Pakistan's Air Force Continues the Carnage, 25 Taliban Killed In Airstrikes Today


Alas, there's no U.S. predator drone strike to report today but the great news is that the Pakistani air force continues the operation of carnage against the Taliban in Orakzai agency with airstrikes today hitting the Taliban and killing a total of 25.

Now, I ask you to consider this - did you EVER see the day where it would be the Pakistani government that was filling its skies with jet aircraft laden with JDAMs pounding the shit out of the Taliban while across the border in Afghanistan, American F-16's sit on the ground while the American Commander-in-chief plays another round of 18 holes?

Meanwhile, the Taliban continue to stream across the Afghan border seeking the refuge that one Barack Hussein Obama has offered them in Afghanistan. It was only three years ago that the outrage came from America that all of our efforts in Afghanistan were being undermined by the Pakistanis allowing the Taliban safe haven inside of NW Pakistan. I guess this is more of the "Change" a country full of the gullible opted for, huh?
