The Beat Goes On


Well we're winning hearts and minds again today with the killing 13 people, some said to be civilians, in Pakistan. This and other recent attacks have been focused on the followers of Baitullah Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taliban who recent has said he will attack America. He is seen as posing one of the greatest threats to US President Barack Obama’s push to stem Pakistan’s slide towards instability.
All this while Obama is trying to get more troops into the war from Europe. He's not having much luck. This on the heels of General David Petraeus telling congress he needs 10,000 more troops than Obama has planned to send. Oh well... the beat goes on....
