I have been saying for weeks, since Bush’s visit to Pakistan, that the place to watch this year is the Waziristan province in Pakistan. Mark Coffey caught this article from Christopher Hitchens (since I was NOT keeping my Waziristan the last day or so) highlighting some recent Al Qaeda Butt Whooping going on there: A […]

The Taliban located and regrouping in Pakistan’s northern Waziristan Province and the Tribal Regions are waged in a losing battle with Pakistan forces.  The spring offensives have begun as another 40 Taliban are killed, adding to the 16 killed and 19 captured yesterday and the 200 last month: Security forces have killed at least 40 […]

Short update on the goings on in Pakistan’s norther Waziristan Province: Security forces have killed 16 miscreants and apprehended 19 others in North Waziristan Agency, says a military statement issued in Peshawar on Wednesday. However, militants have denied the claim of the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) and said four soldiers and five militants had […]

The GWOT is now clearly centered in the Norther regions of Pakistan along the Afghanistan border. That is where confrontation between the moderate and facsist arms of Islam is playing out: Suspected Islamic militants attacked a military base in a tribal region in northwestern Pakistan, killing one soldier and injuring four others, an intelligence official […]

For those spooked by Arab businessmen in the US, it is important to show what the true face of our enemy is so there is no confusion and misguided efforts. Pakistan’s Waziristand province and Tribal regions have become the main organizing focus of Al Qaeda and The Taliban as these animals use their barbaric methods […]

I have created a new topic solely on news from Pakistan because it seemed apparent to me that this was becoming a major focus of the Global War On Terror (GWOT). Seems I am not alone in this. Bill Rogglio posts on his belief Pakistan is not the prime battlefield in the GWOT: The Battle […]

Pakistan is booting the Afgahn Taliban out of their norther province. Authorities in a Pakistani tribal region troubled by Islamist militants said yesterday that thousands of Afghans thought to be living there must leave and return home. The North Waziristan tribal area bordering Afghanistan has been the scene of military strikes this month in which […]

I am still proudly amazed that President Bush visted our ally Pakistan to show support, at no small personal risk to himself: Beyond that, it was critical to maintain good relations with a country, however problematic, that is at the center of the battle against terrorism. “It was the proper call and a gutsy one,” […]
