Pakistan Briefly Blocks 2 News Channels

(AP)  Pakistan briefly took two news channels off the air Saturday as they covered attempts by soldiers to capture two militants who broke into army headquarters following an attack on the complex.

Geo and Samaa channels, known for critical reporting of the government, were blocked from broadcasting for around an hour.

Government officials were not available for comment. Geo said it had been given no reason.

A message from Pakistan's media regulatory body appeared on those channels announcing it was temporarily suspending transmission of "independent news TV channels" until further notice.

Several other TV news channels also known for their hard-hitting reporting continued to broadcast.

Like other news channels, the stations had been covering .

The military said that two attackers had infiltrated the complex and were holed up inside but that troops had surrounded them.

Why does the Obama administration need to focus on stabilizing
Afghanistan after 8 years of neglect, failures and foolishness by Bush-Cheney-Rice-Rumsfeld?

Were they bored at all life or do they just get off starting wars they have no intention of completing?

Look at a map.

Pakistan is to the East. This attack against Pakistani military facilities could have been against their nuclear weapons stockpile.
Does anyone in the west know the sureity of their safeguards?

Iran is to the West. Does anybody believe the latest Hitler incarnation Ahmadinejad when he says he won a fair election?
How about when he calls for Israel's destruction and will only use a massively growing covert nuclear capability for peaceful purposes?

This is not easy, nor will it get any better in the forseeable future
unless a real plan is enacted and implemented between the Obama administration, the leadership of the Department of Defense and the Citizens of the United States along with our NATO/SEATO/ANZUS and other mutual defense partners.

By the way where is Saudi Arabia and the other Arab countries in all this? Didn't we pull their **** out of the wringer when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990? Aren't Al Qaeda and the Taliban supporting terrorism
in their fuedal kingdom or are they really all relatives supporting
human oppression represented by the Al-Wahh?b?yya? or Wahhabi cult?
Why aren't they fighting at our sides in Afghanistan?

Look at a map.

Those are all very sound points you make. Good questions. I wish I had the answers for you but I have all the same questions.

We need to get the hell out of there. It's a quagmire and each day I see events occuring that are designed to just bog us down in an un-winnable, never-ending expensive endeavor.

How did searching for Bin Laden evolve into this nation building? There are so many questions and too few answers. What a mess.
