From the Strata-Sphere:
Those of us who have been keeping an eye focused on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border and the lawless tribal regions of Pakistan (the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and the North West Frontier Province (NWFP)) have know from sporadic news reports spanning almost year that the CIA and US Special Forces were operating inside Pakistan, along side the Pakistan government. The recent pressure from the US (and others) on Pakistan to deal with the remaining cesspool of Islamo Fascist terrorists in their tribal areas has been causing fractures and emotions to run high.
And this recently led to Pakistan exposing the fact openly that they have sanctioned and supported CIA and US Special Forces hits on the people of the Tribal Areas:
PAKISTAN last night accused the US of failing to “take out” al-Qa’ida-linked militant leader Baitullah Mehsud with CIA Hellfire drone missiles when it had the chance.
The accusation was an attempt to turn the tables on critics of the nation’s spy agency, the ISI, who say the agency has done little to stem rising Islamic militancy in tribal regions.

Pakistani officials told the US chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, and CIA deputy director Stephen R.Kappes that no action had been taken to mobilise the CIA’s Hellfire drone missiles when “actionable intelligence” was provided that Mehsud would be travelling in his Toyota Land Cruiser to a media conference he had called in his mountain stronghold in South Waziristan on May 24.
He reached the conference, and returned home afterwards, along exposed mountain roads.

My Comment: Should we be surprised? I am just glad that they are there, and I look forward to the day when they knock off the Al Qaeda leadership.
