I hope that Barack Hussein Obama and General Petraeus see this article and learn something - if the Pakistani military is willing to take the chance on some civilian casualties coming from an air offensive against the Taliban, then the U.S. and NATO outta be willing to do the same in Afghanistan. End of discussion.
From the report at DAWN, the Pakistanis unleashed air strikes by fighter jets and attack helicopters today and they hit many Taliban targets while running up a kill count of 8 Taliban. Good for them!
I'm not sure where this Teerah Valley is in Pakistan but typically, the Pakistani military has used this air power to soften a plot of geography and then send in artillery and then finally proceed with ground troops to clean out the area - let's hope that is in the plans here.
In the meantime, you paying attention, Barry?

Military jets kill eight militants in Khyber Agency
PESHAWAR: A Pakistani official says government airstrikes have killed eight suspected insurgents in the Khyber tribal region bordering Afghanistan.
Local official Ameerzada Khan says fighter jets and helicopter gunships pounded suspected insurgent hideouts in Nare Baba and Sheen Drand villages in Teerah Valley on Tuesday and killed eight militants.
Two intelligence officials also confirmed the airstrikes but said 30 insurgents were killed. The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
