Oh my, Pakistani soldiers not full of zeal ...killing Al Qaeda unislamic, DUH, what took this story so long to show up?

What is so completely BORING about being right again and again and again in this vein is that it is only by going a few std deviations off the scale of cynicism I HAVE internally is where I end up correct.

Scores of Pak soldiers desert forces

TIMES OF INDIA : ISLAMABAD: Scores of Pakistani soldiers have deserted the security forces deployed in tribal areas bordering Afghanistan, mainly because they were not sure whether fighting against their 'own people' was morally right, media reports said on Saturday.

"I did not desert the force because I feared death, but I was not sure whether the fighting in tribal district Waziristan was Islamic or not," a soldier from paramilitary Frontier Corps told the Daily Times.

The man, who recently refused to serve in tribal areas, claimed the same question was haunting many other soldiers and the confusion was stopping them from "putting up a tough fight" against the Taliban and Al-Qaida elements in the area. Pro-Taliban militiamen pulled out of peace treaties with the government after troops stormed the Lal Masjid in the capital on July 10, and launched a series of raids on security forces.

He confirmed the desertions but insisted these should be ignored as "insignificant incidents”. "Small-scale desertion takes place in any force and in any country for one reason or another," Arshad told the newspaper.

Nothing is different there since 1996, and all this was INEVITABLE from the the 1973 oil embargo which filled the coffers of the Al Saudwho commissioned the Al Sheikh to go forth and create madrassahs and worldwide venom. Add in Zia ul Haq, and there we are.

Pakistan is a jihadi nation (that takes only about 30-40% btw) controlled by a man who is trying to be killed by his own intelligence services, and who cannot really control his own armed forces.

The pushtu people are the enemies of the american people.

It couldn't be more plain.

They buy Qutb.
