Finally...Pakistan has their heads on straight! Maybe now the US can do secret missions there and get rid of these terrorists groups who think that they can hide out in Pakistan and not be touched.

But one thing....CNN is it really smart for you all to be telling about this? I mean Pakistan did say they wanted to keep it quiet so why are you telling it? I mean don't you think that you are jeopardizing them letting us go in again?

Cindy...Ga.

Its sad to see how US media once again backing the failed government policy of trying to invade yet another country.

Does anyone in US command know the history of these tribal areas they are trying to bomb their way through? The area needs political integration and diplomatic dialogue. The taliban situation in Pakistan never reached the hights it has attained after US led war on terror in Pakistan. How do you suppose to control such a long border. Have US been ever able to control its border with Mexico?

These moves from US only want to destablize pakistan further, so they can eventually break the country into several halfs and destroy its nuclear program.

Pakistan's nuclear assets are a detterant against the nuclear India. These assets have always been in safe hands and Pakistan never had an agenda to attack US or its allies around the world. If there are sentiments against US within Pakistani people then that is rooted all across the Muslim world for the fact that US tries to control each of the Mid-eastern country with its economic and military power.

I hope Pakistani people and military stand up to the challenge and defeat all forces whether taliban or US forces who are a threat to her sovereignity and lives of her citizens.

I am a working mother. I consider the mother part most important. If I had a newborn with special needs and a pregnant unwed teen, I would not consider a professional move that would avert my attention from the needs of my children. And for certain, not at the expense, the exploitation of these children. As a woman, a mother and a professional, I am so disappointed . Selfish and thoughtless move by Gov palin and the Republican party....

Hello Barbara,

I always love your reports. I'm glad that we are doing what we need to do even if it's under the radar if you know what I mean. We have to what we have to do. I just hope the government in Packistan can get it's act together.

If Im not mistaking Did not Barack suggest such an action? Seems to me Buch is taking notes from barack,s book on How to get Osama and qwelling terrorist. They Probably need to deploy some against the terrorist here in America namely at the Rnc

Truth is hard to publish but I believe there are enough good people in CNN to face and publish it. Verify my comments' accuracy to your heart's content and next time publish a blog with all the facts not what the people like to hear.

i thank mcain for his service.all americans have serviced this country.mcain has first hand experience at what all vets go through , what programs or policys has mcain has emplimented for homless vets, disable vets, all vets.

This is an excellent move by U.S. and Pakistani military commanders They will have to keep this very quiet for the time being due to the fact that if some sort of agreement is reached politcally and the media makes a huge deal about it, it will cause unrest and we will loose the upper hand in combating insurgents coming over from the border, whom are our real enemies , the ones who attacked us 8 years ago. And even look at it this way Pakistan's governement is cooperating.

i am glad that the US finally went into Pakistan. the US may have not respected the sovereignty of that country but Pakistan has not been doing a good job of stopping the flow of militia between the afghan/pakistan border. especially with the current political turmoil in pakistan, how can anyone expect any of their political leaders to do anything? the US was right in what they did, now the militants realize that there is no safe haven for murderers.

Please! Can anybody stop the americans that go killing innocent people around the world!? Why is this different from the russia incursion in Georgia? C'mon people! Why americans can do whatever they want around the globe without any retaliation from the "invaded" countries? Maybe that's why the world needs another country to be the opposite side of the military power of the americans.

This was destined to happen. This was years in the making.

What is happening today in Pakistan is what I and most of my friends living in the U.S. but in very touch with affairs in Pakistan have feared for over three years now. Bush administration's Pakistan policy and Musharraf's blind support for Bush administration, or at least lack of logical argument against it was destined to create this atmosphere. It was destined to strengthen the so called militants and their power to recruit the deprived and uneducated warriors. We gave birth to – and supported the Taliban to fight the Russians. Now that we needed to fight the Taliban themselves after 9/11, look at where we have gotten! How much success have we really achieved in Afghanistan? Depends on who is defining success but to me, declaring success in Afghanistan anytime in the near future or ever will be same as President Bush getting on the ship with a banner on the back stating ‘mission accomplished! 5 or years, more than half a trillion dollars, 5000 of our brave men and women, half a million innocent Iraqis’ later, where are we with mission accomplished?

We have created the same environment or at least given a reason to the influential evil powers in Northern Pakistan to capitalize on the ignorance of the uneducated and the unemployed to hire and train them to go out and kill innocent people. We then call these people terrorists and the fight against them as War on Terror.

But what does all that really mean? And what are we going to achieve by continuing to bomb an area or a region that prospered, in a very unfortunate and an extremely negative way, but still the fact that it prospered due to our lack of knowledge on how to effectively deal with that area/region in the first place. I laugh when President Bush himself or someone associated with him talks about how we need to deal with terrorism on the offense versus on the defense. To them, dealing with terrorism on the offense means bombing. I agree that indeed that is one way of dealing with it. But what about being on the offensive via 'Economic Prosperity'. Help create an economic prosperous environment and help build schools so the mentality of young children will become the same as the mentality of young children here in our country or like children in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad where killing innocents is believed to be the worst thing that one can do in life, regardless of what religion and what nationality the target is from.

We have sent millions and millions of dollars to Musharraf and Company which we have no account of how and where it were used. I am not asking for extra dollars but the same that we sent over to Pakistan in six years now, had we made sure that part of it went to helping the region prosper economically, we would have avoided the evil powers in the region to effectively recruit the less fortunate and uneducated young men to fall prey to the evil powers who promise a reward to these innocents if they bomb other innocents and kill themselves while at it.

Bush administration is on its way out. Musharraf is already history. Whether President Obama or President McCain will understand this philosophy and to what extent is yet to be seen. But I pray to God, for the sake of America, Pakistan, and the rest of the world they do better than what Bush & company and what Musharraf and Company have done. My hopes are with our next President because now in Pakistan, with Asif Zardari poised to be the next President, only God, if he comes down to earth physically can save Pakistan from deteriorating further, economically and otherwise.

This is as sad as it gets. I cant believe reading comments from actually people of USA supporting this outrageous foreign policy of bombing countries at will.
