Title: U.S. Crosses Pakistan Border to Raid Terror Camp
Post by: TheSarge on September 04, 2008, 07:58:39 AM

SLAMABAD, Pakistan —  A senior U.S. military official has acknowledged that American forces conducted a raid inside Pakistan, in the first known foreign ground assault in the country against a suspected Taliban haven.

The Pakistan government condemned an incursion that it said killed at least 15 people.

The American official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of cross border operations, told The Associated Press that the raid occurred on Pakistani soil about one mile from the Afghan border. The official didn't provide any other details.

Pakistan's Foreign Ministry protested saying U.S.-led troops flew in from Afghanistan for the attack on a village in the country's wild tribal belt. A Pakistan army spokesman warned that the apparent escalation from recent foreign missile strikes on militant targets along the Afghan border would further anger Pakistanis and undercut cooperation in the war against terrorist groups.

I hope they find out who the "anonymous" person was.

If he had been legally offering that information up, then he wouldn't have had to kept his name hidden.  This ****er should be in jail.

If the Pakis aren't going to reign the ****ers in, the havens are fair game.

"...the country's wild tribal belt."

No shit. Is there any other kind of belt in that area?

"All's fair in love and war." ....and this ain't no love in.

What do they(Muslims) call it, the Ummah, the greater Islamic nation,........ well it's all part of that with which we are at war with.

Turn the "Devil Dogs" loose and tell'em, "Don't come back until you're done."

I wonder what an Obama supporter is doing in Pakistan?
Oh silly me - spying for the Taliban, of course.
