First and foremost, our condolences go out to the friends and families of the brave soldiers who lost their lives in this cross border incursion. Our nations continue to pay the highest price in fighting terrorism. We’ve already lost thousands of brave soldiers in fighting these terrorists on both sides of the border. It only makes sense for us to work together and negate the threat posed by these terrorists. We restate what Richard Hoagland, the charge d ’affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, said recently: “In this dangerous world where terrorists can strike at any moment, we must all work together – Pakistanis and Americans alike – because we have a strong mutual interest in defeating terrorism.”

The Pakistani military said it killed 29 Taliban fighters on Wednesday in the final stage of an operation aimed at forcing hundreds of insurgents back across the border into Afghanistan.
Soldiers used artillery, helicopter gunships and fighter jets against the insurgents, accused of beheading 17 Pakistani soldiers in June.
The battle was the culmination of weeks of operations in the remote valleys of the Batwar area of Bajaur tribal agency near the border. It highlighted once again the difficulty of preventing insurgents from crossing the border to launch attacks or flee from Pakistani or Nato forces bolstering the Afghan government.
Holy smokes!
Artillery, gunships, fighter jets?! What the fcuk were the PA fighting? Soviet Union?
I just don't understand how come you guys don't fence your border.
Everytime these loonies always keep shuttling from Pakistan to Afghanistan and back as if they own both the countries.
Why not unilaterally fence the damn border? It is not like you need NATO's clearance for that as it is a standard international border.
This maybe a hard decision due to the Pushtun border communities but it is better than dying soldiers.
The best cooperation between Pakistani and American forces will be to seal their sides of the border...First and foremost, our condolences go out to the friends and families of the brave soldiers who lost their lives in this cross border incursion.

Maybe you need to visit the area sometime.
Fencing the border there is not really a feasible option.
1- The area is too hilly, and the terrain gives difficulty in putting up the fence on a huge border in the first place. Sulaiman range and HinduKush run through the ******* border.
2- The effective patrolling is also a problem. Erecting outposts along the area. The problem is that it is aling Afghanistan, from where the TTP and other baddies can come in hordes at will, so you also have to have a sufficient compliment of men at the post.
When 500 men cross at once, a mere fence can't stop them.
My Question is , How The HELL can the flee ?? What are NATO forces doing on the other side of the border , Smoking Weed ???
Talk about Hypocrisy , and they tell us to do More.
Read the whole article. It's a misleading headline: the 29 Taliban dead are from a single incident, the 25 soldiers dead are from the entire multi-week operation which killed 120 militants.how can a bunch of yaboos always inflict such heavy casualties on a trained army?
