Pakistanis Continue To Flee to Afghanistan As Violence Escalates

"Our bill calls for the redeployment of U.S. troops out of Iraq so that we can focus more fully on the real war on terror, which is in Afghanistan."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
March 8, 2007
Democrats may be a bit off in their foreign policy assessment again.
Pakistanis continue to flee to Afghanistan to escape the violence at home.
The BBC reported:
Thousands of Pakistanis have fled into Afghanistan with the security situation deteriorating in Pakistan's tribal regions over the past week.

Hundreds of families, comprising some 6,000 mainly women and children, have been crossing the border.

The UN refugee agency says clashes between Pakistan's Shia and Sunni groups have forced people to flee.

It is the first time so many people have crossed this way as for years it was Afghans fleeing fighting.
The Astute Bloggers says there is a major conflict brewing in the tribal regions.

Although in 1837 Jackson was retired, he still thought of himself as the Party's leader and was shown trying to get the donkey to go where he wanted it to go. The cartoon was titled "A Modern Baalim and his Ass."

[Osama bin Laden hiding around Bajaur, says President Pervez Musharraf

President Pervez Musharraf has for the first time identified an area where he thinks al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden may be hiding, according to Dawn.

When asked where he thinks the Osama could be, Musharraf said in an interview to The Washington Post that he could be in the area that borders Pakistan’s Bajaur tribal agency and Afghanistan’s Kunar province.]

thanks for all the info.. i sure hope the yhit hits the fan.. as diplomacy never works with AQ et al.. in their world it's a sign of weakness and a way for them to advance (take advantage)..
