Mush resolve, taking the war to the areas where no one ever has dared to take it. I wish Oreilly and NYT can appreciate his stakes. It is easy ot condemn people and nations difficult to produce action, once they are on board they are on board, that is nice to see.. Thousands of angry tribesmen protested in northwestern Pakistan on Thursday and proclaimed Islamic militants their friends after troops blew up homes of people accused of harbouring al-Qaeda militants. Troops destroyed two houses and detained four people in the village of Jani Kheil after tribesmen refused to hand over six "Arab" al-Qaeda suspects thought to be hiding there. Witnesses said protesters gathered in the town of Bannu, close to Jani Kheil, and chanted slogans against the United States and the military government of President Pervez Musharraf, a key ally in the U.S.-led war on terror. They vowed to resist the crackdown on Islamic militants. "Mujahideen (holy warriors) are our friends and the government should not harass them," one of their leaders said. Pakistan's armed forces have be hunting large numbers of al Qaeda members and their Taliban allies who are thought to have crossed into Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal region after U.S. forces began pursuing them in Afghanistan last year.
