"U.S. Strike Reported as Mullen Consults Pakistanis," by Pamela Constable and Shaiq Hussain, Washington Post, September 18, proves that the United States was looking for any excuse to attack Pakistan. What a coincidence that the Islamabad Marriot International hotel was bombed two days later. Download http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic...

If these Muslim attacks continue in the capital of Pakistan, I wonder if they'll change the name from Islamabad to IslamISbad? From my study of Islam, looks like those who named the capital of Pakistan, weren't very good at English grammar.

"Dear Mr. Hoagland,
Perhaps when you wrote this column you were unaware that the Marriott hotel truck bombing is a hoax. There was an explosion in the cab of the truck, but it was so small that the security guards next to the truck were unharmed."
Don't post videos if you don't understand what the narrator is saying--he says VERY CLEARLY in Urdu that this is the first blast and the larger one following which that huge truck caught fire and then exploded came LATER. All those security guards you saw in the video and decided were 'unharmed' were dead ten minutes later, buried in the rubble thrown up by a 20ft deep crater in front of the hotel building. How dare you belittle other people's suffering.

I do not believe 'Ghazal Farrukhi' for a moment. I still need a translation, however. Does anyone know an Urdu speaker? Click http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3lLRoEm_2k -

This is another video of the pitiful truck bomb. It contains some English, but not enough to make sense. A translation would be helpful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9ot_VL-rWc=1
