Tribesman to defend Pak Border

So when these Taliban Nazis were blowing apart Pakistani troops and butcheirng Pakistani civilians in their terrorist suicide bombing attacks, these tribal idiots were no where to be found to defend Pakistani troops but instead they were harboring foreign terrorists.

Now that America has accicdently killed 11 Pakistani soldiers, they are all up in arms.

These people are definition of hypocracy

GHALANAI, Pakistan (Reuters) - Fiercely independent tribesmen, angered by a U.S. air strike that killed 11 Pakistani soldiers this week, vowed to raise a militia to help Pakistan’s army defend the border with Afghanistan.
Pakistan, a staunch ally in the U.S.-led war on terrorism, denounced Tuesday’s attack on a border post in the Mohmand tribal region as “unprovoked and cowardly” and said it could undermine the cooperation in the battle against al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Elders from ethnic Pashtun tribes in Mohmand, one of seven semi-autonomous tribal regions, issued a statement late on Thursday condemning the attack as “naked aggression” and said they were ready to raise a “lashkar,” or army.
“It’s the duty of the government to protect and defend the frontiers and we are ready to raise a lashkar to help our army in their cause,” the elders said.
“We are ready to fight for our homeland as we fought in Kashmir in 1948,” they said, referring to the first war between Pakistan and India, a year after their partition.
Chanting slogans of “Down with America” and “Down with Bush,” about 250 activists of an Islamic group paraded on the roads of Ghalanai, Mohmand’s main town, to protest against the attack.
“We should wage jihad (Muslim holy war) to teach a lesson to America for this aggression,” imam of the main mosque of Ghalanai, Abdul Khaliq, told the crowd.
The soldiers killed were manning a border post about 35 km (22 miles) northwest of Ghalanai.
U.S.-led ground forces from across the border in the eastern Afghan province of Kunar called for air support after coming under small-arms and rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) fire from militants occupying a ridge 200 meters (yards) inside Pakistan.

A video released by U.S. authorities showed footage of the encounter shot by a reconnaissance drone aircraft, complete with a voice-over describing the incident.
The video was posted on the internet site http://www.dvidshub.net/media/video/0806/DOD_100020431.wmv.
The blurred, grainy images showed between five and seven figures scurrying among the rocks along the ridge, and flashes of gunfire and from RPGs, according to the American commentary.
In the final sequences, four precision bombs were shown exploding, but the commentator asserted that no military structure or posts were in the impact areas.
The U.S. military said the operation was coordinated with Pakistan and the Pentagon defended U.S. forces, saying initial indications pointed to a “legitimate strike” carried out in self-defense after they came under attack.
Pakistan contested the U.S. version and issued a protest.
On a visit to France, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said such “tragic incidents” only helped the militant cause and he called on the United States to cooperate much more with the Pakistani military.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Thursday said he regretted the death of Pakistani soldiers and praised Pakistan as an “incredibly important partner.” He also invited Pakistani and Afghan officials to help investigate.
Pilotless drones have carried out several strikes targeting al Qaeda militants inside Pakistan’s tribal areas.
The number of casualties suffered by Pakistani forces in Tuesday’s attack was the worst they have suffered as a result of U.S. action in nearly eight years since the alliance was formed.
A new Pakistani government, led by the party of assassinated former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, has been negotiating with ethnic Pashtun tribes to get them to press the militants to give up a campaign of violence in Pakistan in which hundreds of people have been killed over the past year.
Gates told a news conference in Brussels on Friday the United States had been skeptical about such deals in the past but it was up to Pakistan to decide how to handle the situation.
“They are … seeing if there’s a way to negotiate arrangements with some of the tribes and I think we just have to give them some space to be able to pursue this,” he said.

  1. you are generalizing about the tribal people.
  2. as Pakistanis we are all brother. These comments put a smil eon my face.

Re: Tribesman to defend Pak Border

^^ so where was the brotherly love when they were routinely killing our troops and murdering our people?

There are various factions of tribal folks too.
Some are pro Pakistan, some are pro taliban, some are pro afghan , some hate everybody.
I guess this is the faction who is pro Pakistan. As to the question where was the brotherly love when our Fouji Jawans were being butchered by anti Pakistan faction. I have no answer to that question.

Re: Tribesman to defend Pak Border

under mush era pak troops were up to no good.

Re: Tribesman to defend Pak Border

taliban are deeply passionate about pakistan, why do you think throughout and afterall that has happend the pakistani people never wanted to fight them

so from this board, from the people of pakistan and from muslim countries the outgoing message should be one of reconcilliation between taliban and western forces.

actually theres a choice to be made, they can come out defeated or they can come out with an agreement.

If these people care for Pakistan than why they were (and still are) giving refuge to those who were violating Pakistan, Pakistani sovereignty, writ of Pakistan government, and sanctity of Pakistani border to fight their war in that pathetic country (Afghanistan). When Pakistan was telling these rascals that their action is creating lot of Problems for Pakistan, still these retards were doing the same.

Don't they know that giving refuge to illegal foreigners in any country is criminal offence and if those foreigners are considered as risk for the country than those who give refuge are traitors?

Re: Tribesman to defend Pak Border

saleem, foreigners are not the problem. the main strategic headache at the 'moment' is the refusal of both taliban and foreign forces to look for a peaceful answer. western forces seem to be willing to take on all pashtun sources of pride and strength. the taliban will fight anyone who helps the western forces.

pakistan by focusing on the elimination of foreigners from its areas have been trying to address the alkayda concerns of western countries, thus paving the way for peace with the taliban

Good post!

Re: Tribesman to defend Pak Border

When Taliban killed hundreds of pakistani soldiers, the reply of the pakistani govnt was to keep signing peace deals with them, so now NATO/US knows that if you kill enough pakistani soldiers, eventually the govnt will sign a peace deal.

Re: Tribesman to defend Pak Border

Aerial attacks not easy to ward off unless PAF comes into action...NATO forces dropping bombs at altitude of 10 km...

PAF will be destroyed in 1 week max if it goes against the US.
