New "Pact" in Pakistan!

New "Pact" in Pakistan?

As my kids would say...."Wa zup wit dat?"

I'd like you all to read the next two paragraphs from an article that appeared today describing an agreement that has just taken place in Pakistan. The full article is available at The Fourth Rail website by CLICKING the following link: http://billroggio.com/archives/2006/09/talibanistan_the_est.php

"To add insult to the defeat of the Waziristan truce, Pakistan has openly admitted that it would let Osama bin Laden remain a free man if committed to living a peaceful existence in the region. If he is in Pakistan, bin Laden 'would not be taken into custody,' Major General Shaukat Sultan Khan told ABC News in a telephone interview, 'as long as one is being like a peaceful citizen, reports ABC News' The Blotter. An independent intelligence source confirms Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan Khan's position is an accurate reflection of Pakistani policy. [Note: Pakistan has since retracted its statements on bin Laden and immunity, but the Blotter transcript of the interview refutes this.]

The Pakistani government has ceded a region the size of New Jersey, with a population of about 800,000 to the Taliban and al-Qaeda. The establishment of the Islamic Emirate of Waziristan is not the end of the Taliban's expansion, however. An intelligence source indicates similar negotiations between the Taliban and the Pakistani government are being held in the agencies of Khyber, Tank, Dera Ishmal Khan and Bajaur. The jihadi dreams of al-Qaeda's safe havens in western Pakistan have become a reality. And the gains made by the Coalition in Afghanistan have now officially been wiped away with the peace agreement in the newly established Islamic Emirate of Waziristan."

Geez! Well God, you can take me now because I've seen enough!

What's so striking about this little 2 paragraph statement is the matter-of-fact way in which it was reported. I had heard something about this yesterday on The Rush Limbaugh Show, but waited to see if the major networks picked up on it. None of the evening news shows I flip between, nor the 11:00 P.M. shows mentioned it. But today it's all over the internet and the blogosphere!

Kind of makes you wonder when important news items like this are overlooked...in favor of reporting whether or not Katie Couric was a "hit" or not! Hurray CBS!

Today Pakistani officials are saying that Osama Bin Laden wouldn't be safe if found anywhere in Pakistan.

Well duh!! Why would he come into Pakistan, when you've been so benevolent and given him and his band of gunslingers a piece of land the size of New Jersey?

Let me make sure I have this right. Some bad guy....comes into, let's say, Michigan. He's generally causing a lot of problems - this is a really bad guy. He's causing the death of civilians, the destruction of property, and generally stirring things up within an already troubled area. Your solution to the problem...is to give him the Upper Peninsula?

Would somebody please check to see if President Mushareff would mind pulling his head out of his "arse" for a moment?
