BREAKING- The Freedomist has learned that the recent attacks by the Taliban against the Pakistani Army headquarters were part of an audacious attempt to size the city of Kohat. Kohat and Kamra are the primary locations of Pakistan’s nuclear and missile arsenals and Kohat’s fall to the Taliban would sever the Pakistani high command from Kamra, and, hence the primary nucelar arsenal.

Unreported, but according to sources in Pakistan, there have been numerous attacks staged throughout the region in question and there has been a “piling up” of guerrila and insurgent forces under the aegis of the Taliban AND Al Quaida.

This is indrectly related to the recent arrest of a nuclear scientist in France, reported recently, and a recent accusation by Iran that the US had seized an Iranian nuclear scientist in Saudi Arabia.

While the hostage crisis inside the main Amrry Headquarters is garnering attention, less attention is being paid to a second attack in which Pakistani paramilitary units were engaged against Taliban and/or  Al Quaida forces for a road tunnel that links Kohat, with Darra Adam Khel.

Dear Creative Commoner,

This has been a big year for the Al Jazeera Network and our use of Creative Commons. In January we launched the world’s first repository of broadcast quality video footage released under a Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution (CC BY) license. At the time we made select Al Jazeera video footage – initially, footage of the War on Gaza – available for free to be downloaded, shared, remixed, subtitled and eventually rebroadcast by users and TV stations across the world, under the condition that they attribute the material to us.

…Mohamed Nanabhay, the 29-year-old executive who established Al Jazeera’s new-media group, beginning in late 2006, said that Al Jazeera planned to announce this week that all its video material of the war in Gaza would become available under the most lenient Creative Commons license, which basically means it can be used by anyone — rival broadcaster, documentary maker or individual blogger, for example — as long as Al Jazeera is credited.

Also, it currently streams its broadcasts in a variety of formats and has a dedicated channel on YouTube with more than 6,800 videos.

Al Jazeera said that since the war started the number of people watching its broadcasts via the Livestation service has increased by over 500 percent, and the views of videos on its YouTube channel have increased by more than 150 percent.

Also, Al Jazeera has created a Twitter feed on the “war on Gaza,” which provides frequent short messages that refer the public to new material that can be viewed online. During the weekend, there were more than 4,600 followers, not including the many more who view those short messages, called “tweets,” online. The Twitter feeds are also streamed onto Al Jazeera’s English Web site.

Hamas ain’t no Hezbollah: Good analysis on why Israel went inhttp://tinyurl.com/9yqgk8 ht @ethanz

Links to very pro-hamas article lamenting that it isn’t as militarized as Hezbollah, and should be…

Will Obama be more hardnosed with the Israelis? I doubt it. Why would he? You’re not supposed to say out loud that there’s a big rich Israeli lobby, but everybody knows there is. And more to the point, what’s their counterweight? Who cares about the Palestinians, even in the Arab world, never mind DC? So there’s a big net gain to any US politician who backs Israel and no reason at all to back their opponents.

So I don’t see why the Israelis are so worried about Obama. Still, a military planner’s job is to be paranoid and the Israeli staff has decided that since Bush is a sure thing and the new guy is an unknown quantity, why not do it now?

I’ll tell you something else: Obama’s people are cheering the IDF too, for the timing at least. “Dear IDF, Thank you for doing this while Bush is still around to take the heat! Signed, Barack.” That’s exactly what Obama meant when somebody asked him about Gaza and he said, “Hey, we only have one president at a time!”
That tells you something else about this operation: it’s likely to end before January 20, 2009. Obama doesn’t want his big inauguration party bummed out with pictures of dead Arab kids, so the IDF has this thing planned to end sometime in early January.

Of course planning is one thing, execution is another. The IDF planned for a quick clean fight against Hezbollah in 2006, but that’s not the way it worked out.

This time the IDF will succeed, at least in the short term, and the campaign will go according to plan. That’s my guess anyway. What we have here is Hamas getting a very hard lesson in why it’s dangerous to pretend you’re Hezbollah when you’re not.
