The Marine Corps Times is not published by the Marines. It and the other service “Times” monthlies are published by Gannett. The same people who publish USA Today and a rather extensive list of MSM publications.

Don’t believe the MCTimes any more than you would believe USA Today. It’s the same people.

The US has stepped up its attacks against al Qaeda and the Taliban’s networks inside Pakistan over the past year. There have been 14 confirmed cross-border attacks by the US in Pakistan this year [see list below]. Six safe houses have been hit in North Waziristan, six have been hit in South Waziristan, and two have been targeted in Bajaur this year. Only 10 such cross-border strikes were recorded in 2006 and 2007 combined.”

Looks like O’Bumpkin can stop complaining that Bush is “neglecting” the Asian front.

You know who helped get rid of him, don’t you?

And those are the LAST people I want monitoring an election!

I think you’re right, RB – I’m fairly certain “brad” (as if that’s his real name) is an infil-traitor. I’ve got my eye on cigarskunk, too. Troll-alert, threat level: YELLOW.

Maybe SG needs to start screening the newbies with a loyalty oath: “I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the DailyKos!”

US officer: Pakistani forces aided Taliban

Pakistani military forces flew repeated helicopter missions into Afghanistan to resupply the Taliban during a fierce battle in June 2007, according to a Marine lieutenant colonel, who says his information is based on multiple U.S. and Afghan intelligence reports.

The revelation by Lt. Col. Chris Nash, who commanded an embedded training team in eastern Afghanistan from June 2007 to March 2008, adds a new twist to the controversy over a U.S. special operations raid into Pakistan Sept. 3.

Pakistani officials strongly protested that raid, with a statement issued by the foreign ministry calling it a “gross violation of Pakistan’s territory.”

But fewer than 15 months earlier, Pakistani forces were flying cross-border missions in the other direction to resupply a “base camp” in Nangarhar Province occupied by fighters from the Taliban, al-Qaida and the Hezb-i-Islami faction led by Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, Nash told Army Times in a Sept. 17 telephone interview…….

……….“What [the Pakistanis] bring to the fight is not only tactical expertise, but [because of] how they’re arrayed along the border, they can easily provide support by fire positions that our enemies are able to maneuver under,” Nash said. “We were on the receiving end of Pakistani military D-30.”

The D-30 is a towed 122mm howitzer.

“On numerous occasions, Afghan border police checkpoints and observation posts were attacked by Pakistani military forces,” usually those belonging to the Frontier Corps, a locally recruited force in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas that abut the border with Afghanistan, he said.

In addition, he said, his Marines had definitely seen combat with Pakistani forces

After all, it is the GWOT, GLOBAL war on terror. There is no “front.” There ara only enemies and allies.

Hey, That’s My Job! Go find your own damn site!!!

Fact is, after 8 yrs of BJ Clinton demasculing our ability to project ourselves around the globe, Mr. Mushariff heard VP Cheney’s promise to bomb Pakistan back to the stone age loud and clear.

As the vid from Gladiator, “When will people know they’re conquered.”

It will happen again…after we are lulled by liberal wooing about focusing on other more important things, like, global warming, affordable house-care, etc.

Remember, the difference between liberals and conservatives is liberals get us into war. Conservatives win them.

Don’t sell the country short. We need to be prudent when it comes to opening up yet another front in the GWOT.

America will be nice to nations like Pakistan…for a little while. Until, that is, we are hit again.

Unleash Hell indeed.
