US air strike wounds at least 3 Pakistanis
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - U.S. helicopter gunships wounded at least three Pakistani laborers in a missile strike against suspected Taliban fighters in the South Waziristan tribal region on Monday, according to security officials.

The three were brought to the Pakistani bordertown of Angoor Adda from a nearby mountain where they had been mining for minerals, but another eight men were unaccounted for, said the officials, who requested anonymity.

The attack came on the heels of criticism by a senior U.S. official of Pakistan's efforts to stop Taliban fighters crossing into Afghanistan to attack U.S. and Afghan forces.

Security officials said the attack was launched during the early afternoon on the slopes of a mountain called Khawaja Khizer.

1. We've been bombing Pakistan since at least January 2006
but the press has not been talking about it. This "war on terror" truly is spiraling out of control.

2. The Pakistani "little people" don't like that action much ...
The BushBotBorg best be careful with their bombing into Pakistan. If the natives revolt, the next Military Dictator may not be as friendly to the good ole' USA's Chimperor and his cabal of Neo-Cons.

4. These attacks are going to cause America's worst nightmare
The people will support the Islamic radicals and they will take power. We saw it happen in Cambodia when the Khmar Rouge took power using the U.S. air attacks to rally the people behind them.

An Islamic government in control of nuclear weapons would be a disaster for the U.S.
