PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) - Militants in northwest Pakistan disavowed a peace pact with the government and launched two days of suicide attacks and bombings that killed at least 70 people, dramatically escalating the violence in the al-Qaida infiltrated region. The attacks Sunday and Saturday followed strident calls by extremists to avenge the government's bloody storming of Islamabad's Red Mosque and a declaration of jihad, or holy war, by at least one pro-Taliban cleric. Termination of the peace treaty, the hopeful handiwork of President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, puts even greater pressure on the military leader as he struggles with both Islamic...

U.S. Aborted Raid on Qaeda Chiefs in Pakistan in ’05 By MARK MAZZETTI WASHINGTON, July 7 — A secret military operation in early 2005 to capture senior members of Al Qaeda in Pakistan’s tribal areas was aborted at the last minute after top Bush administration officials decided it was too risky and could jeopardize relations with Pakistan, according to intelligence and military officials. The target was a meeting of Al Qaeda’s leaders that intelligence officials thought included Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden’s top deputy and the man believed to run the terrorist group’s operations.

In his new book, Mr. Tenet states that shortly after the September 11 attacks, Mr. Bush briefed Mr. Putin about a Pakistani nongovernmental group, Umma Tameer-e-Nau. The group, whose members included extremist nuclear scientists, was helping the Taliban and al Qaeda develop nuclear arms. The president "asked Putin point blank if Russia could account for all of its [nuclear] material," he states in his book, "At the Center of the Storm." "Choosing his words carefully, the Russian president said he was confident he could account for everything -- under his watch," Mr. Tenet stated, noting that the deliberately ambiguous response...

In a 2004 article,researcher/attorney Ross Getman voiced a belief the original anthrax plotters had been captured,killed, or otherwise neutralized; and that this explains why there was no subsequent attack. The article came to light during a review of George Tenet's new book; and, with Ross' permission, I have republished it on my site as a Guest Post. Getman's research -whether he is right or wrong -has been exhaustive.

How Pakistan settled an al-Qaeda score By Syed Saleem Shahzad KARACHI - Internal squabbling between the Taliban and al-Qaeda and exploited by Pakistan forced many al-Qaeda leaders to move from the tribal areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan to Iraq in search of new headquarters from which to operate.

On Friday, the Pentagon announced that Hadi had been arrested late last year and handed over to the US Central Pakistan's priorities were crystal-clear: it did not...

Just a simple question for the Freepers out there. Can we win the war on terror as long as Iran and Syria remain untouched? As long as the Mullahs in Tehran and their friends in Damascus continue to arm, fund, support and train both the terrorists in Iraq and Lebanon as well as provide safe haven for terrorist leaders from Al Qaeda to Hamas, can we really make any meaningful progress in the war on terror? Why, 5 years after 9/11, has the US and its allies not laid so much as a finger on either of the two linchpins...

Sorry it has been five months since my last update, but then, we have been busy. Let me give you the bottom-line up front (BLUF), and then catch you up on things. Feel free to forward this to whomever, since we still can’t seem to get the press to tell folks what is going on. This is how the fight is going from my foxhole, and it is much more than the bombings, US casualties, and rumors of civil war the press seems to be focused on.

President Bush, like 8.2 million other Americans, belongs to the United Methodist Church. So the bishops of America’s third largest communion have taken a special interest in their prominent parishioner – by repeatedly bashing his policy on Iraq.

In their most recent anti-war statement issued late last year, the bishops demanded that Bush "immediately" craft a plan to withdraw all U.S. troops...
