Another US drone strike in Pakistan -- killing 27. The second under Obama (unless I've missed something). It seems the Paki president, Zardari, will be on 60 Minutes this weekend. The BBC says he will say that Pakistan is now so heavily invested by the Taliban that Pakistan is fighting for its life.

Ho ho. Zardari's government releases from house arrest Dr Khan, the Paki nuke scientist who helped North Korea, Libya and Iran down that road.

February 2009. Obamaworld. A top American UN official is kidnapped in Pakistan. Brings back memories of WS Journal pen Daniel Pearl, who in the end lost his head.

All is now clear. (Unless clear as mud ...) Full scale NATO war in the Tribal Areas of Pakistan (where the americans have been attacking (see above) piecemeal since September) is on the books for early next year.

Post elections, a big question is what Team Obama will do in Afghanistan. Two talking heads chat about the matter.

American aid worker and Pakistani driver executed while making rounds in Peshawar, the provincial capital of a province in Pakistan dominated by pro-Taliban, anti-government forces that's been hit hard by American drone missiles. The night before (Nov 11), also in Peshawar, a suicide bomber attacked a stadium of people, apparently attempting to kill Paki leaders who had left the area minutes before.

In the 48 hours surrounding the election of Obama, American missiles killed over 40 people at an Afghan wedding and then another 10 in Pakistan.

It seems Bush-Cheney is intent on the war policy regardless of consequences.

It will take balls for Obama to change it (which of course would first require that he change his mind).

Vegas line is that the Other Side in Pakistan will not wait for Obama to arrive before putting the current government, led by Zardari, out of commission.
