The latest headline reads: At least 124 dead as bombs target Bhutto.

“Now the military is going for broke to break the back of the Taliban and a-Qaeda in Pakistan and reclaim the entire area.”

Is this too good to be true?

All you need to do is get a woman involved, they'll get things right

Judith A. Klinghoffer is right . There can be no quarter given.
I think it is clear that Musharraf has learned that appeasing terrorists and pirates is a failed policy .

The attack on Bhutto will backfire on al-Qaeda like all the sensationalized brutal attacks in Iraq did. The people love Bhutto and they will demand senseless violence cease. I brought it up on the doom and gloom posting . Jihadistan is in retreat everywhere. They have run out of sanctuary . The more countries adopt the Bush doctrine the sooner their ultimate defeat .

For some reason the street lights on the route of the convoy were not working.

Kamal Hyder, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Islamabad, said pro-Taliban groups had denied they were involved, and Bhutto accused supporters' of late military ruler Muhammad Zia ul-Haq of being behind the blasts. If you recall Zia overthrew Bhutto's father, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in 1977 and had him hanged two years later.

Anyway, I'll believe the Taliban is run out when I see it. That whole armpit of the world is so factionalized and the average citizen so illiterate it may be years before the Taliban, a-Qaeda and their way of thinking is just a matter of history.
