PESHAWAR, Pakistan – Pakistani tribesmen avenging a mosque attack surrounded two militant strongholds and destroyed the homes of some Taliban commanders, an official said Monday as the death toll in the fighting hit 13.

As many as 1,600 tribesmen have joined a citizens' militia in Upper Dir district — an indication of rising anti-Taliban sentiment in Pakistan as the military pursues its offensive against the militant group in the nearby Swat Valley.

The militias, known as lashkars, were focusing on two villages known as Taliban strongholds, said Khaista Rehman, a local police chief. Officials said Sunday the tribesmen had managed to clear three other villages.

The Taliban forgets its place in the big scheme of things. Arab/Persian feudal tribalism LONG predates Islamic fanaticism.

And the beat goes on...


ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Hundreds of Pakistani residents have taken up arms and are battling local Taliban militants in the wake of a deadly mosque attack last week.

It is the first major battle between the residents of northwest Pakistan and Taliban militants near the Afghanistan border.

The residents are outraged over a suicide attack on a local mosque during Friday prayers that killed at least 40 people and wounded some 80 others.

Starting on Saturday morning, some 400 villagers in the Upper Dir district formed a "lashkar" -- or militia -- to fight the Taliban, killing 14 of the militants as of Sunday evening, according to local administrator Atiq Ur Rehman. Four of the villagers have been injured in the battle, Rehman said.

The militia have burned a number of houses thought to be sheltering the militants, according to Upper Dir police chief Ijaz Kahn.

I know it hurts you that we are now winning, and that a smart president is much more effective than a dumb one.

Why does a President who says he does not want to impose his morality on anyone wage war on the Taliban?

Teddy Roosevelt understood the concept.

I must have missed it on the news.

When was the Taliban defeated???

 

[Fraulein Hilda]

That's not an answer.

Why not Iran? Why not North Korea? Why not Darfur?

What's his beef with the Taliban in Pakistan? What's the point of this war? What's the exit strategy?

You really don't understand politics do you?

The Pakistan government just invaded the Swat Valley. They could not have done that politically if Bush-Vader were still in power.

Even as "only Nixon could have gone to China", only Obama can defeat the Taliban and AQ.

Nope, straight as an arrow. You, however, treat Obama like a gay lover, as you did for clinton, so what can I say?

You obviously were abused as a child, and this caused you to hide your gay tendencies.
