ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The Pakistani military is so angry over the American airstrikes here last week that it is threatening to postpone or cancel an American program to train a paramilitary force in counterinsurgency for combating Islamist militants, two Pakistani government officials said.
President Pervez Musharraf, left, last year with his successor as army chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. The alliance between the United States and Pakistan has depended on the relationship between President Bush and Mr. Musharraf, whose power is waning. General Kayani has refused every suggestion of letting American forces operate in the tribal areas.
Some Pakistani officials are convinced that the Americans deliberately fired on their military, killing 11 men from the very paramilitary force the Americans want to train, an accusation the Americans deny.
The uncertainty over the program reflects how deeply scarred the United States’ alliance with Pakistan, already strained, has been since the June 10 airstrikes, Pakistani officials and Western diplomats said.
The $400 million training program is intended to combat militancy by fielding a paramilitary force, called the Frontier Corps, from among the tribes that live in the border areas. It was a compromise between American and Pakistani officials looking for the least intrusive way to fortify security in an area where the Pakistani government has rejected the idea of American soldiers and where even the regular Pakistani Army is often not welcome.
Ending or delaying the program, which is already under way, would deny the United States what little leverage it has in the tribal areas to combat a rising number of cross-border attacks from Pakistan into Afghanistan against American and NATO forces this year. 9024. concerned - 6/19/2008 5:24:29 PM

You and Larry Sinclair have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Do you understand?
Anything you do say may be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand?
You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand?
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. Do you understand?
If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Do you understand?
Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present? 9029. concerned - 6/19/2008 11:27:15 PM Sinclair says Hussein is unfit for office.
I have to agree with that. 9030. jexster - 6/19/2008 11:28:01 PM That's why our Founding Fuckers gave you both the right to remain silent 9031. concerned - 6/20/2008 4:32:04 AM Sinclair in your face until November, jexster.
Suck on that - you'll like it. 9032. jexster - 6/20/2008 11:03:37 AM I don't think they let prisoners hold press conferences 9033. jexster - 6/20/2008 6:46:59 PM McBush Army in Brzezinski's Afghan Trap 9034. jexster - 6/20/2008 6:55:07 PM Was 9/11 the most effective single military operation in the history of the world?
With a single strike al Qaeda changed the course of the world’s hegemonic state, by many measures the most powerful nation (relative to its time) that the world has ever seen. They did this at a negligible cost in money and manpower — never have so few changed so many with so little effort. Our counter-strikes have damaged or crippled al Qaeda, but its leaders may see al Qaeda as the vanguard of their movement, not its body — and hence expendable.
9/11 changed the course of America in terms of both internal and external policy, changing both in ways almost certainly inimical to our long-term strength and prosperity. Al Qaeda manipulated America as a matador does with a bull, waving a cape to so that the bull charges into position for the thrust of the sword. 9035. concerned - 6/21/2008 3:07:54 AM If 'Rats think 9/11 was a 'military operation', that multiplies their inadequacy to lead US policy. 9036. jexster - 6/21/2008 3:11:22 AM Not a rat...a DOD defense analyst 9037. jexster - 6/21/2008 3:11:58 AM Suckered Bush with the entire US army into two quagmires.

They ain't dumb 9039. jexster - 6/21/2008 3:17:56 AM The fact that Concerned is clueless on the point that 9/11 was a military operation speaks volumes of his and McBush's manifest ignorance of the type of war this really is - 4th Generation War in which they've lost and wrecked a 2nd generation army in the process
The track record of defeat since 2001 speaks for itself 9040. concerned - 6/21/2008 3:23:18 AM Rejexst - you're talking just like Tokyo Rose did in WWII. And we know how that ended. 9041. concerned - 6/21/2008 3:25:04 AM Murdering 2000 plus innocent civilians without warning is a military operation?
I don't think so, rejexst. It's mass murder.
