ISLAMABAD: Pakistani troops have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire with al-Qaeda-linked fighters while the guerrillas' tribal allies try to negotiate a peaceful solution, a local administrator said on Tuesday.

The request for a ceasefire by the Mahsud tribe in South Waziristan area has been accepted to give the political process a chance," local administration chief Ismatullah Gandapur told reporters.

"The security forces will retaliate only if they are attacked." But on the first day of the ceasefire on Tuesday a soldier was killed and eight wounded when their convoy hit a landmine planted by militants in a north-western tribal town, officials said.


Well, ain't that interesting. I wonder what happens after 10 days...

1. The October Surprise begins....

Negotiating a turn over of bin Laden, perhaps?

3. Yeah, even though it's kind of obvious...

It seems that's what they're aiming for.

2. A peaceful solution with al-Qaeda?

So, our good allies are negotiating with the terrorists that did 9/11??? Another Bush failure.

4. But won't that shake our will?

I'm pretty sure that will shake our will!

How could Pakistan shake our will like that?

I'm shocked that Pakistan would even consider shaking our will like that!

[blm]

5. NEGOTIATING WITH TERRORISTS WHO MURDERED THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS?

Well, well, just like BushInc did business for decades with the murdering thugs and arms and drugs dealing terrorists.

What a fucking joke. An evil, manipulative JOKE.
