Wake up army and bomb the taliban already! Don’t worry about the likes of Qazi, Fazlu, Imi, Sharif, Zardari etc. They and their naive supporters do not understand that we are at war against a ruthless enemy that cannot be negotiated with. And wake up Mush and stop listening o your flawed advisers. Launch an operation like Swat in Wazrisitan, but this time send in the infantry LAST like Swat.
In an interesting coincidence Orakzai just resigned right now. He was the biggest proponent of the “peace deal” with talibas and was considered a talib sympathizer. Ghani, former Balochistan governor, has taken over, who is known for his harder stance.
Pakistani militants kill 8 tribal elders
By SADAQAT JAN, Associated Press Writer 6 minutes ago
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Suspected Islamic militants killed eight tribal leaders involved in efforts to broker a cease-fire between security forces and insurgents in northwestern Pakistan, a security official said Monday.

The men were shot in separate attacks late Sunday and early Monday in South Waziristan, a mountainous region close to Afghanistan where al-Qaida and Taliban militants are known to operate, the official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to make comments to the media.
The Pakistan-Afghanistan border area has long been considered a likely hiding place for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and his top deputy Ayman al-Zawahri. The United States has pressured the government of President Pervez Musharraf to crack down on militants operating in the area.
On Sunday, Pakistan reiterated that it will not let American forces hunt al-Qaida and Taliban militants on its soil, after a report in The New York Times said that the Bush administration was considering expanding U.S. military and intelligence operations into Pakistan’s tribal regions.
