Update: 12,000 Pakistani troops are on their way to the tribal areas. Does Ayman have a date with destiny?
Great. Just Great! We were just getting to the point where we could MOAB the hell out of an independent Waziristan and the Pakistanis decide to send in 12,000 human shields to us and target fodder to the Taliban/Al Qaeda nexis.

If true it kind of fits with the following I posted on a different thread:

All the recent flurry of messages would indicate signaling an attack or as another poster mentioned it could be to see how we are responding.

Another (and probably much too hopeful) theory would be that with Mush cracking down on militants in Pakistan and the obvious breakdown of the “peace deal” he made with the tribal regions last year Mush is finally taking the gloves off and is preparing to go into the tribal regions full force. Thus pushing OBL (if he’s still alive) and his butt buddy Zawahiri into the waiting gun sights of US troops on the Afghan side of the border.

A squeeze play perhaps, and all these messages they are sending is their final push to stir up the militants before they die as they know the end game is near, a sort of final curtain call?

I understood that the last time the Americans relied on the locals to fight al-Qaeda’s leaders, at Tora Bora, al-Qaeda bribed the locals, who allowed them to escape.

While its never been proven that OBL, his butt-buddy Zawahiri, and the rest of their ilk had help from the Northern Alliance (our supposed ally) most do believe it was the Northern Alliance (in a backroom deal) that allowed them to escape Tora Bora into Pakistan. This occurred when the Northern Alliance convinced US forces to have a 2-day cease fire during the Tora Bora campaign because they (the Northern Alliance) had struck a surrender deal with AQ and Taliban, it was obviously a ruse to allow them to escape because they knew they were finished as our troops were kicking their ever-lovin A$$ES and were closing the noose!

This is why I never agree with working with any go-betweens, especially tribal Arabs, they notoriously not trustworthy, never have been and never will be, hell they’d send their own mothers to slaughter if it benefits them. As my dad (Army Air Corp 27 years) used to say, “don’t do me no favors!”

Instead we should go back to doing the work ourselves by flushing them out with sheer brute force, attack, attack, attack some more and never let up until they are dead or they unconditionally surrender! Want something done right, do it yourself as they say!

I take it another Jeep is coming. But that’s okay. John Smeaton will be back at work, sober again, with a fag in hand.

I just ran it through my Microsoft Enigma machine and it translates into:

“We are getting our asses kicked by the American military, but if, Allah willing, we can get our friends, the Dhimmicrats elected in ‘08, we will have won!”

LOL…sad but true!

I hadn’t been “saying” anything other than what I said, JiangxiDad. It was an observation of the apparent drawing upon the past and wasn’t intended to put the Pakistani action in either a “not on our side” or a “miserable failures” cubbyhole. Why do you ask?

Peace. Out.

Probably not.

It seems Americans of the Right will have to take over the financing and administration of the Republican Party, in order to open the way for men to assume office who are comfortable with death and destruction. Actually, though, it would be much more fun to watch, were patriotic, intelligent Americans to take counter-terror private. Private Americans have enormous wealth and amazing technologies in computation, electronics, biochemistry, and biology. As their “federal” government goes on picking its nose year after year, it becomes more and more difficult to defend the ingenious Yankees’ self-restraint. “Where is the Batman? He’s at home washing his tights.”

Great. Just Great! We were just getting to the point where we could MOAB the hell out of an independent Waziristan and the Pakistanis decide to send in 12,000 human shields to us and target fodder to the Taliban/Al Qaeda nexis.

Are you saying this is an attempt to protect Al-Quaeda, or ineptitude?

Go forth [whether equipped] lightly or heavily, and strive and struggle with your goods and your persons in the cause of Allah.

That certainly looks like a messsage to me.

Brian Ross should be strung up in the city square.

Actually, he’s just one on a long list. Funny thing is, if we win and ultimately beat the Islamists back, Brian Ross and his ilk will have lost and are irrelevant. If we lose, he’ll be strung-up. Either way, he loses.

Now that’s just mean. Tell Allah you are sorry and offer a hug. :-)

AP, I’m really sorry you don’t have an iPhone. If it were up to me, I’d send in the special forces to appropriate Zawahiri’s iPhone just for you.

I could not find it. I found where he said they formed an alliance with the Democratic National Committee for Stifling Debate and Hugging.

More panic-mongering from the Blotter?! Jeez, louise, these guys never rest. They must be trying to scare people.

I guess I should buy more canned food and shotgun shells ’cause ABC thinks doomsday is on its way.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly.
