This is an opportunity for our buddy Mushareff to show how he is fighting the war on terror.
Or not.

Now that we know where you lying, thieving sons of bitches are it's easier to blow you off the map.
...I'm curious, think they took over Democrat party headquarters in this town? I mean, the Dems always cater to the illegal immigrant vote...

Waziristan (Urdu: æÃیÃÃÃÃä) is a mountainous region of northwest Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan and covering some 11 585 km² (4,473 mi²). It comprises the area west and southwest of Peshawar between the Tochi river to the north and the Gomal river to the south, forming part of Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas. The North-West Frontier Province lies immediately to the east. The region was an independent tribal territory from 1893, remaining outside of British-ruled empire and Afghanistan. Tribal raiding into British-ruled territory was a constant problem for the British, requiring frequent punitive expeditions between 1860 and 1945. The region became part of Pakistan in 1947.

Sounds like Osama decided that he'd like to hide out in a building for a change.

MIRAMSHAH, March 2: Tension gripped the North Waziristan agency... |
Mirah Shah: is located in the lower-central portion of the map below. For reference, note the Afghan cities of Kabul and Jalalabad, the Safed Koh mountains (home of the so-called Tora Bora cave complex) and the Paki city of Peshawar in the upper portions of the map. The entire Pakistani region shown along the Afghan border is known as the "Federally Administered Tribal Area" (FATA) and the specific agency you're looking at here is the North Waziristan. The whole area has been a hotbed of action with the Taliban and al-Qa'ida since day-one.

Asked who was in control of Miramshah, the official said: No-one really. The Taliban have (apparently) left, yet they are still there, and the government is there but is not in total control.It is but it isn't; it was but it wasn't. Just a bit of a disagreement between "paramilitary" forces (whoever they are) and terrorist outlaws, actually, no big whoop -- Pakistan really has a grip on this region, really.

You now both know that Zawahiri in his last audio tape admits during that Wana campaign we almost captured him.

In my best Pakistani voice:
There are no Taliban in Pakistan....none they are all in Afghanistan.

Conflict between various Pastun groups. The
Frontier Corps is out there. The tribal lashkars are out there. Armed bands of Taliban and al Qaeda are wandering around. And Mushy controls only what his soldiers are standing upon.

Where they will silently convert and cut the throats of the wives and children of opponents until there are none. Classic guerilla warfare and classic Islam. People predisposed to be Muslims can't really resist intellectually because the text of the Koran and Hadith is on the terrorists' side. That is why weening from Islam is the only long-term solution in the WOT and why apostasy is punished by death in Islam and why Islam demands so many public rituals and professions of "faith" to make apostasy immediately visible.
