighting has forced hundreds of thousands of civilians to flee.
Translation: Pakistan's civilian government and army will continue to murder their own people on our behalf -- all based on a damn lie!!!!

In another trouble spot, the Swat Valley in northwest Pakistan, insurgents killed at least eight people yesterday when they fired a rocket into a provincial lawmaker's home.
The new disarray within the government came just a week after President Pervez Musharraf stepped down under threat of impeachment. Without the common cause of driving him from power, the two main parties - the PPP and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-N - found little ground for unity.
And CUI BONO, huh? WHO steps into the VACUUM and CUI BONO?.
