Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
It remains to be seen whether or not Musharaff is dead serious about dealing with the irhabi takfirs in his country. My first reaction was “What no ransom demands?”
What prompted this action? Declaration of martial law? While an impressive move in the eyes of many who want the terrorists taken out…it is a meaningless gesture unless Musharaff actually attacks the militants with overwhelming force and sends them all to Allah. Time will tell on that score.
November 4th, 2007 at 8:45 amThe status quo wasn’t acceptable before martial law was initiated. At least this is a good result already.
While the U.S. government evaluates the intentions of Musharraf, evidently the Taliban didn’t need as long to figure out the intentions of Musharraf if they continued holding the Pakistani soldiers.
November 4th, 2007 at 10:11 amThe proof will be in Musharaff’s actions. I look to see a major mobilization of Pakistani military resources into the border regions accompanied by some serious fighting to rid the inhabitants of their AQ and Taliban infestation.
Tough medicine but necessary. Musharaff knows that w/Iraq winding down it is only a matter of time before we will turn our attention to the rats nest in Pakistan.
Who knows, we may see Osama’s head on a stick one evening on the news in the coming year.
November 4th, 2007 at 11:16 am“freed” could mean released or rescued. Which was it?
November 4th, 2007 at 11:39 amIt’s a political ploy to try and diminish resolve within the Pakistani gov’t.
November 4th, 2007 at 1:46 pm“We’re not such bad guys.”
“Look, we released 211 captured soldiers, and only decapitated a few of them.”
“We’re not blood-thirsty like history, er, um, I mean, the western media portray us to be.”
Yeah the soldiers were released…The Taliban does not give up their personal identity but guess were their relatives are…1 guess, because the soldiers were released asap.
day 1 Drone(s) fly in, day 2 state of emergency
day 3 soldiers are released
Where are all the suicide bombers now? hmmmm
This is what you do when the bullshit becomes neck deep and your sitting on a stock pile of nukes
Nobody likes a dictator but his situation is far more justified than “Bozo the Chavez”
November 4th, 2007 at 8:16 pmGlad they were released. Now they can get back to work hunting Taliban/Al Queda.
