US military action in Pakistan under scrutiny - 25 Apr 08

The Pakistani government is under increasing public pressure to stop US warplanes from attacking so-called terrorist targets in the country.

Since 2002, the US has had permission to strike in the tribal regions that border Afghanistan.

But with talk of peace between Pakistan's government and tribal forces - there are renewed calls for such unilateral action to stop.

'usa is nothing without arabs'

Thats a joke right? The only thing we need in big supply from the Middle East is oil - which hopefully this president will fix during his term. Also, my family is from Germany and I am in my third year of German - so don't pretend you're cool just because you know Dutch and English. Contrary to popular belief we Americans do learn more than one language. Thanks for trying, again.

u damn USA u have chosen a wrong place, u have choisen those people who r in war , from the last 100 years , so they would not let u , come inside , as u have captured some of of these places but these r the PAKHTOONS, and u dont know them, they r very hospitable , but when some one mess with them then they r so dangerous. time will tell u. as u can see the example of british. before 1947 and also the Russia.

Pakistanis won't be talking so tough when the US intensifies strikes or invades. Neither Allah nor the Ummah nor even their American-made weapons will hold out for very long.

@lastminuteregret Americans were defeated in Viet Nam, recently in Iraq and will be again defeated in Afghanistan.....they will all die under the heaps of Taliban feces or drown inside the swirling urine of the Talibans.
