Heroes

No one ever talks about it, but there can be little question that there are US special forces operating in and out of the Taleban areas of Pakistan.

We'll never get to give those guys the parade they deserve.

  • I suspect the covert activity actually involves rewarding local informers for providing drone targets. But who knows?

  • Oh yeah. I don't think on the ground US personnel sight every strike, but I would be extremely surprised if there weren't US personnel on the ground in some capacity.

  • Somebody has to liaise with the local informers...the Af/Pak border is pretty fluid. And there were rumours about US Marines being in the Marriott Hotel blast. But that seems to have faded away. There was talk of 'trainers' too.

  • Yeah. You gotta figure there are some field people dealing with locals.

  • Must be some. But I think a 'typical' American would stand out like a sore thumb. They probably use double agents and people who blend in. Dangerous job in any case.

  • Big question is whether bombing civilians really helps the cause of peace.
